*A fire team led by the famed Titan, Kabr the Legionless, lands on Venus and breaches the Vault of Glass, hoping to destroy whatever secrets the Vex have hidden there and return to the City in glory. The assault is a disaster, as Kabr's team encounter the Templar, whose impregnable shields and powerful weapons force the team deeper into the Vault of Glass. Here they encounter the Vex Gorgons which obliterate much of the remaining Guardians. Kabr himself is not killed but instead goes mad, becoming obsessed with the Vex that he slew, fashioning armor and weapons from their corpses. In the end Kabr does not die but is assimilated by the Vault. In his last act Kabr creates the Aegis, a weapon capable of piercing the Templars shields, so that future fire teams will not meet his fate.
