❤️❤️❤️

The Temple halls were quiet, the torches guttering. Normally no one would be up and about at this hour, but one particular Hunter simply couldn't help it.

Gheleon paced the halls restlessly, the energy he was giving off making the few people who saw him avoid him entirely. He wasn't stalking like he normally did; he was downright jumpy, and a jumpy Gheleon made for unfortunate holes in objects (and sometimes people).

"Wearing a track in the floor won't help, you know," Timur said from his position of relative safety at a corner of a hallway. Gheleon yipped and drew a blade, but relaxed almost immediately.

"How do you stand it?" Gheleon asked, crossing to step into Timur's waiting embrace. Timur hugged the shorter Hunter close and chuckled.

"Who says I do? But he'll be fine, promise," Timur murmured.

"I know, I know, I just... We've only just begun this ... this ... us, and I always think of the worst things happening, and now I'm thinking of the worst things happening to him," Gheleon admitted.

"I know, but Colovance is smart, and sharp, and resourceful. I know this, and so do you," Timur said, then pulled back a little to look down at the Hunter briefly before he leaned in to give him a gentle, soothing kiss on the lips.

"Come on, stop pacing and come to bed. He'll be fine," Timur said a minute later after he broke the kiss.

Gheleon heaved a sigh, leaning a little further into Timur's embrace. "Yeah. Yeah, okay."

Hm, tough question. Not sure what also qualifies as less known to most people but some of my faves:

Lord Gheleon - love this dude. Completely unhinged, but also brilliant and good. Loves knives and bones, which I relate to deeply.

Quantis Rhee - One of the rare Nightstalker Hunters and Cayde's Nessus scout. Void users my beloved.

She knows how to roll black holes between her fingertips, and how to nock her bow with the inescapable gravities of the universe.

She is a Nightstalker. Out here—balanced upon the infinitesimal knife's edge—is where she truly belongs.

Love this lady. Please show us more of her, Bungie.

Tevis Larsen - another Nightstalker Hunter. I just realised I only listed Hunters. SMH my bias is showing. But anyway, this dude is technically not lore-only because he sort-of appears in D1 as a part of the quest to get the Nightstalker subclass, but I have to include him. Love his deadpan attitude and being frenemies with Cayde. Graviton Forfeit lore tab shows some of his views. Also love the fact that he's implied to be dead but also not dead? Atelic lore tab is implied to be from his POV, despite the fact that we found him dead in D1 and took his powers, but apparently he's aware of that (and chastises us in this lore tab: true legend).

To prevent from listing more Hunters, here's a Ghost I absolutely adore and which only appeared in one lore tab but I would die for her: Peach. Honestly no summary I could give would adequatly capture her vibes. You have to read this yourself.
