Somewhere among their forces, the Cabal hide one of their most powerful weapons, the Psion Flayers. The Extent of their ability is still uncharted, but Cryptarch and Warlock fears have led the Vanguard to classify them as a serious threat.

Psion Flayers are a class of highly powerful Cabal Psions, having first debuted as a detachment within the Dust Palace Strike,[1] and Challenge of the Elders. Each one has a different type of shield, making it difficult to engage them all at once.[2]

Overview

The Psion Flayers are orders of magnitude more powerful than the average Psion. Their psychic attacks have far more range, and were able to fight and win against Rasputin in the Dust Palace. If Warlock speculation is true, they are even responsible for Phobos' current position over Mars, and are waiting to unleash it as a weapon.[3]

First seen among a mysterious legion known as the Ice Reapers, the pair of Psion Flayers, Kolar, Numoc, and Vatch, were called in by Valus Ta'aurc with the goal of locating and neutralizing Rasputin after an orbital bombardment from his Warsats decimated most of the Valus' troops.[4] Seen in the Dust Palace, the trio were almost successful in infiltrating Rasputin's systems until they were disrupted and killed by a Guardian Fireteam[5].

Another pair was seen protecting Val Aru'un in the Prison of Elders, where they serve the ambitious Val and the Broken Legion.

The Red Legion also employ Psion Flayers, with one active detachment unleashed against the Vex on Mercury with the goal of infiltrating the Infinite Forest[6]. Meanwhile, another triplet group of Flayers emerged 3 years after the Red War with the intent of utilizing the Sundial to rewrite history in the favor of the Cabal, a victory where the Red Legion subverts the Solar System.[7]

Trivia

  • According to Osiris, the Psion Flayers perceive time differently than Guardians, apparently being non-linear to them.
