| During the [[Golden Age]], the [[Warmind]] Rasputin executed a protocol designated SIDDARTHA GOLEM to gather information. Under this protocol, an Exo - named after the aformentioned protocol - was created and sent out into the world to interact with humans and relay information about topics such as behaviour, literature, and culture. However, the Exo was destroyed during [[Collapse|the Collapse]]. As Rasputin went dormant to evade the overwhelming might of the [[Pyramids]], the Exo's remains were abandoned in a ruined library for generations.
| |
|
| |
|
| During the [[Dark Age]], the SIDDARTHA GOLEM Exo was revived as a [[Guardian|Risen]] by a [[Felspring|Ghost]]. Initially distrustful of the small glowing drone, he ignored its urging to move to safety until the building when the library they were in came under fire. With no options, he followed the Ghost, who gave him the name "Felwinter" despite the newly risen exo's insistence it wasn't his name.<ref>'''Bungie (2017/8/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Winter's Guile]]''</ref> They escaped to another building and looked back to see a falling [[Warsat]] crush the library.
| | Felwinter was awoken by his ghost during the [[Dark Age]]. Felwinter started out as a Warlord, like so many of the first generations of Guardians. "Felwinter" was not his actual name, which he had forgotten, but an alias given to him by his Ghost.<ref>'''Bungie (2017/8/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Winter's Guile]]''</ref> Felwinter established his home on [[Felwinter Peak]] in [[Old Russia]] near the [[Cosmodrome]], and roamed his lands from the Aral Seas to Citan's Ridge, although his lands had no citizens living in them. Felwinter also spent time attempting to communicate with the [[Warmind]] [[Rasputin]], although the entity never answered, and learned of the existence of [[SIVA]]. While patrolling in the [[Mothyards]], Felwinter encountered the Iron Lord [[Timur]]. Rather than fight, Felwinter informed him of the existence of SIVA and joined the Iron Lords, donating his stronghold on Felwinter Peak to serve as their headquarters.<ref>'''Bungie (2016/20/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[Rise of Iron]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Places/Earth#Felwinter_Peak|Felwinter Peak]]''</ref> After the Iron Lords arrived, Felwinter removed his throne from the stronghold as a sign of his new loyalty. Believing that the Iron Lords, though flawed, would change the world, Felwinter was glad to join them in the effort to end the constant warfare so he would no longer have to sleep with his back against the wall and his [[Light]] at the ready.<ref name="Lord Felwinter"></ref> |

|
| Felwinter and his Ghost, which he later named [[Felspring]], learned to survive while addressing hostile aliens, but unlike other Risen, they also dealt with assault frames and Warsats sent after them for reasons they didn't know. Eventually, a chance meeting with a wandering Exo Risen pointed them toward Rasputin. To find out more about the Warmind, Felwinter tracked down a [[Seraph Bunker]], which responded to his presence and activated. Fed up with running from frames and falling Warsats, Felwinter decided to create a home base instead of always moving. Using a map he found in a Seraph Bunker, he climbed a mountain and found an old observatory. Unfortunately, a Warlord named [[Castor]] already controlled the mountain. The Exo was undeterred, and he threw Castor off the mountain and claimed it as his own. | | Unlike the others though, Felwinter was more brutal towards his enemies, not having their willingness to show mercy, but not completely merciless. One such Warlord, a [[Titan]] by the name of [[Citan]], learned that the hard way when Felwinter went to his domain to give him a chance to surrender peacefully and join the Lords as he had. Citan refused, and before he could get one hit in, Felwinter used the Void combined with combat training from [[Jolder]] to best him. Aware that Citan would never surrender, Felwinter used the Void one final time to break Citan's neck. While monologuing to his enemy's dead body, Felwinter expressed that despite their flaws, no one would stop the Iron Lords from creating peace in the world. Despite his desire to offer him a life with the Lords, and knowing they would consider sparing him, Felwinter knew Citan better, and refused to leave him standing. The moment his [[Ghost]] came out of hiding and revived him, Felwinter pulled out his [[Felwinter's Lie|shotgun]] and fired two shots, one to kill Citan a second time, the other to destroy his Ghost. |

| ===The Lie of Lord Felwinter===
| | Eventually, Felwinter and the Iron Lords helped establish the [[The Last City|Last City]] under the [[Traveler]]. At some point, Felwinter and Lord [[Nirwen]] took on a young Warlock named [[Osiris]] as their apprentice, although he did not join the Iron Lords.<ref>'''Bungie (2017/12/5)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Curse of Osiris]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Garden Progeny 1]]''</ref> |
| {{quote|So we can't. We can't tell anyone. You're something… totally new. Part Guardian, part Warmind. There's no one else like you. … I think that's why the Traveler sent me to you. But other people won't understand it. And Rasputin will never, ever stop coming after you. After us. Ever. So it's just us, Felwinter. Just you and me."|Felspring}}
| |
| A month after claiming his mountain, Felwinter ran into a woman named [[Aarthi]], who offered protection payment from the town at the mountain's base. Though he insisted he wasn't a Warlord, Aarthi kept bringing monthly offerings. During one such meeting, Aarthi told Felwinter that his knowledge of Golden Age tech could help humanity. She never came again after that, but her words stuck with him. Felwinter was motivated to find technology that could help humanity rebuild. He then began exploring every Seraph Bunker he could find, looking for weapons to help humanity defend itself until Felspring gave him a better idea. She theorized that the technology that allowed for the unprecedented expansion the Golden Age saw was fueled by the technology they could find and use now. During this time, he also tried to communicate with Rasputin, but he never answered. Felwinter's search turned up nothing useful until one expedition into a Seraph Bunker bore unexpected fruit. Felspring finds records of SIDDARTHA GOLEM protocol and its transfer to the [[Deep Stone Crypt]] in the past. Through the records, they realize that he is the Exo the protocol was transferred to. Felspring admonishes him to keep the truth a secret, knowing that telling everyone would make his life more dangerous.

| | Eventually the Lords ended the reign of the Warlords and established peace in the world. Seeking to restore civilization, the now great organization of the Lords of Iron sought out [[SIVA]], with [[Timur]] at the helm. Felwinter would occasionally travel with him in his search for leads<ref>''Destiny, PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Allies/Iron Lords#Lord Timur |Lord Timur]]''</ref>. When the search bore fruit, Felwinter was one of the many Iron Lords who went into the what would later be named the [[Plaguelands]].

Of all that went in, Felwinter was one of the eight to meet their end in the SIVA replication chamber, containing SIVA at the cost of their lives. |
| One day, while patrolling in the [[Mothyards]], Felwinter encountered the Iron Lord [[Timur]]. Rather than fight, Timur tells him of the existence of [[SIVA]] and its potential.

| At some point, a Risen named [[The Drifter (character)|Wu Ming]], climbed Felwinter Peak to speak to the Iron Lord. During the conversation, Wu Ming had concern over an Iron Lord known as [[Dryden]], as he had witnessed his actions in the village of [[Eaton]], in which he supplied the village with food in exchange to use their location as an ambush point for a group of Warlords. The battle between the Iron Lords and Warlords that followed ended in bloodshed on all sides, with civilian villagers killed, all of Dryden's fellow Iron Lords under his command killed and their Ghosts destroyed. In an act of vengeance, Dryden had done the same to the Warlords' Ghosts, breaking the Iron Decree. Though not visibly showing it, Felwinter was convinced by Wu Ming to take action against Lord Dryden, who referred to the former Warlord's ferocity and record of permanently killing other Risen. After dismissing Wu Ming from the peak, the Iron Lord requested his Ghost to call forth Lord Dryden to his presence and to prepare his Iron Banner arsenal.<ref name="LEIII">'''Bungie (2019/3/5)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Drifter]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Lore]]: [[Lore:The_Man_With_No_Name#Loose_Ends.2C_pt._III|Loose Ends, pt.

| Felwinter was more brutal with Warlords than his allies: not completely devoid of mercy but less inclined to show it. One such Warlord, a [[Titan (class)|Titan]] by the name of [[Citan]], learned that the hard way when Felwinter went to his domain to give him a chance to surrender peacefully and join the Lords as he had. Citan refused, and before he could get one hit in, Felwinter used the Void combined with combat training from [[Jolder]] to best him. Aware that Citan would never surrender, Felwinter used the Void one final time to break Citan's neck.

| Eventually, the Lords ended the reign of the Warlords and established peace in the world. After that, Timur threw himself into the search for SIVA, spearheading the Lords' efforts. In support, Felwinter would occasionally travel with him in his search for leads<ref>''Destiny, PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Allies/Iron Lords#Lord Timur |Lord Timur]]''</ref>, but he preferred to search alone to keep his connection to Rasputin secret. Eventually, their search bore fruit and they found the coordinates to [[Site 6]] in a Seraph Bunker. Though both he and Felspring doubted the intel - believing Rasputin gave it to them - they reported their findings to the rest of the Iron Lords. After getting the group on his side, he and many Iron Lords went into what would later be named the [[Plaguelands]]. When [[Rasputin]] responded, Felwinter attempted to communicate their peaceful intent to Rasputin but was rebuffed by him using [[Warsat|all]] [[Frame|his]] [[SIVA|defenses]] against them. Felwinter was one of the eight to make it to the SIVA replication chamber but was destroyed with the rest, containing SIVA at the cost of his life.

| When [[Saladin Forge|Saladin]] sends the [[Guardian]] into finish the job of halting the flow of SIVA, Felwinter, along with [[Remnant of Jolder|Jolder]] and [[Remnant of Gheleon|Gheleon]], had his armour and remains [[Remnant of Felwinter|warped]] by SIVA as a defensive measure. The Guardian, using a discarded [[Iron Battle Axe|Battleaxe]], destroyed the remnants and the [[Site 6|Replication Chamber]], putting the fallen Lords to a peaceful rest. | | When Saladin sends the [[Guardian]] in to finish the job of halting the flow of SIVA, Felwinter, along with [[Remnant of Jolder|Jolder]] and [[Remnant of Gheleon|Gheleon]], had his armor and remains [[Remnant of Felwinter|warped]] by SIVA as a defensive measure.
