Tevis Larsen was a sly Hunter and a friend of Hunter Vanguard Cayde-6, who described him as a "lying cheat". Apart from owing Cayde a large amount of Glimmer, Tevis was a well-respected and revered member of the Nightstalkers, a Hunter subclass which uses the Void to dispatch enemy forces quickly. He is also mentioned to have been good friends with Andal Brask and Shiro-4, as well as Cayde-6.
Biography[edit]
At some point, Tevis encountered the Golden Age AI Rasputin, which he claimed that the Warmind was not an ally of the Last City nor cared if Humanity and the Traveler survived according to its own words.[1]
During the Taken War, Telvis had the desire to traverse the Black Garden after hearing of the Awoken found a way in. He and his Ghost would both scout at the Ishtar Sink on Venus until both were separated on opposite sides of a Warp Gate at the Endless Steps, leaving his Ghost to fend for himself while Tevis was left stranded at the depths of the garden. Meanwhile, the Hunter Vanguard Cayde-6 would send forth the Guardian to locate Tevis as he stepped through the gate and hailed him on their comms, only to have arrived too late as the Vex destroyed his Ghost and left Tevis with little Light on his Dusk Bow to find himself with.[2]
Despite the Guardian's best efforts to reach his location, Tevis was ultimately killed by the Sol Divisive and found dead in the Black Garden. Upon finding his corpse, Cayde-6 instructs the Guardian to pick up his Light-infused Dusk Bow, unlocking the Nightstalker subclass before tasking them to kill all of the Vex in the vicinity for his fallen friend.[3]
However, echoes of Tevis' consciousness would continue to persist within the Darkness of the Black Garden; where they reached the Guardian through the Light they had previously taken from him. Despite having been untethered from the Void, Telvis offered his advice about the nature of the Vex whilst drawing parallels between Lightbearers and the Sol Divisive as both parties draw their power from a greater source (being the Traveler and the Black Heart respectively). He also issued a final warning to not overbear themselves with questions lest they would drown in the confusion of them.[4]
