'''''Nimbus''''' | '''Nimbus''' is the latest warrior of the [[Cloud Strider]]s, cybernetic defenders of the city of [[Neomuna]]. They also serve as the [[Destination]] [[vendor]] of the city and an active ally of the [[Guardian]]s and [[the Coalition]]. | ||
==Biography== | |||
===Joining the Cloud Striders=== | |||
Born Dara Danu, Nimbus volunteered to undergo augmentation at the [[Sidereal]] and join the ranks of the [[Cloud Strider|Cloud Striders]], training and fighting under the mentorship of [[Rohan]].<ref>'''Bungie (2023/2/28)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Lightfall]] - Item Description: [[Foremost Vimana#Lore|Foremost Vimana]]''</ref> At some point, the two sat together on the ledge of Neomuna's watchtower, and Nimbus asked Rohan if he thought he would have any regrets when his shortened lifespan as a Cloud Strider had expired; Rohan responded that he wasn't sure.<ref>'''Bungie (2023/2/28)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Lightfall]] - Item Description: [[Deterministic Chaos#Lore|Deterministic Chaos]]''</ref> | |||
===Invasion of Neptune=== | |||
{{Expand-section}} | |||
Nimbus and Rohan met the Guardian shortly after they and Osiris arrived in Neomuna. Together, the Guardians and Cloud Striders worked together to defend Neomuna from the [[Shadow Legion]] invasion. After Rohan sacrificed himself to destroy the [[Radial Mast]], Nimbus took the role of the primary defender of [[Neomuna]]. | |||
As Osiris and the Guardian sought to understand and master [[Strand]], Nimbus mentioned a similarity to a semi-mythical Neomuni concept called the "River of Souls," which led Osiris to a breakthrough in realizing that successfully wielding Strand required one to relinquish control over it. | |||
After the defeat of the Shadow Legion, Nimbus made the impulsive decision to follow the Guardian as they ventured into the [[Black Garden]] in search of the [[Conceptual Mind]], seeking to honor the memory of their fallen mentor but leaving Neomuna briefly undefended in the process. After being spoken to by Osiris and finding a [[Deterministic Chaos|weapon]] left behind by Rohan in the Garden years before, Nimbus was chastened and returned to Neomuna, leaving the Guardian to complete their mission alone.<ref>'''Bungie (2023/2/28)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Lightfall]] - [[What Remains]]''</ref> | |||
===Chioma Esi's Logs=== | |||

After months of work, Osiris and Nimbus realized the Witness was able to communicate through Ghosts because of the parallel connections between Light and Darkness. They speculated that Ghosts may be able to be use the connection against it.<ref>'''Bungie (2023/11/28)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Wish]] - [[Parting the Veil (Mission)|Parting the Veil]]''</ref> This insight would prove useful in harming and defeating the Witness.<ref>'''Bungie (2024/6/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[The Final Shape]] - [[Dissent]]''</ref><ref name="Excision">'''Bungie (2024/6/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[The Final Shape]] - [[Excision]]''</ref> | |||
===Preventing the Final Shape=== | |||
Nimbus joined the Coalition forces for the final stand against the Witness. The army attacked the Witness, severing its hold over the Traveler's Light and in a direct attack, struck at the Witness directly, unmaking it with a tremendous surge of Light. At last, the War against the Witness was over, with the Coalition and the people of the Last City rejoicing. Nimbus celebrated by having a feast with Caiatl, Osiris, and Saint-14.<ref name="Excision"/> | |||
==Personality and Traits== | |||
Being the 'rookie' of the two Cloud Striders, Nimbus is fun-loving and boisterous, often cracking witty remarks even in some dire circumstances. They are also highly confident in their fighting abilities, making them a little smug and a bit impatient, but nonetheless a loyal ally and dedicated defender of Neomuna. Nimbus also held their mentor, Rohan, in high esteem and was deeply saddened by his sacrifice and death. While they, at times, wondered if they could fill in the void he left behind, they nonetheless vowed to honor Rohan's memory. However, following Calus's defeat, Nimbus began to doubt their abilities and if they could be a worthy successor to Rohan, causing them to act recklessly as they aided the Guardian in infiltrating the Black Garden. Thanks to Osiris's guidance, however, Nimbus was able to regain their balance and focus on their duty as Neomuna's protector. | |||
Nimbus has shown little interest in debates or prolonged discussions, once telling [[The Guardian]] they mostly zoned out during a technical discussion with [[Osiris]]. | |||
When first meeting the Guardians, Nimbus admitted they had an outdated expectation on what to expect, as they have only ever heard stories of the Lightbearer [[Warlords]], half-expecting them to be sword and shield-wielding invaders. Despite this, Nimbus welcomed the Guardian as an ally in the fight against Calus and the Shadow Legion, though they did display a small bit of envy at the powers the Guardians have displayed. Likewise, they didn't object to the alliance the Guardians made with Empress Caiatl and welcomed her as an ally all the same, though she appeared annoyed with their casual manner. | |||
