'''Tevis Larsen'''<ref name="TTKQ">'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[The Taken King]], Activision Blizzard: [[The Taken King (Quest)]]''</ref> was a sly [[Hunter]] who had the rare gift of calling out to the [[Void]]. He was a friend of [[Cayde-6]], who described him as a "lying cheat". Apart from owing Cayde a large amount of [[Glimmer]], Tevis was a well respected and revered member of the [[Nightstalker]]s, a Hunter subclass which uses the Void to quickly dispatch enemy forces. He is also mentioned to have been good friends with Andal Brask and Shiro-4, as well as Cayde-6.
'''Tevis Larsen''' was a sly [[Hunter]] and a friend of Hunter Vanguard [[Cayde-6]], who described him as a "lying cheat". Apart from owing Cayde a large amount of [[Glimmer]], Tevis was a well-respected and revered member of the [[Nightstalker]]s, a Hunter subclass which uses the [[Void]] to dispatch enemy forces quickly.

==Biography==
==Biography==
At some point, Tevis encountered the [[Golden Age]] AI [[Rasputin]], which he claimed that the [[Warmind]] was not an ally of the [[Last City]] nor cared if [[Humanity]] and the [[Traveler]] survived according to its own words.<ref name="TTKQ">'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]] - [[The Taken King (Quest)|The Taken King]]: [https://www.ishtar-collective.net/items/the-promethean-code The Promethean Code]''</ref>
At some point Tevis encountered [[Rasputin]], and claimed that the Warmind told him he was not an ally of the [[Last City]] and did not care if humanity and the [[Traveler]] survived.<ref name="TTKQ" />
 
During the [[Taken War]], Telvis had the desire to traverse the [[Black Garden]] after hearing of the [[Awoken]] found a way in. He and his [[Ghost]] would both scout at the [[Ishtar Sink]] on [[Venus]] until both were separated on opposite sides of a [[Warp Gate]] at the [[Endless Steps]], leaving his [[Ghost]] to fend for himself while Tevis was left stranded at the depths of the garden. Meanwhile, the [[Hunter]] [[Vanguard]] [[Cayde-6]] would send forth [[the Guardian]] to locate Tevis as he stepped through the gate and hailed him on their comms, only to have arrived too late as the [[Vex]] destroyed his Ghost and left Tevis with little [[Light]] on his [[Shadowshot|Dusk Bow]] to find himself with.<ref name=TNST1>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]] - [[A Ranger Lost]]''</ref>   
 
Despite the Guardian's best efforts to reach his location, Tevis was ultimately killed by the [[Sol Divisive]] and found dead in the [[Black Garden]]. Upon finding his corpse, Cayde-6 instructs the Guardian to pick up his [[Light]]-infused Dusk Bow, unlocking the Nightstalker subclass before tasking them to kill all of the Vex in the vicinity for his fallen friend.<ref name=TNST2>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]] - [[A Ranger Found]]''</ref>


However, echoes of Tevis' consciousness would continue to persist within the [[Darkness]] of the Black Garden; where they reached the Guardian through the Light they had previously taken from him. Despite having been untethered from the [[Void]], Telvis offered his advice about the nature of the [[Vex]] whilst drawing parallels between [[Lightbearer]]s and the Sol Divisive as both parties draw their power from a greater source (being [[the Traveler]] and the [[Black Heart]] respectively). He also issued a final warning to not overbear themselves with questions lest they would drown in the confusion of them.<ref>'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Shadowkeep]] - [[Lore:Aspect|Aspect]]: [[Lore:Aspect#Atelic|Atelic]]''</ref>
Tevis was found dead in the [[Black Garden]] after his [[Ghost]] was trapped on the other side of a [[Warp Gate]], leaving him to fend for himself, and was ultimately killed by the [[Vex]]. After finding the Nightstalker's corpse, the player gains the Nightstalker subclass (and the accompanying ability Shadowshot) from him in the story mission [[A Ranger Lost]], before Cayde-6 tasks the player to kill all of the Vex in vengeance for his friend's death.<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[The Taken King]], Activision Blizzard: [[A Ranger Found]] mission''</ref>

*''"Rasputin isn't an ally. You hear me, blood? You find yourself thinking that, you shut it down. He may not be against us, but he doesn't care if you live, if the City lives, if the Traveler lives. Trust me. He told me himself."'' <ref name="TTKQ" />
