First off, title may be misleading. I understand that there are many of us who love(d) some characters more than Cayde, but we're strictly comparing Cayde and Crow here. If you love(d) someone other than Cayde, please share in the comments who they are, and why.
So I've been playing through the battlegrounds lately, and I've been listening to all the dialogue going on. I've been really enjoying Crow's little quips and jabs at Saladin and Osiris. And with that, I found that Crow is filling the void that was left by Cayde's absence.
Anyone relate? New favorite Hunter, anyone?

Best character? No. Most interesting and best growth? Yes. Uldren Sov was an asshole on a good day. Whereas The Crow has become something very much wiser and personable than Uldren ever was, and almost empathetic to a fault. I found a line from his Ghost to be very interesting and perhaps giving some insight into the nature of Guardians. The Crown was talking about some beings (I think it was the Scorn) being "lost"...only to have his Ghost chime in, "Sometimes, death is the only path to redemption." Suggesting Crow might be what Uldren would have been without all the toxic influences that plagued his life. His Sister. The Darkness. Ahamkara magic. But the best characters, imo, right now are Osiris and Amanda Holliday.
