'''Cayde-6''' was an [[Exo]] [[Guardian]] and former [[Vanguard]] for the [[Hunter]] class who was partnered with the [[Ghost]] [[Sundance]]. A famous explorer and adventurer in his younger days, Cayde ran with a pack of Hunters that included [[Shiro-4]] and [[Andal Brask]], his predecessor as Hunter Vanguard. After Andal was murdered by [[Taniks, the Scarred]], whom Cayde was believed to have previously killed, Cayde took up his friend's post in the [[Tower]] despite his hatred of being stuck doing paperwork and unable to go on missions. | '''Cayde-6''' was an [[Exo]] [[Guardian]] and former [[Vanguard]] for the [[Hunter]] class who was partnered with the [[Ghost]] [[Sundance]].

As the Hunter Vanguard, Cayde often looked the other way or facilitated Guardians who operated outside of normal operating procedures. Despite this, he became a close friend of both his fellow Vanguards, Commander [[Zavala]] and [[Ikora Rey]]. During the [[Taken War]] he assisted [[The Guardian]] in infiltrating the [[Dreadnaught]] to defeat [[Oryx, the Taken King]] and later fought beside them on the frontlines of the [[Red War]]. His experiences in the Red War led Cayde to leave his duties in [[The Last City]] frequently to return to field missions, leading to his demise in the [[Prison of Elders]] at the hands of [[Uldren Sov]] and the [[Scorn]] [[Baron]]s. | As the Hunter Vanguard, Cayde often looked the other way or facilitated Guardians who operated outside of normal operating procedures.

Both Zavala and Ikora | Both Zavala and Ikora are saddened and enraged at the loss of their fireteam comrade and friend. Ikora swears that Uldren Sov must pay for his crimes and proposes the plan to storm the Reef to kill Uldren. Zavala, however, while equal in his grief, feel that Last City and the Guardians do not have the strength to conduct such an assault. Thus, the Titan Vanguard believes that they must focus on their people and not on vengeance, thereby declaring the Reef off-limits, despite the Warlock Vanguard's objections. Against Zavala's wishes, however, the Guardian vows to go to the Reef and kill Uldren on their own. | ||
The | The Guardian, unsupported from the Vanguard, makes wary alliances and faces a lot of struggles to hunt down Uldren and his Barons. Nonetheless, the Guardian succeeds in taking out the Scorn Barons, dismantling their operations within the [[Tangled Shore]] and make their way to Uldren within a mysterious Awoken structure, the Watchtower. After a dangerous battle with a monstrous Taken Chimera creature, the [[Voice of Riven]], Uldren is left weakened and at the mercy of the Guardian, who recovered the ''Ace of Spades,'' and Petra Venj. Though Petra claims to know what Cayde would do with Uldren ready to be killed, the rogue prince asks the Guardian on what they think the Hunter Vanguard would do. After a moment's hesitation, the Guardian levels the Ace of Spades at Uldren's head and nods in affirmation to Uldren's question. The screen fades, and a gunshot signifies the end of the Reef Awoken traitor, avenging Cayde-6. | ||
Though Cayde's killer had been dealt with and the Scorn's plots have been ruined, a somber and uncertain mood as blanketed the denizens of the Tower, as the Hunters are without a leader and Zavala feels that Uldren's death will have consequences in the future. Ikora, while grateful to the Guardians for avenging her friend and comrade, also feels uncertain of what's in store in the future. | |||
[[Banshee-44]] works to restore the weapon to its former glory and is glad that the Guardian now wields it, instead of the traitorous prince. While repairing the weapon the guardian goes to retrieve part from Cayde's caches where he left messages titled for each person he thought would kill him. Shortly after giving the Ace of Spades to the Guardian, Banshee asks where Cayde is, implying he forgot about him due to his memory. | |||
Currently, the remaining Vanguard members are considering who will take Cayde's place as Hunter Vanguard. Unfortunately, however, most Hunter candidates who could fill the void left behind by Cayde departed in anticipation of being chosen. | |||
After Cayde's death in Forsaken's campaign, a small memorial plaque featuring a golden spade and a golden replica of [[Ace of Spades]] was installed on the floor near Zavala's location in the Tower and his photo was hung in his favourite spicy ramen shop. | |||
Cayde | Guardians would also later track down one of Cayde's stashes in the [[Cosmodrome Wall]], where he had stored several components the Guardian used to craft the [[Riskrunner]] Exotic SMG, along with a picture of [[Colonel]] and several packages of Ramen. | ||
