Headless One: Difference between revisions

Headless Ones first came to the attention of [[Vanguard]] forces in the [[Sol system]] in the year following the events surrounding the [[House of Salvation]] on Europa, during the [[Festival of the Lost]]. Glint, in his ever-present naivety and curiosity, sought to determine the veracity of their existence after hearing about them from a [[The Hidden|Hidden]] agent<ref>'''Bungie (2021/9/24)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Lost]] - [[Lore]]: [[Lore:Tales_of_the_Forgotten_—_Vol._1##Europa_-_1|Tales of the Forgotten: Europa - 1]]''</ref>. The unnamed Hidden agent had been recording Vex activity on the surface of Europa, encountering an unknown creature in Cadmus Ridge<ref>'''Bungie (2021/9/24)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Lost]] - [[Lore]]: [[Lore:Tales_of_the_Forgotten_—_Vol._1##Europa_-_4|Tales of the Forgotten: Europa - 4]]''</ref>.. This had the body of a Hive Knight, but inexplicably had a helmet, or head, resembling a pumpkin with a carved face. Three eyes, a big smile, and most curiously of all, bright purple flames belching out. The Hidden agent subsequently submitted themselves for psychiatric evaluation and seemed to be the subject of much ridicule afterwards thanks to this encounter. Despite the ridicule, they held steadfast to their beliefs, causing their agency of the Hidden to be revoked. Glint met the former agent in a Last City bar to interview them, hoping to obtain more information by asking about the creatures<ref>'''Bungie (2021/9/24)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Lost]] - [[Lore]]: [[Lore:Tales_of_the_Forgotten_—_Vol._1#Europa_-_9|Tales of the Forgotten: Europa - 9]]''</ref>. Upon naming them "Headless Ones", the drunken agent was incensed, and declared to the bar out loud that he definitely saw a being with a "big, smiling pumpkin head".
