Rohan: Difference between revisions

Like all Cloud Striders, Rohan became a Cloud Strider at the Sidereal, where he received an injection of nanomachines that augmented his physical abilities. He was mentored by [[Tramontane]], a senior Cloud Strider, who tasked him with keeping watch over the border between the [[Vex Network]] and the [[CloudArk]]. During this time, Rohan found a way into the [[Black Garden]], and witnessed the creation of the [[Black Heart]] by the [[Conceptual Mind]]; according to Rohan's notes, he determined that the Vex had been trying to create a copy of the [[The Veil|Veil]].<ref>'''Bungie (2023/2/28)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Lightfall]] - [[What Remains]]''</ref> He managed to escape the Garden and told the Neomuna city council about his experience, but the council chose not to take any action against the potential threat, a decision which Rohan later came to accept.<ref>'''Bungie (2023/2/28)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Lightfall]] - Item Description: [[Deterministic Chaos#Lore|Deterministic Chaos]]''</ref>

Eventually, Tramontane reached the end of her ten-year post-enhancement lifespan and succumbed to her augmentations,<ref>'''Bungie (2023/2/28)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Lightfall]] - Item Description: [[Abeyant Leap#Lore|Abeyant Leap]]''</ref> and Rohan was assigned to mentor Nimbus, a newly augmented Cloud Strider.<ref>'''Bungie (2023/2/28)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Lightfall]] - Item Description: [[Foremost Vimana#Lore|Foremost Vimana]]''</ref>

During the invasion of Neomuna by the Shadow Legion, Rohan and Nimbus encountered [[The Guardian|the Guardian]] and [[Osiris]], who had traveled to the city via Cabal drop pods launched from the ''[[Astaroth Rex II]]'' as it fell into Neptune's atmosphere.<ref>'''Bungie (2023/2/28)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Lightfall]] - [[First Contact]]''</ref> The two Cloud Striders assisted the Guardians in their efforts to stop Calus from reaching the [[the Veil|Veil]] and forming a link between it and the Traveler using the Radial Mast.

When Calus' forces managed to break into the Irkalla Complex and attempted to link the Radial Mast to the Veil, Rohan allowed the Guardian to pursue them by breaching the outer wall of the Complex with his Skyboard. After arriving at the Radial Mast, he attempted to interfere with the device's functioning and prevent it from forming the link but ended up becoming trapped inside it. After the Guardian fought off waves of Shadow Legion troops led by [[Val Bho'kaurl]], Rohan forced the device's casing open so that the Guardian could destroy it using Strand. Unfortunately, the Guardian was too exhausted from their recent use of Strand to summon it again, leaving Rohan with no choice but to destroy the device himself in the only way he could: by sacrificing himself in a self-detonation that was powerful enough to break the Radial Mast.<ref>'''Bungie (2023/2/28)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Lightfall]] - [[No Time Left]]''</ref>

After his sacrifice, Rohan's core was retrieved by the Guardian, who gave it to Nimbus for interment within the Hall of Heroes.<ref>'''Bungie (2023/2/28)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Lightfall]] - [https://youtu.be/7BLYLVaZVQ0?t=1430 Celebration]''</ref>
