In prehistory, long before the Psion species joined the Cabal, a group of exceptionally powerful Psions known as the God-Thoughts dominated the species with their psychic abilities. They destroyed the Y-goblet faith for seeing divinity in every common person. Its suppression was so brutal that while the faith survived to the present, its practitioners still feared discovery and worshiped only in secret.<ref>'''Bungie (2019/6/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of Opulence]], [[Lore:Confessions|Confessions]]: [[Lore:Confessions#Entry VIII|Entry VIII]]''</ref>

At some point in their history, the [[The Witness|Witness]] would send his [[Disciples of the Witness|Disciple]] [[Nezarec, Final God of Pain|Nezarec]] to shatter the Psion's faith and then become their guide to seek the "truth of the Darkness" so that they might see beyond the [[The Veil|Veil]]. The Witness' goal was to have Nezarec sow the seed of discord that would one day pay the way for their [[Final Shape|victory]], to show the Psions the power of the Veil that he possessed and to indoctrinate their race toward the same vision of the Darkness that they represented<ref name="Visitation">'''Bungie (2023/06/04)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[The Final Shape]] - [[The Visitation]]''</ref>.

The Psions would start to worship Nezarec as a deity and the tradition would continue among at least some of their race until relatively recently; the Psion [[Acasia]], who came to the Sol System at some point after the [[Collapse]] and joined the [[Acolytes of Nezarec]], lost her partner when he was abducted by a group of other Psions to be tortured as a sacrifice to Nezarec.<ref>''''Bungie (2023/2/28)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Lightfall]] - [[Breath of Detestation Suit#Boots of Detestation|Boots of Detestation]]''</ref>

Psions are bipedal humanoid beings, typically shorter than humans. They have hairless, veined heads, with a single eye surrounded by black trident-shaped creases. These eyes can be either blue or orange, and have distinctive Y-shaped pupils. Their eyes turn opaque grey once they die, with the pupil disappearing. Their faces have a series of holes above their mouths, possibly spiracles for breathing. Psions serving in the [[Red Legion]] have the tops of their heads exposed, even in harsh environments such as Mars, [[Io]], and [[Nessus]] without any visible damage. They have five fingers on each hand, though often their armor groups their middle and ring fingers into one.

Normally, they are significantly smaller than their Cabal superiors; however, some high-ranking Psions, like [[Kargen, the Technocrat]], [[Inotam, Oblivion's Triune]] and [[Sizmic, the Net-Desecrator]], are far larger than the average Psion and tower over their Cabal compatriots. In the case of Inotam, this is a product of psychic joining between multiple Psions, who are individually normally-sized.<ref>'''Bungie (2019/12/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of Dawn]], [[Weblore:Season of Dawn#Joining|Joining]]''</ref>.
