'''Rasputin''' (also identified as '''AI-COM/RSPN'''<ref name= "GFR3">'''Bungie (2014-9-9)''', ''[[Destiny]] PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Allies/Rasputin#Ghost Fragment: Rasputin 3|Ghost Fragment: Rasputin 3]]''</ref> and '''the Tyrant'''<ref name= "GFOldRussia3">'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]], Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Places/Earth#Ghost Fragment: Old Russia 3|Ghost Fragment: Old Russia 3]]''</ref>) is a [[Warmind]] housed in the [[BrayTech Futurescape]] in the [[Hellas Basin]]. He was created during the [[Golden Age]]<ref name = "Beta">'''Bungie (2014-7-17)''', ''[[Destiny]]: Beta PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard.''</ref> and was believed to have been destroyed during the [[Collapse]] until the [[Iron Lords]] awoke his wrath.<ref>'''Bungie (2016-9-20)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[Rise of Iron]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Allies/Rasputin#Ghost_Fragment:_Rasputin_6|Ghost Fragment: Rasputin 6]]''</ref>

Rasputin was designed and built by the [[Clovis Bray (corporation)|Clovis Bray Exoscience Corporation]], one of the [[Golden Age]]'s greatest collections of scientists and engineers. He was designed to foresee potential threats to human civilization and to leverage military assets for its protection if the need arose.

First designed by [[M. Mihaylova|Dr. Mihaylova]], the experimental AI designated "R" was conceived as a safety AI for the ''[[Ares One]]'' mission to [[Mars]]; not only to simply run logistics, but to withhold secrets for the sake of preserving complacency.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/5/8)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Warmind (expansion)|Warmind]], Item Description: [[Mihaylova's Chosen Suit#Mihaylova's Instruments|Mihaylova's Instruments]]''</ref><ref>'''Bungie (2018/5/8)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Warmind (expansion)|Warmind]], Item Description: [[Mihaylova's Chosen Suit#Mihaylova's Choice|Mihaylova's Choice]]''</ref> In the time before launch, R learned to write its own code and created its own assessments of the project and crew.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/5/8)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Warmind (expansion)|Warmind]], Item Description: [[Mihaylova's Chosen Suit#Mihaylova's Triumph|Mihaylova's Instruments]]''</ref><ref>'''Bungie (2018/5/8)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Warmind (expansion)|Warmind]], Item Description: [[Mihaylova's Chosen Suit#Mihaylova's Tale|Mihaylova's Tale]]''</ref> R was even partially credited by the ''Ares One'' crew after their mission was hailed a success.<ref name="The Lie">'''Bungie (2018/5/8)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Warmind (expansion)|Warmind]], Item Description: [[Mihaylova's Chosen Suit#Mihaylova's Path|Mihaylova's Path]]''</ref>

After the mission, R was used mainly as an emergency response system for pre-Golden Age space stations; useful for running system diagnostics like checking oxygen and fuel.<ref>'''Bungie (2020/3/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Worthy]], Quest:[https://www.ishtar-collective.net/transcripts/quest-the-tyrant-the-lie?highlight=The+Lie The Tyrant, The Lie]''</ref>

By the [[Golden Age]], the corporation [[Clovis Bray (corporation)|Clovis Bray]] took the code of the safety AI and programmed it into an interplanetary defense system with sentience; becoming the most powerful military intelligence ever developed.<ref>[https://www.destinythegame.com/uk/en/expansion2 '''DestinyTheGame''': ''Expansion II - Warmind'']</ref> [[Ana Bray|Dr. Anastasia Bray]] was responsible for teaching Rasputin language, which she accomplished by uploading a massive compilation of human works of literature into his network.

{{Quote|I met [[Darkness|IT]] at the gate of the garden and I recall IT smiled at me before IT devoured the blossoms with black flame and pinned their names across the sky.

Rasputin was the one to first discover the coming of the [[Darkness]].<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]] PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies#Ghost_Fragment:_Darkness|Ghost Fragment: Darkness]]''</ref> At that time, Rasputin's original core programming was to protect humanity. However, every action he had taken to that point had either failed or was statistically predicted to have a 100% probability of failure. Once it became clear that no conceivable action could be taken to fulfill his core programming, he implemented a protocol known as MIDNIGHT EXIGENT and reconfigured his core programming to that of long term survival, abandoning his previous function and going dark, while simultaneously ordering all remaining forces at his disposal to do the same.<ref name= "GFR3"/>

Unknown to the other Warminds, however, Rasputin had made his own preparations, known as the "ABHORRENT IMPERATIVE." If humanity was threatened with extinction, and that the Traveler attempted to leave, Rasputin would open fire with his most powerful weapons to immobilize the Traveler and thereby coerce it into a "pseudoaltruistic" defensive action. In effect, the Traveler would be forced to protect humanity if it wanted to survive. Rasputin would avoid culpability for such an attack by initiating it through a series of proxies.<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Allies#Ghost_Fragment:_Rasputin_5|Ghost Fragment: Rasputin 5]]''</ref> Even before the Collapse, Rasputin had been discreetly stockpiling such weapons in the Cosmodrome, though some human operators suspected Rasputin's involvement.<ref name= "GFOldRussia3"/>

Rasputin attempted to contain potentially dangerous data about the Darkness that was discovered by Dr.[[Shanice Pell]] at the [[New Pacific Arcology]] on [[Titan (moon)|Titan]]. It dispatched an [[Exo]] team led by [[Morgan-2]] to contain the data by taking Pell and her staff into custody along with their research.<ref>'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Shadowkeep]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Lore]]: [[Lore:Last_Days_on_Kraken_Mare#Faces_Like_Shields|Last Days on Kraken Mare - Faces Like Shields]]''</ref> However, Administrator [[Mia van der Venne]] believed Rasputin was overstepping its authority by denying the scientists a choice about what to do with the data and subtly warned Pell to evacuate alongside the rest of the moon's population as the Darkness closed in. Unable to contain Pell's discovery peacefully, Rasputin destroyed the ship carrying the scientists with a [[Warsat]], utilizing the TWILIGHT EXIGENT protocol to justify lethal force on humans.<ref>'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Shadowkeep]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Lore]]: [[Lore:Last_Days_on_Kraken_Mare#Kalki.27s_Burning_Sword.2C_Part_II|Last Days on Kraken Mare - Kalki's Burning Sword, Part II]]''</ref>

During the Collapse, the [[Worm God]] [[Xol, Will of the Thousands]], accompanied by his herald [[Nokris]] and their revenant [[Grasp of Nokris|followers]] attempted to conquer Mars by burrowing deep into the planet's crust to corrupt its core. In response, Rasputin initiated the "SIBERIAN ENTROPY" protocol, which flash-froze the entire [[Hellas Basin]] landscape in a matter of days and trapped the [[Hive]] and Xol beneath it.

Rasputin left an active [[Seraphim Vault|presence]] on Earth and disconnected from the Mindlab on Mars. Having remained dormant during the [[Dark Age]], he was alerted to an asset gone rogue: "SIDDHARTHA GOLEM" having been resurrected by a [[Ghost]] to become a Light-bearer named [[Felwinter]]. Enraged at the loss of his "son" to the [[Light]], Rasputin sent falling [[Warsat]]s and armies of militarized [[frame]]s to terminate the now-Risen Exo, but all failed to kill Felwinter. It soon laid a trap promising Felwinter and the [[Iron Lords]] [[SIVA]], a powerful nanotechnology capable of disassembling matter and reconstituting it into almost any desired form.

Unfortunately, despite Lord [[Felwinter]]'s attempts to reason with him, Rasputin immediately activated all of its defensive measures against the Iron Lords including SIVA. By then, Rasputin had programmed SIVA to kill not only Felwinter, but the other Iron Lords as collateral.<ref name=" GFR6"/> Realizing that they had been arrogant and that SIVA posed a significant threat to the world, the Iron Lords fought back. Hundreds of the Iron Wolves perished in the battle for the [[Plaguelands]], with the eight of the founding ten Iron Lords sacrificing themselves to seal SIVA within its replication chamber.<ref>'''Bungie (2016-9-20)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[Rise of Iron]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[King of the Mountain]]''</ref> Only [[Saladin Forge]] and [[Efrideet]] survived.

In recent times, the [[Fallen]] and [[Guardian]]s discovered Rasputin was still alive and protecting something valuable in the Cosmodrome. After a communications array at the [[Terrestrial Complex]] was reactivated by the Guardians, Rasputin was able to reconnect with the old interplanetary defense network, resuming control of [[Warsat]]s and [[Skyshock|ground installations]] across the system and launching a series of orbital strikes against the [[Vex]] and [[Cabal]] on [[Mars]]. Rasputin's attacks proved so debilitating to the Cabal that [[Valus Ta'aurc]] himself ordered the [[Ice Reapers]] be released to track Rasputin.<ref>'''Bungie (2015-9-15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Allies#Ghost_Fragment:_Rasputin_2|Ghost Fragment: Rasputin 2]]''</ref>

Rasputin has resisted any recent attempts by the [[City]] to parlay, even going so far as to dismember a scouting team sent by the [[Vanguard]].<ref>'''Bungie (2015-9-15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard [[Fallen S.A.B.E.R.]].</ref> Rasputin is later encountered on Mars within the [[Dust Palace]], attempting to protect a broken AI related to the Warmind of Mars from the invading Cabal. The AI is ultimately lost after a long battle with the [[Psion Flayers]].<ref>'''Bungie (2014-9-9)''', ''[[Destiny]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Dust Palace (strike)]]''</ref>

Since awakening, Rasputin has faced a number of direct threats to himself. [[Omnigul]] and the [[Spawn of Crota]] accessed the bunker through unknown means and attacked Rasputin, either to destroy him or corrupt him for their own purposes, but were thwarted by the Guardians.<ref>'''Bungie (2014-12-9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Dark Below]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard [[Siege of the Warmind]].</ref> Later, during the [[Taken War]], a group of [[Taken]] also penetrated Rasputin's bunker to prevent the Guardian from obtaining Golden Age stealth technology; while they did not damage or corrupt Rasputin, they had ample opportunity to do so.<ref>'''Bungie (2015-9-15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[The Promethean Code]]</ref> The bunker was breached a third time when the [[Fallen]] attempted to hijack Rasputin's systems using the modified [[Shank]] [[S.A.B.E.R.-2]], seeking to bypass the Warmind's security protocols and take control of his orbital weapon systems. Though S.A.B.E.R.-2 was ultimately destroyed, Rasputin again had to be rescued through the efforts of Guardians.<ref>'''Bungie (2015-9-15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard [[Fallen S.A.B.E.R.]].</ref>

Conceding that his bunker's defenses had failed too many times, Rasputin triggered the IKELOS subroutine, an initiative to provide advanced weaponry to the Guardians to aid them against the forces of the [[Darkness]]. The end result of IKELOS was the [[Sleeper Simulant]], a heavy [[fusion rifle]] with a unique core based on obsolete DVALIN FORGE fusion rifles that the Warminds had armed humanity with during the onset of the Collapse. The Sleeper Simulant represented a successful melding of Golden Age technology with contemporary designs and [[Banshee-44]]'s gunsmithing expertise.

===Post Red War===

[[File:Rasputinpic1.jpg|thumb|right|300px|Entrance to Rasputin Facility]]

Soon after the Traveler's awakening after the [[Red War]], the ice caps on Mars began to thaw. Detecting evidence of [[Hive|non-native organic chitin]] near its core among the rising temperatures, Rasputin assumed control of Mars' atmospheric defenses and invoked the AURORA PALISADE protocol to defend itself, crashing warsats into the surface of Mars.<ref name="Narrative"/>

Rasputin soon came under siege from the Hive once again, but this time at his central core facility in Hellas Basin. Making matters worse, his [[Grasp of Nokris|attackers]] were led by the Hive god [[Nokris]], a son of [[Oryx]], and [[Xol, Will of the Thousands]], one of the Hive's gargantuan [[Worm]] Gods. Unable to adequately defend himself against such a massive threat, Rasputin accepted the assistance of Ana Bray and the Guardian, granting them the use of the powerful [[Valkyrie]] javelin and other Golden Age weaponry.  

Following the several cycles of the curse in the [[Dreaming City]], [[Petra Venj]] sent telemetry to Rasputin for analysis and comparison.

[[file:OsirisRasputin.jpeg|thumb|300px|right|Osiris confronting Rasputin]]

More than two years after Xol's destruction, Rasputin was confronted by the former [[Warlock]] [[Vanguard]] [[Osiris]], who derided the Warmind as "old man" and called him out as a traitor for turning his back against humanity during the [[Collapse]] and a murderer who slaughtered the [[Iron Lords]] in the hundreds during the [[Dark Age]]. Knowing the coming arrival of the [[Pyramids]] from his predictions within the [[Infinite Forest]], Osiris called to question Rasputin's allegiance in the upcoming battle between [[Light]] and [[Darkness]]. In response, Rasputin gives Osiris coordinates, highlighting an anomalous signal near the edge of the Sol System, which satisfies the former exile enough to leave and investigate.

[[File:ZavalaRasputin.jpg|thumb|right|300px|Rasputin showing Zavala the incoming threat]]

After the events at the [[Sundial]], the [[Red Legion]], led by [[Amtec]], who escaped the fate of her fellow Psion Flayer sisters, disabled the engines of [[The Almighty]] and sent it on a collision course towards the [[Last City]]. The [[Guardian]]s, with little choice, then seeks help from the ancient [[Warmind]], and are tasked with reactivating Rasputin's arsenal to find a way to stop the Almighty from careening into the Last City.

After conversing with Ana Bray and a very reluctant Zavala, the Guardian interacts with Rasputin directly to ask for his cooperation. The ancient Warmind agrees to aid the Guardians in finding a way to stop the Almighty by rearming his systems. Firstly, he has the Guardian head to a secret bunker in the EDZ, which requires manual access for Rasputin to make a connection. Traveling to the dead zone, the Guardian, Ana, and Zavala are able to clear the bunker of Fallen pillagers and make a connection with Rasputin, restarting the bunker and allowing the Warmind to forge weaponry for the Guardians. Further, Rasputin has Guardians defend Seraphim Towers being constructed throughout the system from raiding Fallen and Cabal.

As the Guardians work to activate the Seraph Bunker on Io and connect it to Rasputin's mainframe, Rasputin has a confrontation with the Vanguard Commander. Zavala questions the ancient machine in his sincerity of understanding the stakes, which Rasputin answers by showing Zavala of how close the Darkness is to the Solar System and of his past, having survived the Collapse. Finally coming to an understanding with Zavala, the Titan Vanguard vows that once ''The Almighty'' has been broken, he agrees to work with Rasputin, granting the Warmind whatever resources the Last City has in battling the coming Darkness. In addition, Rasputin begins to send his combat frames on missions to secure "valuable assets" in the form of sleeper nodes.

[[File:RasputinFelwinter.gif|thumb|right|300px|Rasputin reveals his secret]]

Merely days before The Almighty collided into the Last City, the Guardians succeeded in activating and rearming Rasputin's Seraph Bunkers, allowing the Warmind to deploy his countermeasure against the super vessel. The Guardians return to the Tower to bear witness to Rasputin's countermeasure. In full view of the Tower's denizens, countless warsats bombard The Almighty for a full hour before making a critical hit to the ships core, sending the ship into a spectacular explosion, reducing the Red Legion's crown jewel into burning rubble that crash lands into the mountains outside of the Last City.

[[File:Rasputinshutdown.gif|thumb|right|300px|Rasputin shuts down]]

Several days after the Almighty's destruction, the fleet of mysterious [[Pyramids|Pyramid Ships]] push into the system, with one ship breaking off to go to [[Io]]. With Ana's assistance, Rasputin uses his Warsat Network around the moon of Jupiter to try shooting the vessel down. Sadly, his countermeasures have no effect, and the Pyramid responds by completely disabling the Warmind and his systems, leaving the Guardians to fend the fleet for themselves. Ana managed to transfer Rasputin into an [[Engram]] with the help of her Ghost, [[Jinju]], though the Warmind's integrity was in doubt.<ref>'''Bungie (2020/6/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of Arrivals]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Lore:Duress_and_Egress#Ana:_Frayed|Duress and Egress]]''</ref>

With the Guardian's help, Ana discovered a remnant of Rasputin cycling through the buffer of his systems, though she was unsure how to safely extract it.<ref>'''Bungie (2020/6/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of Arrivals]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard'', [[Exodus (Quest)]]''</ref>

==Rebuilding the Warmind==

After Osiris was awakened by the power of the reliquaries, he experienced visions of a [[Neomuna|city]] on [[Neptune]]. After being told there was nothing there by [[Ikora]] and her Hidden, he resolved to ask Rasputin what he knew regarding this city. Learning that he was still disabled and that Ana had made no progress in repairing him, Osiris suggested asking her grandfather, [[Clovis Bray]], to try and fix him. After battling through Xivu Arath’s [[Wrathborn]] on Europa, they reach the AI and ask him to help repair Rasputin. Out of a need for legacy and self preservation, Clovis agrees and inserts himself into Rasputins experimental exo frame. He explains to Ana and Osiris that they must gather Rasputins sub minds and inject them into his core in order to fully fix him.

'''Understanding of the Light'''<br>

Rasputin first refers to The [[Traveler]] as "the Gardener", alluding to its role in nurturing civilization.<ref>[https://www.ishtar-collective.net/cards/ghost-fragment-mysteries?highlight=titanomach Ghost Fragment: Mysteries]</ref> However Rasputin grew cautious of the Traveler as it came from somewhere unknown. Due to this Rasputin began to question its motives and whether the Traveler could bring any foreign dangers with it.  

Hating the possibility of risks, he devised a contingency plan that would be kept secret and no other human or AI system could access for the sake of protecting humanity. His plan was if the Traveler showed any signs of betrayal or attempts to flee, Rasputin would prevent this as he believed he was morally justified to protect humanity.

Rasputin was the one to first discover the coming of the Darkness which he termed ''"IT"''.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]] PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies#Ghost_Fragment:_Darkness|Ghost Fragment: Darkness]]''</ref> At the time, Rasputin's original core programming was to protect humanity. To be allowed to be this, he was designed to be stronger than the enemies of Earth and to survive anything that was thrown at him.

When Rasputin detected a faint signal on the outskirts of our Solar System, he jumped into action. Unable to identify the source or type, he believed there was evidence to suggest there were traces of dark matter. Upon further analysis of multiple findings, he postulated that ''"IT"'' had a structured intelligence and purpose and flagged it as not operating by the laws of cause and effect. Using the minimal data that he had, he concluded that ''"IT"'' was hostile and capable of an interplanetary extinction event. He activated the correct protocols and sent messages to the other Warminds to prepare for defensive actions.

As ''"IT"'' entered our Solar System, he commanded the Warminds to stop the Darkness and protect all humans. The Warminds fought against the Darkness and one by one, began to fall. Realizing he could do nothing to stop it, Rasputin had to make a choice: to fight against the Darkness, or survive. Once it became clear that no conceivable action could be taken to fulfill his core programming, he implemented a protocol known as MIDNIGHT EXIGENT and reconfigured his core programming to that of long term survival, abandoning his previous function and going dark, while simultaneously ordering all remaining forces at his disposal to do the same.

*The [[Grimoire: Allies#Ghost_Fragment:_Mysteries|Ghost Fragment: Mysteries]] appears to be written from the perspective of Rasputin. Though heavily laden with metaphor, it appears to be a fractured chronicle of his encounter with the [[Darkness]], his fruitless attempts to overcome (or even resist) it, and his fateful decision to abandon his primary function in favor of survival (a tactic which he claims to have learned from his enemy).
