A Cryptarch, or "Crypto-archaeologist" is the designation for an individual who studies the properties of encoded matter, known as Engrams. These individuals can unlock the patterns stored within Engrams, allowing for the item encoded within the pattern to be spontaneously created in a process known as "decoding". Certain Engrams are encrypted and may require the Cryptarch to attain a certain rank before he can decode them.
The Cryptarch encountered by players in Destiny is named Master Rahool and is located within the Tower's plaza.[1] Besides selling and decoding engrams, the cryptarch will also buy any House Banners the player is carrying.
