Is Shin Malphur still active? Considering guardians are now wielding Darkness, do you think Shin is still putting down guardians who get corrupted and go bad?
I don't think that Shin Malphur requires the Last Word to continue his work. I think any hand cannon would do. I think it would be a great time to reintroduce Shin and the Shadows of Yor.
The Darkness is on our doorstep, some guardians are using stasis and being corrupted, we have the Osteo Striga (a new weapon of sorrow). This is Shin Malphur's jam.
Maybe we could introduce another weapon of light like Lumina to contrast Osteo Striga.
For all we know Shin is in the Tower keeping an eye on things. We have no clue what he looks like, so we would have no clue.
Another option, is to have Shin take Crow under his wing like Jaren Ward did with him, to teach him what it truly is to be a hunter. Let's face it, Crow needs mentors.
Edit: All I know is that Shin belongs in the story now more than he did during the Last Word and Lumina quest lines. There are few who know more about darkness and walking the razors edge than Shin Malphur and the Shadows of Yor. They devoted themselves wholly to studying it.
I don't think we should trust Elsie, Eris and the Drifter when it comes to stasis. Though they might have good intentions they come off as misguided. I think Shin and the Shadows of Yor could help balance them out, with the knowledge they've accumulated studying how to avoid Thorns corrupting power.

Shin really only targets those who stray too far, that's why he is part of the shadows of yor but only hunts those who go too far.

Malphur will always be my favorite lore character

2 RepliesYou know, he stopped with the black and white mentality. He realized there were guardians from the light that subjugated humans, guardians who killed guardians...he didn't hunt just darkness in terms of abilities, but corruption of the psyche. As far as I can tell we are still on the side of protecting humanity and Sol...though it seems fleeting.

4 RepliesShin hunts those that do fall to the corruption of darkness but that’s it as far as I know he’s still around but what’s he doing is anyones guess As for our ‘dark vanguard’ odds are shin may have visited them after all he did form the shadows of yor to help guardians more or less use both light and dark hence why back in opulence he gave us the task to burn the corruption off the original thorn and make lumina. So shin may still hunter guardians that fall to darkness but he knows that more guardians are starting to find the grey, the balance

2 RepliesI hope he goes on a killing spree , permadeathing every guardian who even looked at a darkness shard because they absolutely deserve it

I doubt bungie will bring him into the actual game, but it be cool to get some more lore about him and his views on stasis
