The Black Armory was founded at the end of the Golden Age by three families: the French [[House of Meyrin]], the Norse Rasmussen Clan, and the Japanese Satou Tribe. Each family brought elements of their native heritage to the Armory's designs.

The Armory's precautions failed when the actual [[Collapse]] arrived; their superior firearms provided little protection against the [[Black Fleet]]'s onslaught. After an attack by monstrous minions of the Darkness, the group had to abandon their hideout and leave their Forges behind. Henriette's daughter Adelaide was severely injured in the attack, and Henriette reluctantly agreed to Yuki Satou's proposal to upload Adelaide's consciousness into an experimental [[Exo]] frame, thus creating Ada-1.<ref name="BAP 92">'''Bungie (2018/12/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[ | The Armory's precautions failed when the actual [[Collapse]] arrived; their superior firearms provided little protection against the [[Black Fleet]]'s onslaught.

Unfortunately, the unique weapons produced by Ada-1 turned out to be the group's bane in the post-[[Collapse]] world, as they attracted multiple bandits and robbers, including some [[Risen]] proto-[[Warlord]]s. Eventually, every other member of the group perished with only Ada-1 remaining.<ref name="BAP final">'''Bungie (2018/12/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Black Armory (expansion)|Black Armory]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Lore:The Black Armory Papers|The Black Armory Papers]], Final Entry''</ref> She ended up hiding in the [[Last City]], remaining secretive and distrustful of any [[Lightbearer]]s, even the [[Guardian]]s. | ||

Following the end of the Red War, the fallen anarchist faction known as the Kell's Scourge sought out the Black Armory's technology for themselves. This led Ada-1 to reveal herself to the Guardians and request their aid in reclaiming the Black Armory's lost Forges and repelling the Scourge. | |||

In addition, the Black Armory possessed a large Vault which contained a large number of their weapons. To prevent their weapons from being misused, they went to great lengths to ensure their secrecy. However, when weapons and technology belonging to the Black Armory were reported stolen by the Kell's Scourge, Ada-1 reluctantly forms a partnership with the Guardians to ensure the safety of her foundry's forges and prevent the Fallen from finding the Vault. Ironically, the Vault is located in the Last City and it is where the Guardians face off against the Kell's Scourge and [[Insurrection Prime, Kell's Scourge|Insurrection Prime]] to prevent them from breaching the Vault. | In addition, the Black Armory possessed a large Vault which contained a large number of their weapons.
