'''Cayde-6''' was an [[Exo]] [[Guardian]] and former [[Vanguard]] for the [[Hunter]] class who was partnered with the [[Ghost]] [[Sundance]]. A famous explorer and adventurer in his younger days, Cayde ran with a pack of Hunters that included [[Shiro-4]] and [[Andal Brask]], his predecessor as Hunter Vanguard. After Andal was murdered by [[Taniks, the Scarred]], whom Cayde was believed to have previously killed, Cayde took up his friend's post in the [[Tower]] despite his hatred of being stuck doing paperwork and unable to go on missions. | '''Cayde-6''' was an [[Exo]] [[Guardian]] and former [[Vanguard]] for the [[Hunter]] class who was partnered with the [[Ghost]] [[Sundance]].

As the Hunter Vanguard, Cayde often looked the other way or facilitated Guardians who operated outside of normal operating procedures. Despite this, he became a close friend of both his fellow Vanguards, Commander [[Zavala]] and [[Ikora Rey]]. During the [[Taken War]] he assisted [[The Guardian]] in infiltrating the [[Dreadnaught]] to defeat [[Oryx, the Taken King]] and later fought beside them on the frontlines of the [[Red War]]. His experiences in the Red War led Cayde to leave his duties in [[The Last City]] frequently to return to field missions, leading to his demise in the [[Prison of Elders]] at the hands of [[Uldren Sov]] and the [[Scorn]] [[Baron]]s. | As the Hunter Vanguard, Cayde often looked the other way or facilitated Guardians who operated outside of normal operating procedures.

The spirit of [[Riven]], disguised as [[Mara Sov]], tricked [[Crow]] into making a spur-of-the-moment wish resulting in Cayde's resurrection within [[The Pale Heart]] as a being made of pure [[Light]]. With no Ghost and only a Light-forged replica of the [[Ace of Spades]], Cayde assisted [[The Guardian]] and his old Vanguard comrades in the final battle against [[The Witness]]. After [[The Ghost|Ghost]] perished dealing a decisive blow against the Witness, Cayde sacrificed the Light maintaining his body to resurrect him, ensuring the Guardian's future and choosing to die on his own terms. | |||

Both Zavala and Ikora | Both Zavala and Ikora were saddened and enraged at the loss of their fireteam comrade and friend. Ikora swore that Uldren Sov must pay for his crimes and proposed a plan to storm the Reef to kill Uldren. Zavala, however, while equal in his grief, felt that the Last City and the Guardians didn't have the strength to conduct such an assault and believed that they must focus on their people and not on vengeance, thereby declaring the Reef off-limits despite Ikora's objections. Against Zavala's wishes, however, the Guardian vowed to go to the Reef and kill Uldren on their own. | ||
The Guardian, unsupported by the Vanguard, made wary alliances and faced many struggles to hunt down Uldren and his Barons. Nonetheless, the Guardian succeeded in killing the Scorned Barons, dismantling their operations within the [[Tangled Shore]] and made their way to Uldren within a mysterious Awoken structure, [[the Watchtower]]. After a dangerous battle with a monstrous Taken [[Voice of Riven|creature]], Uldren would be left weakened and at the mercy of the Guardian, who recovered the ''Ace of Spades,'' and Petra Venj. Though Petra claimed to know what Cayde would do with Uldren, the rogue prince asked the Guardian what they thought the Hunter Vanguard would do. After a moment's hesitation, the Guardian leveled the Ace of Spades at Uldren's head and nodded in affirmation to Uldren's question. | |||
Regardless of whether the Guardian or Petra had shot Uldren, the Scorn's plots had been ruined and the Hunter Vanguard would be avenged. However, a sombre and uncertain mood blanketed the denizens of the Tower as the Hunters were now without a leader and Zavala felt that Uldren's death would have consequences in the future. Ikora, while grateful to the Guardians for avenging her friend and comrade, also felt uncertain of what the future had in store. | |||
[[Banshee-44]] would work with the Guardian to restore the Ace of Spades to its former glory and would be glad that the Guardian now wielded it instead of the traitorous prince. While repairing the weapon, the Guardian would look to retrieve parts from Cayde's caches on [[Titan (moon)|Titan]], finding that he'd left messages for different people he thought would kill him. Shortly after giving the Ace of Spades to the Guardian, Banshee asked where Cayde was, implying he had already forgotten about him due to his memory. | |||
In the years after Cayde's death, the remaining Vanguard members would consider who would take Cayde's place as Hunter Vanguard. Unfortunately, most Hunter candidates who could fill the void left behind by Cayde had departed the City in anticipation of being chosen. | |||
Cayde's various caches would remain hidden on Earth and potentially beyond. One of these caches in the [[Cosmodrome Wall]] would be found by the Guardian and contained components needed to build the [[Riskrunner]] Exotic SMG, along with a picture of [[Colonel]] and several packages of Ramen. | |||
