Who is Immaru in Destiny 2?

The threats keep coming.

Leading up to the release of Destiny 2’s expansion, The Witch Queen, developers Bungie are dropping several hints about what they plan to add to the game’s story and the looming threat of the Lucent Brood, the members of the Hide that have access to the Light and Ghosts. One of the bigger teases is an upcoming enemy named Immaru, which Bungie shared in a brief transmission on various social media networks. This guide covers who Immaru could be in Destiny 2 and their potential significance to the story.

In the brief transmission, this is what the character Immaru says. “Attention all lucent hives, Immaru here with your marching orders. Got a high priority messenger passing through our territory, keep those gun toting wagamaggots off her.” That was the first transmission. Others have been released after this. During the second transmission, we’ve learned that Immaru is referred to as the First Ghost, which likely means Immaru could likely be one of the Ghosts tied to a Hive Knight and is directly in command with Savathûn.

Outside of the audio, we have extremely little to go on during the transmission right now. There are a handful of theories of who Immaru could be. There are multiple theories happening right now, with even some interpreting these details as Immaru running ‘patrols’ against Guardians, which players regularly do while running around any planet they visit as a daily activity.

Right now, there’s no definitive answer, but we do have a connection to Immaru being a Ghost of some kind, potentially. The transmission does give us a name, and a difficult-to-hear-voice, of one of Savathûn’s allies, and we can expect to see them in the upcoming The Witch Queen expansion when released in Destiny 2.
