Gertrude. I suppose he may have told Hamlet not to take revenge on Gertrude because the ghost still has affection for her, or because it would be particularly evil for a son to kill his mother, or because the ghost knows that Gertrude was not privy to Claudius's murder, and the murder is what he wants revenge for. Or some combination of these.

In hamlet Whom does the ghost look like?
The Ghost wears something different in every production. At least in the first scene, the text suggests that he should be wearing a suit of armour because of Horatio's description of the ghost to Hamlet, that he was armed "from cap a pe", which means from head to foot, and that he wore his beaver (his visor) up. Notwithstanding this, a number of productions do not have the ghost accoutred in this manner, either because suits of armour are expensive and hard to get, or they are clumsy and make it hard for the actor to act, or they don't match the period the director has chosen or any combination of the above.

Hamlet, who is forced to remain in his uncle's court while trying to plot his revenge, tests the ghost's statement by staging a play very similar to the murder, which confirms the king's guilt but also tips the king off to what Hamlet knows.
