"[opening cinematic] I never knew you in life. Your first life, anyway. You died on a battlefield long before my time. Something special brought us together. They called it "the Traveler", and when it arrived, it changed your world forever. It was a Golden Age, and for centuries, humanity thrived... until it didn't. An ancient enemy pursued the Traveler across the universe. Humanity faced extinction. But the Traveler made a choice. Its sacrifice destroyed its ancient enemy, and brought life to the Ghosts. I am a Ghost; more importantly, I'm your Ghost. And you are one of the Traveler's chosen. You are a Guardian. This is your destiny."

"[to the player, flying to the City, which is not answering comms] Remember when I said you fly too fast? Forget I said that. Fly fast!"

"[to the player, during the final battle] Fitting your Traveler would send you to face me once more. Look upon me. Dominus of the Red Legion, annihilator of suns, razer of a thousand worlds, slayer of gods, and conqueror of the Light! I... AM... GHAUL! And I have become legend!"

"Your Traveler should have chosen me, and now it is too late! Look upon your dead god! It won't save humanity a second time! I am Ghaul! I claim what is mine!"

"[endgame: after being defeated by the player, Ghaul ascends as a massive being of pure Light] Traveler! Do you see me now? I am immortal! A god! You have failed! Witness the dawning of a new age! [the dark shell caging the Traveler cracks, breaking through the cage; Ghaul raises his hand to shield his eyes as the whiteness begins to grow, realizing...] You do see me... [the glow increases in intensity] NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! [the shell around the Traveler shatters in a shockwave of Light, vaporizing him]"

"You're not brave. You've merely forgotten the fear of death. Allow me to reacquaint you."
