Who is the voice actor playing Nimbus?
Nimbus is played by Marin M. Miller. The actor broke the news on Lightfall’s release day, and fans were thrilled that a non-binary actor was playing a non-binary character. Miller shared some of their career on Twitter, talking about how they were always too big for high-paying lead roles, so they moved on to voice acting.
I have the honor to announce that I voice Nimbus in Destiny 2: Lightfall. I know the team pushed to have a non-binary actor in the role. Thank you for taking the risk with me. pic.twitter.com/ivHUlsXM6P

Those of you who have also played Hades may recognize them as the voices of Alecto, Athena and Tisiphone from that game. However, these are a far cry from their early acting jobs, having starred in various titles and even the Pokémon TV series.
Miller said Bungie lobbied for a non-binary actor to play Nimbus, and based on the community’s reaction, it certainly seems like a great move for both the developer and Miller. The actor adds that when they realized that Nimbus was over 10 feet tall and towered over the players, they were very happy. This is obviously because Miller’s height has caused them problems in the past, but in Destiny 2 it’s nothing more than an advantage.

Nimbus is a Cloud Strider on Neptune, a member of a group of Neptunian citizens who have undergone nanotechnology enhancements. This makes them tall, agile, and able to fight using advanced weaponry such as their celestial surfboards and awesome weapons. Only two Coud Striders can exist at a time, and Nimbus is the younger of the couple you meet in Destiny 2 and the one who guides you through the Lightfall campaign. Due to their shorter lifespan of around a decade, the other Cloud Strider, Rohan, will likely die soon, and Nimbus will become the eldest, having to teach the new recruit who joins them. Nimbus is smug, happy, and tells a lot of jokes. He’s a fun character to be around due to his positive energy, which makes any activity in Destiny 2 achievable despite the challenges ahead.
