'''Eido''' is an [[Fallen|Eliksni]] Scribe of the [[House of Light]] and the adopted daughter of [[Mithrax, Kell of Light]].  Her namesake is [[Sjur Eido]], an [[Awoken]] [[Paladin]] and the late [[Queen's Wrath]].

Eido was found inside a ventilation shaft of a [[House of Devils]] skiff as Misraaks—then a [[Vandal]]—was clearing the battlefield alongside [[Sjur Eido]] and other [[Awoken]]. She was newly hatched, still covered in egg-molt. Misraaks freed her from the shaft and took her in.<ref>'''Bungie (2019/6/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of Opulence]], [[Truth]]''</ref>

Sometime later, the [[The Guardian|Guardian]] found a tattered note covered in Awoken script and took it to [[Petra Venj]] for decryption.<ref name="A Scrap of Paper">'''Bungie (2019/6/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of Opulence]], Item Description: [https://www.ishtar-collective.net/items/a-scrap-of-paper-2 A Scrap of Paper]''</ref> From it, they learned about a [[Truth|rocket launcher]] hidden somewhere for a "daughter of Light" to find<ref name="Hidden Between Realities" /> upon completing a set of trials, one of which would be "fighting alongside the chosen".<ref name="A Map Asunder">'''Bungie (2019/6/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of Opulence]], Item Description: [https://www.ishtar-collective.net/items/a-map-asunder A Map Asunder]''</ref> The Awoken script and references to Light pointed at Mithrax being the author of these notes.

Mithrax pushed a young Eido to train as a [[Splicers|Sacred Splicer]], wielding the [[Light]] through the [[Splicer Gauntlet]] to break into the [[Vex Network]], yet she never found the same affinity that her father did.  Using her father's connections with the Awoken, she eventually traveled to the [[Dreaming City]] and the [[Reef]], and trained to become a Scribe under the tutelage of the Awoken [[Techeun]]s.

During the [[Endless Night]], Eido journeyed with her father and other Fallen refugees of [[House of Light|House Light]], to the newly founded [[Eliksni Quarter]] of the [[Last City]]. There—under the safety of the [[The Traveler|Traveler]]—Eido served as a Scribe of House Light, documenting its history as well as recounting the history of the Fallen to the Guardian as they explored the district.

During the [[Search for Nezarec's Relics]], Eido took on a support role in the fight against [[Eramis, Kell of Darkness]]. Her expertise and interest in old technology and knowledge proved to be invaluable as she researched the artifacts of [[Nezarec, Final God of Pain|Nezarec]] that the Guardian plundered from the Old Crews. Additionally she tries to reason with Eramis, believing she isn't beyond convincing, and called for a "parley" (a traditional meeting among Eliksni, in which no weapons are to be used) with the Kell of Darkness to take place at a [[Neutral Asteroid|neutral spot]].  The transmission calling for this meeting was intercepted by the Guardian and Mithrax, who accompany Eido to the meeting.  It is here that Eramis told Eido of her father's former pirate ways and the truth of the artifacts they were searching for, alienating Eido further from her father.

 

Despite the rupture in their relationship, Eido continued to assist her father and the Guardian in their search for the artifacts of Nezarec. While searching a [[Pirate Hideouts|Pirate Hideout]] teeming with [[Lucent Brood|Lucent Hive]] for the last artifact, Eido attempted to retrieve the artifact without using violence, in an attempt to show Eramis the futility of the path she was going down.  Though Eido managed to grab the artifact, she left herself at the mercy of the Lucent Hive, and was only saved by the intervention of Eramis.  Mithrax (accompanied by the Guardian) entered the room not long after, and (against the protests of Eido) began dueling the Shipstealer.  Mithrax was able to best Eramis in combat, but refused to kill her, in a rejection of his violent past.  Eramis took the opportunity and fled.

At the end of the [[Battle of the War Gods]], as Eramis (at the behest of the [[The Witness|Witness]] and [[Xivu Arath, God of War|Xivu Arath]]) plans to use [[Rasputin]]'s [[Warsat]] network to fire upon the Traveler, Eido is with her father in the Eliksni Quarter, watching the Traveler leave the Earth's orbit. Eramis' plans were ultimately foiled by Rasputin, who heroically sacrificed himself to stop the Warsats from firing.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FjeNGkyEY2I Destiny 2: The Witch Queen - Season 19 Ending Cinematic]</ref>

 

Eido, with the help of the [[Ghost|Ghosts]] [[Glint]] and [[Immaru]], researched the [[Headless One]]s during the [[Festival of the Lost]], against the backdrop of the [[Clash of the Hive Gods]].  She plays a key role in ''[[Lore:Tales of the Forgotten — Vol. 3|Tales of the Forgotten - Vol. 3]]'', and has even been theorized to be the in-universe author of the lorebook, writing under the penname "[[Ithaaks]]".

 

 

During the ''Season of Plunder'', Eido is shown to be a deeply intelligent and adventurous person albeit a bit shy and reserved in her tactics. Unlike the [[Drifter]], Eido prefers to avoid direct confrontation and instead suggests tactical retreats and avoidance of enemies. She can be naïve but willing to learn and is shown to be becoming more aggressive and forward during the events of the season. Most notably, Eido is rather idealistic in wanting to better the lives of her people and reclaiming lost relics for her research. As a result, she disapproves of the Spider's more "entrepreneurial" nature as he tries to profit from their mission. Being the scribe to the House of Light, Eido takes great delight in learning all she can, whether it be something from her House's allies or that of her people and would be all too happy to inform others of her people's history. Eido has also shown that the Eliksni should have faith in the Light rather than in the Traveler itself, given it's history of abandoning civilizations and recently giving the Lucent Brood the powers of Lightbearers. At the same time, she heavily disproves of secrecy, wishing to learn all aspects of history, even if the truth is something she may not understand.

Later on, Mithrax would state that while Eido is curious and brave, she is ignorant of the more brutal aspects of the world, including the violence the Eliksni have committed. Her curiosity would be showcased in her efforts to learn the truth of her father's past, claiming it necessary to record the House of Light's past, even if it is against her father's wishes. This also shows Eido has a rebellious side, willing to defy or go around her father's back if it means to learn the truth and help the Guardian's efforts. Ultimately, though Eido may have had the best of intentions, her desire for the truth regarding her father's past and her belief that Eramis would see reason, drives a wedge in her relationship with Mithrax. Hearing the truth of her father's more brutal pirate past, and that he had actually known what the relics were, deeply wounded her. Though she would maintain her commitment to the House of Light and its alliance with the Guardians, she became more curt and angry in her tone, especially towards her father.
