Seraphs

The Seven Seraphs were a peacekeeping force that were active during the Golden Age and worked closely with the Warmind Rasputin; each member previously given a Warmind Khanjali as proof of trust with the latter. They had known to operate from several planetary combat platforms across the system which were built and stored by the Warmind himself. Eventually, all of the Seraphs were wiped out during the Collapse, leaving nothing of their legacy until the Guardians joined forces with Rasputin.

Trivia

The logo of Seven Seraphs

• Seven Seraphs was previously one of five factions revealed during the pre-alpha phase of Destiny's development, alongside New Monarchy, Dead Orbit, Future War Cult, and Osiris.
• According to Rob Adams, Bungie's Lead World Artist for Destiny, Seven Seraphs was a program overseen by the Cosmodrome's "higher-ups", who determined where to construct Rasputin's bunker. This implies Seven Seraphs may be related to the Warminds.
• The number seven in the faction's name is a nod to Bungie's recurring use of the number 7.
• Seraphs, also known as seraphim, are celestial beings, and variants of the angels in Jewish and Christian faiths. Seraphs are typically described as six winged beings who surround God's throne. Seraph literally means 'burning one' in Hebrew.
• The plural of "Seraph" is "Seraphim", this may be where the Seraphim Vault got its name.
