According to [[Rasputin]], the Veil is connected to the [[the Traveler|Traveler]], and upon entering close proximity to the Veil, [[Ghost]] mentions that it gives him a feeling which reminds him of the Traveler. However, it is elsewhere described as an "artifact of [[Darkness]]"<ref>https://www.ishtar-collective.net/entries/roving?highlight=artifact+of+darkness</ref>, and its presence in Neomuna suffuses the city with [[Strand]] energy - Strand being an elemental manifestation of the Darkness. Furthermore, the [[Radial Mast]] is stated by Ghost to resonate with [[Light]], and Ghost himself is later used by the [[the Witness|Witness]] to interface with the Veil. Collectively, these facts indicate that the Veil is  closely tied to the Darkness, but that it may also have some relationship to the Light and the Traveler.

According to audio logs left by Chioma Esi, the Veil registers as an "electromagnetic anomaly," possessing no mass while having a tangible physical surface; she once described it as "like a thesis statement to the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Von_Neumann%E2%80%93Wigner_interpretation Von Neumann-Wigner Hypothesis],"<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xoxf0LFYtNk</ref> seemingly suggesting that it points to an interaction between consciousness and quantum mechanics.

The origin and true nature of the Veil remain unclear; it is unknown if it was created by the Traveler or accompanied it when it arrived in the Sol System, and its precise connection to the Traveler has yet to be revealed. [[Nezarec]] describes it as the "the sapid secret of the Witness' first victims," suggesting that it may be connected to the Witness' origins.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyLore/comments/11qj6xw/raid_spoilers_the_origins_of_the_veil/</ref> It has long been of interest to the [[Vex]] of the [[Sol Divisive]], who attempted to create a replica of the Veil in the [[Black Garden]] - the equally mysterious entity known as the [[Black Heart]].
