Today's daily (10-21-16) is from The Taken King. Specifically the mission where the player ascends a pre-collapse colony ship, to find a stealth drive. At the end of the mission their is a scannable pod which triggers dialogue from your ghost. In this dialogue the ghost mentions a guardian who wants to stay in the stasis pod; because he is tired from a previous war. This raises suspicion as to who this is and what that war was.
I am not sure who this could be, because we know how all the legends end. Rezzal Azzire (don't judge my spelling) most likely turns into Dredgen Yor, Saint-14 goes after Osiris, Tolland the shattered is roaming the ascendant relm, and the Iron Lords died to SIVA. I can't think of any other guardians who were MIA or KIA.
So I now pose the question of "who is in the pod?" I have no idea as to who it could be. Or even what the battle they were is could have been called, because we know what happens to all accounted guardians after the major battles. Before I finish this off I'd like to mention that the exo stranger is not a guardian, so bear that in mind.
Edit: after many of the same response I realize that it was a reference to Halo. However I'd like to know if their is a lore based explanation. Finally, this is not the place to argue about Dregen Yor's identity; I said might when in reference to him so let's keep it stasis related.

I think its a Master Chief easter egg, but a while back I did see a fun post that suggests the guardian is a nod to Stosh. The evidence is that the pod number was #10201, and the 2 shouldn't have even been there since the number was supposed to be binary code.
