Clovis Bray I: Difference between revisions

Toward the end of his life, Bray embarked on a mission to [[Europa]], both to catalogue the moon's native life-forms and to investigate a source of power alluded to in messages from the [[Anomaly (artifact)|K1 anomaly]]. The [[paracausality|paracausal]] force empowering the artifact, which Bray referred to as "[[Darkness|Clarity]]", had promised Bray the secret to immortality - a secret which Bray was desperate to obtain.

"Clarity Control" instructed Bray to build a [[Vex]] gate, which Bray accomplished by stealing a Vex from the [[Ishtar Collective]]. The completed gate led to a [[2082 Volantis|blue giant star system]], in which the star had been surrounded by orbiting particle accelerators, statites and other Vex megastructures in order to both prolong its life and use it to generate heavy elements via fusion.  

By then, the Vex infection had spread to Bray himself, corrupting his body at the molecular level. In order to save himself, Bray subjected himself to automated surgery, with the goal of replacing most of his organs with cloned replicas grown from pigs. However, during the operation, a Vex-defecting copy of [[Maya Sundaresh]] subverted the surgical machinery, ordering it to gruesomely vivisect Bray and awaken him after completion. He was rescued by Elisabeth, who had uploaded herself into an Exo body and destroyed the corrupted medical frames and the Vex unit, and was reassembled.

As his body continued to be corrupted by the Vex, Bray chose to upload himself into an exomind format, cleansing himself of the infection once and for all. The Vex copy of Maya continued to torment him even as he was in the process of uploading, controlling his motor functions to scrawl taunting messages in his journal as Bray recorded his last words.

===Reawakening===

Many weeks later, Clovis would learn that Rasputin had sacrificed himself in destroying the Warsat Network to prevent them from being used against Traveler after Eramis had gained control over the network. Disappointed in that the Guardians "threw away" one of humanity's greatest creations, Clovis would continue to taunt the Guardians saying that had he fulfilled his goal, then he could've protected them and humanity. This claim however, would be angerly countered by Elsie, who stated that he was actually playing into the enemy's hands once again like with the Witness and the Vex and yet instead of learning his lesson, he never suffered the consequences and nearly made things worse. Elsie ends the conversation stating that she should've let him die on the operating table.

==Personality and traits==

{{Quote|Clovis may have been a bastard, but a brilliant one.|[[Exo Stranger]].}}

According to his son [[Clovis Bray II]], Bray hated maps due to the fact that they ended, which he felt was not the way the universe worked. He viewed the work of his corporation as expanding a map that could never be completed. Bray also viewed everyone he worked with, including his employees and family, as collaborators rather than subordinates.<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Places/Mars#Ghost_Fragment:_Clovis_Bray|Ghost Fragment: Clovis Bray]]''</ref>
