What's special about YOUR specific guardian?
So I generally think about games from a storyline point of view, and I noticed something strange. Your guardian is constantly doing things for the vanguard and your allies. If you play Destiny 2 and chose to transfer your character from D1, then you were presented with a cutscene of all the accomplishments you achieved. But as far as the storyline goes from both games, no other guardians are mentioned.
You never hear of "Shock-9", the Exo titan that completed the VOG before you. From the story line, you completed all the strikes, nightfalls, raids, and defeated all main enemies -Crota, Orix, etc...-, you were the beginning of the new iron lords, you were the first and only guardian to regain your light after the last city was attacked, and defeated GARY.
Granted, you need a fire team for some things, -like the Leviathan- but if there is a cutscene afterwards, only your guardian appears. The only recognition of your deeds that I noticed, was when you visited the vendors and vanguards after the campaign, and they gave a 1-2 sentence long, "thanks". From the storyline point of view, you should be treated as royalty.
I can't be the only one to have noticed this. What's your thoughts on the matter?

My Human Hunter and Awoken Warlock are the same person, and he is not a true guardian. Human Hunter [spoiler] So my Hunter is named Jorn, and he managed to escape with several other people when the Fallen raided his small settlement. Suffering several serious wounds while slaying much of the Fallen hunting party that was pursuing them, he was near death when a Hunter and a Titan of the Pilgrim Guard rescued them. Impressed with his victory over the Fallen without being able to wield the light, the Hunter gifted him with a cloak of a Takanome Ranger, an extinct cadre of snipers that secured the pilgrim roads before the Risen began to show up. Years later, haunted by loss and survivor guilt, and driven by guilt, Jorn fled the City. He posted himself at a crossroads with stolen Vandal line rifle and sniped any Fallen that showed their face within range. After several years of securing the pilgrim crossroads, it became well known as the safest route toward the City. Some years later, he had a brush with the Hive, and found himself prisoner under a torturous and experimenting Wizard. Infected with Darkness, and chained in his cell, he was visited by Xur who traded him his lucky strange coin pendant for a small vial of red glowing fluid that he said was an "Achylophage Symbiote". He said that it would eat away the Darkness inside of him, consume his nightmares, and leave him filled with light. Jorn accepted Xur's offer and, upon joining with the Symbiote, became something ...else. A being that feeds on Darkness, and consumes it to create light which can then be channeled into a weapon.[/spoiler] Awoken Warlock [spoiler]Some years after that, when Oryx showed up on the scene, and the Taken invaded the Cosmodrome, Jorn was scrambling about trying to survive the upheaval. Suddenly, he was spotted by Oryx who seized him. While Oryx cannot take guardians, Jorn is does not wield the Traveler's power, and is not able to make his own fate. Oryx takes him and thrusts him before the Darkness, but he is saved by his Symbiote. The Symbiote begins fighting back, devouring the Dark, and burning the area with light. Oryx's power casts him back out without taking full effect, but Jorn is still altered. He is changed into an Awoken and the Symbiote is changed as well.[/spoiler]
