| '''Ignovun, Chosen of Caiatl''' was the commander of [[Empress Caiatl]]'s fleet and the strongest of her warriors. He was her Chosen champion to face [[The Guardian]] in one final [[Rite of Proving]] aboard the [[Imperial Land Tank]] [[Halphas Electus]] during the [[Clash of the Chosen]].

| ==Biography==
| |
| Before becoming Caiatl's Champion, Ignovun was part of the surviving exodus from [[Torobatl]] after its [[Fall of Torobatl|fall]] to [[Xivu Arath, God of War|Xivu Arath]] and served as the leader of her [[Imperial Cabal]] fleet.<ref>'''Bungie (2021/2/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Chosen]] - [[Armor|Armor lore]]: [[Mantle of Battle Harmony]]''</ref> He is heralded as Caiatl's greatest warrior and would be selected by the [[Cabal]] [[Cabal Emperor|Empress]] as her Champion to represent her to fight in a final [[Rite of Proving]] deep inside the [[Halphas Electus]] to determine the victor in a binding agreement between the Cabal Empire and the [[Vanguard]] of [[The Last City]].<ref>'''Bungie (2021/2/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Chosen]] - [[Lore]]: [[Lore:From the Front#VII._The_Imperial_Throne|From the Front VII. The Imperial Throne]]''</ref>

|
| A grand ceremony was held inside the [[Halphas Electus]] where every Legionnaire inside the tank had come to salute him for his promotion and anointing. Ignovun saw it as the appointment of his lifetime as he was given his weapon and its ammo, silver armor that shone in the light, and his helm crafted by the Psions that contained their "very will" that would allow him to harness Solar Psionic abilities. He would be told throughout the course of the ceremony his expectations and what he was fighting for - the control of [[Nessus]], vassalship of the Vanguard, and glorious honor of the Cabal. Yet upon the ceremony's end, when he was left alone in the arena, Ignovun felt doubt. He thought back to the [[Dominus]] of recent past and how [[Dominus Ghaul|he]] had reasoned the [[Light]] like any weapon upon an opponent could be [[Red War|disarmed]]. Ignovun thought him wrong, believing it was from death not the Light [[Guardian]]s drew their power. However, it was also then he mused on [[Ixel, the Far-Reaching]]'s ravings and came to some considerations he had not before. He realized the Vanguard must have mortality brought to them if the Cabal are to triumph over them.<ref>'''Bungie (2021/2/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Chosen]] - [[Weapons|Weapon lore]]: [[Threaded Needle]]''</ref>
| | ''Ignovun, Chosen of Caiatl'' is the strongest of Caiatl's warriors and was her chosen to face [[The Guardian]] in one final skirmish aboard a land tank called [[Halphas Electus]]. |
| | |
| Ignovun accepted his thinking would not save him, but reaffirmed that if the [[Guardians|"Smallmen"]] could face death, he can as well. He would confront the Guardians seven weeks later after the failed treaty. Humanity's [[The Guardian|Champion]] would storm the [[Imperial Land Tank]], facing [[Valus Ozysas]], countless [[Val]]s, [[Halphas Honorguard|Honorguard]], [[Goliath Tank|tanks]] and soldiers until reaching the arena where they would engage in ceremonial combat with Ignovun. Although he fought bravely and utilized his Solar Psionics and shield generators to even the fight with the Guardian, Ignovun fell after a glorious confrontation and thus made the Vanguard the victors in the Rite and the power to set the terms of an armistice with the Cabal Empire.<ref name="PG">'''Bungie (2021/2/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Chosen]] - [[Strike]]: [[Proving Ground]]''</ref>

| Ignovun fights like most Centurions before him, tending to stay back while firing his Bronto Cannon, then closing the gap with his jump pack to finish them off with a quake. However, occasionally Ignovun floats into the air and summons five Solar Seekers that track down and damage the enemy, almost guaranteeing death. Once every third of his health is drained, Ignovun will leap back onto his pedestal and summon an immunity shield alongside a [[Portable Cabal Shield]], requiring Guardians to face him in personal combat, or risk their lives to destroy his shield, forcing Ignovun back into the fray. All the while during his fight, every phase will alter the environment of the arena with barriers and pillars extending and retracting out of the floor. | | Ignovun fights like most Centurions before him, tending to stay back while firing his Slug Launcher, then closing the gap with his jump pack to finish them off with a temporal shockwave.

| *A common misconception is that Ignovun is female since he has tusks, however upon closer inspection these tusks are purely decorative and likely symbolize him being Caiatl's Champion. | | *A common misconception is that since Ignovun has tusks, tusks are not exclusive to female Cabal, however upon closer inspection these tusks are purely decorative. |
| *Ignovun shares some similarities with [[Thumos, the Unbroken]] in appearance, possessing the same frayed Crest backpiece albeit changed in color.
