Xûr's coming and going depends on the planetary alignments, as he hails from the [[Jovians]], a place beyond even the [[Reef]], past the asteroid belt, which the [[Guardian]]s have yet to adequately explore.

Xûr first appeared in the Tower after the end of the [[Great Ahamkara Hunt]]. [[Cryptarch]] [[Lavinia Garcia Umr Tawil]] speculated that the Nine had previously made use of the [[Ahamkara]] for their paracausal abilities, and had sent Xûr to interact with the Guardians for similar reasons.<ref>'''Bungie (2019/3/8)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Drifter]] | Xûr first appeared in the Tower after the end of the [[Great Ahamkara Hunt]].

Xûr was once confronted by the former Guardian [[Orin]], who was sent by [[Mara Sov]] to investigate the Nine's role in the disappearance of [[Sjur Eido]]. Xûr asked Orin to "forgive [[The Nine|them]]" while she crushed his windpipe and further interrogated him. After being freed from Orin's grasp, he reached into his robes to reveal a silver jar. Misinterpreting Xûr's actions as a sign of hostility, Orin struck the Agent in the chest with her war hammer, sending him flying, and breaking his spine. Xûr survived but acquired a permanently hunched posture due to the blow.<ref | Xûr was once confronted by the former Guardian [[Orin]], who was sent by [[Mara Sov]] to investigate the Nine's role in the disappearance of [[Sjur Eido]].

Since then, he still appears in one of his predefined spots, which is randomly selected among all base ''[[Destiny 2]]'' [[Destination]]s. As of [[Beyond Light]], this location is limited to the Tower, the [[European Dead Zone]], and [[Nessus]]. | Before [[Forsaken]], Xûr appeared either in a predefined spot within the that week's chosen [[Flashpoint]] [[Destination]], or else in the [[Tower (Destiny 2)|Tower]], if a DLC Destination was selected.
