{{quote|Ikora heads up a group called 'the Hidden.' They're a 'crack group of intelligence agents.' In other words, spies. I'm just glad she's on our side. |Ghost<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[Nothing Left but the Fall]]''</ref>}}
'''The Hidden''' are a group of [[Guardian]]s who work as deep-infiltration scouts for [[Ikora Rey]], unofficially becoming the [[Vanguard]]'s spy network. They work in secret, gathering intelligence on the activities of the [[Darkness]] and other enemies of the City.

==History==
{{Expand-section}}
===Transmission Incident===
A variety of technological mites were discovered within [[Freehold]], and began infecting Guardians. The [[Owl Sector]] contacted Ikora and the Hidden to see if they had any information on the mites. However, the Hidden had no prior experience to anything similar.<ref name="Glory">'''Bungie (2016/9/15)''', ''[[Owl Sector Records]] - [[Grimoire:Activities/Other Activities#Glory 2.1|Glory 2.1]]''</ref> Together, the Hidden and Owl Sector were unsuccessful in countering the mites armor overrides, resulting in the Vanguard deciding to set a quarantine.<ref>'''Bungie (2016/9/15)''', ''[[Owl Sector Records]] - [[Grimoire:Activities/Other Activities#Splendor 2.6|Splendor 2.6]]''</ref> After the amount of Guardians infected continued to increase, Ikora granted Acting Liaison [[Ramos]] full access to the Hidden. Working with the Owl Sector and [[Techeun]]s, a cure was developed.<ref name="Glory"/>

===Monitoring Eido===
Ikora wrote a report detailing an intercepted conversation between [[Eido]] and the [[Spider]] regarding [[Eramis]]. She noted that it took place over an encrypted connection at a terminal in the [[Botza District]], and the Spider's personal datapad. She commented that [[Mithrax]] should be informed to review security protocols to prevent external data breaches. She advised further monitoring of Eido's personal logs to prevent unauthorized contact with [[House of Salvation]]. Lastly she noted that agent [[EKS-443]] should be approached for greater context on non-verbal [[Eliksni]] communications.<ref>'''Bungie (2024/6/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Episode: Echoes]] - [[Faith-Keeper#Lore|Faith-Keeper]]''</ref>

==Quotes==
===Idle Enclave Dialogue===
{{Quote|You wanna be a Hidden agent? There's only a couple rules. Find thy self. Know thy self. Destroy thy self.}}

{{Quote|"Find thy self." It's not just keeping a diary. A Hidden operative is a puzzle, and that means knowing how other people piece you together.}}

{{Quote|"Know thy self" means knowing what you can do and what you won't do, and understanding the difference between "can't" and "don't want to".}}

{{Quote|"Destroy thy self" is the hardest. You need to change everything. How you think, how you fight… what you'll do to win. Dying doesn't sting as much.}}

{{Quote|I asked Eris Morn once if her Hive eyes cause her problems. She said, "these eyes came to me by need and blood. They are fate woven into flesh".}}

{{Quote|You'll want to talk to Ikora. She's the genius.}}

{{Quote|Ikora encourages the Hidden to pick up hobbies that hone critical thinking. A lot of us do board games, if you wanna join in.}}

{{Quote|I mean, yeah, "On Circles" starts out a little dry, but it really picked up for me in Volume 9 when she introduces para-tangents.}}

{{Quote|I don't want to make this awkward, but if it comes up, remind Ikora that we all still look up to her.}}

{{Quote|Ikora getting quiet again? It's not you, she does that on big cases, but she's still paying attention and she'll watch out for you.}}

{{Quote|Am I concerned that Mars's timeline is overcooked rotini? Sure, but now we can watch a slice of the Golden Age unfold.}}

{{Quote|Who doesn't get a little help working through their problems visually? Stare it in the eye! Demands answers! Maybe rough it up a little!}}

{{Quote|Get this: Aliah's working on a sensor algorithm to scrape hard drives inside the temporal anomalies. We could recover actual Golden Age data!}}

{{Quote|Mars is covered with temporal anomalies, right? So, what if we're assuming the wrong sequence of events?}}

{{Quote|No ETA on those gravitational wave sensors, but I think I've got a workaround!}}

{{Quote|I'm compiling as fast as I can, but I've still got telemetry coming in from seismic sensors. Report's gonna have to wait until morning.}}

{{Quote|Savathûn's always three steps ahead. It's like she's breaking out the Sandwiched Horse Defense, while we're still setting up the board.}}

{{Quote|Throne worlds, right? I mean, procedural matters suspended in a quantum superposition? Who does that?! Y'know, still so cool though.}}

{{Quote|Wouldn't hurt to keep notes of everything you see. Savathûn's throne world reflects her mind, so even tiny details might provide clues.}}

{{Quote|That throne world metal, Fundamental Osmium? Can you find any more? I think we can use it to kit-bash some Golden Age alloys.}}

{{Quote|In theory, all we need to do to solve this is eliminate the impossible, but then some people keep doing the impossible, don't they?}}

{{Quote|That little Hive Ghost… Fynch, right? I don't think he's got another agenda, but he's got something to prove maybe to you, maybe to himself.}}

{{Quote|I'm looking up anything I can on our rogue Hive Ghost Immaru, but the sneaky little bugger scrubbed a lot of his files.}}
