The '''Black Heart''' is a fragment of [[Darkness]]<ref>[http://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2015/08/24/what-s-going-on-in-destiny-s-story-anyway.aspx?PostPageIndex=5" '''Gameinformer''': What’s Going On In Destiny’s Story, Anyway?]</ref> located in the [[Black Garden]]. 

==Overview==
The Black Heart may have arrived in the Black Garden sometime during the [[Collapse]].<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Allies/Legends_%26_Mysteries#Ghost_Fragment:_Mysteries|Mysteries]]''</ref> It is of central importance to the [[Vex]], who worship it as a god, even remaking themselves in its image.<ref name="Axis">'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Vex_Axis_Minds#Sol_Progeny|Sol Progeny]]''</ref> In the Garden, the Black heart appears as a massive, floating mass of chaotic fluid with energy emanating from it.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard''</ref> When in danger, the Heart summons its vessels, the [[Sol Progeny]], to defend itself.<ref name="Axis"/>

==History==
{{Quote|So... Think you can kill a god?"<br>"Don't think I have a choice.|Ghost and the Guardian}}
The Black Heart was seemingly destroyed when the three Sol Progeny were defeated by [[The Guardian]]. Its destruction helped light to return to the [[Traveler]], allowing it to finally begin healing.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard''</ref>

In a conversation with [[Commander Zavala]], [[Ikora Rey]] hypothesized that the Black Heart was a being so beyond comprehension that even the Vex saw no logical option other than worship it. However, the abomination was too weak to summon all three Sol Progeny at once, and the fact that it needed to summon them in the first place meant that it was vulnerable. Nonetheless, she asserted it must have been a mere portion of a greater power, probably even a fragment.<ref name="Axis"/>

Some time after the Heart's destruction, [[The Undying Mind]] attempted to restore it by reverting the Garden back to the darkness, but the [[Guardians]] were able to stop it before the Mind could complete its task.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/12/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: The Dark Below, PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard''</ref>

During the [[Taken War]], [[Oryx]] and his [[Taken]] also attempted to reawaken the Black Heart, but was foiled when the Guardian intervened.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/12/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: The Taken King, PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard''</ref>
