Ice Reapers: Difference between revisions

The '''Ice Reapers''' are a [[Cabal]] detachment of elite [[Psion]]s led by a council of [[Kolar, Psion Flayer|powerful]] [[Numoc, Psion Flayer|Psion]] [[Vatch, Psion Flayer|Flayers]].<ref name="Palace">'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]] - [[Dust Palace (strike)|Dust Palace]]''</ref>  

The Ice Reapers are among the more diminutive but powerful Cabal detachments deployed to [[Mars]]; they are even speculated by a majority of the [[Warlock]] orders to have moved [[Phobos]] from its natural orbit to its current position as a potential kinetic orbital weapon.<ref name="PF">'''Bungie (2015/1/23)''', ''[[Destiny]] - [[Grimoire:Enemies/Cabal Command|Cabal Command]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Cabal Command#The Psion Flayers|The Psion Flayers]]''</ref>  

When [[Rasputin]] had unleashed an orbital bombardment of [[Warsat]]s on both [[Cabal]] and [[Vex]] sides during a battle, [[Valus Ta'aurc]] immediately ordered the Flayers to locate the source of the [[Warmind]]'s transmissions.<ref name="Rasputin 2">'''Bungie (2015/12/09)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Dark Below]] - [[Grimoire:Allies/Rasputin|Rasputin]]: [[Grimoire:Allies/Rasputin#Ghost Fragment: Rasputin 2|Ghost Fragment: Rasputin 2]]''</ref> The Cabal deployed a coalition of [[Sand Eaters]] and [[Siege Dancers]] to secure the [[Dust Palace]] as the Ice Reapers made attempts to hack into Rasputin from the central AI's cortex. Their presence, coupled with some resistance from the [[Vex]], would alert the [[Hunter]] [[Vanguard]] [[Cayde-6]] and bring a fireteam of [[Guardians]] to retake the Dust Palace. The [[Siege Dancers]], aided by a group of Psion Operants, would halt the Guardians' advance temporarily by overriding the building's security protocols. This gave time for the Flayers, having located to [[The Cortex]] on top of the skyscraper, to penetrate the Warmind's defenses and infiltrate Rasputin's mind network. Their success was instead reversed due to intervention by the Guardian's Ghost as the Flayers were forced out of the cortex and then killed by the ensuing fireteam.<ref name="Palace"/>     

At some point, three other Flayers from the Ice Reapers had defected to join the [[Broken Legion]] under [[Val Aru'un]], to which they appear in the [[Prison of Elders]] when Aru'un is executed by Guardians.<ref>'''Bungie (2016/4/12)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[April Update]] - [[Challenge of the Elders]]''</ref>
