Osiris: Difference between revisions

A veteran of [[Six Fronts]], Osiris was a well respected warrior whose prowess at that battle convinced [[Saint-14]] to recommend him to the [[Speaker]] as [[Vanguard Commander]]. He had also served as the Speaker's apprentice for a time.<ref>'''Bungie (2015-5-19)''', ''Destiny: House of Wolves, PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, Item Description: [[Bond of the Exile]]''</ref> However, his desire for truth about the purpose of Guardians and the nature of [[Darkness]] drove him to madness. His theories were not only considered borderline blasphemous, but he was also diverting Guardians and resources away from protecting the City and refugees, and towards chasing legends and rumors, such as the [[Vault of Glass]]; it's implied that he was the one who inspired [[Kabr, the Legionless]] into going into the Vault.<ref name="Osiris">'''Bungie (2015-5-19)''', ''Destiny: House of Wolves, PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire/Allies#Osiris|Osiris]]''</ref> He studied the [[Hive]], in particular prophesying the coming of [[Oryx]], and is also rumored to have come "too close to understanding the [[Vex]]".<ref name="SOO">'''Bungie (2015-2-26)''', ''Destiny'', Activision Blizzard: [[Shrine of Oryx]] story mission</ref><ref name="TOTHL">'''Bungie (2015-2-26)''', ''Destiny'', Activision Blizzard: Tread of the Hezen Lords description</ref>  

His obsession with the nature of the Darkness and misuse of resources eventually drove the Speaker to exile him from The City after the [[Battle of Twilight Gap]]<ref>'''Bungie (2015-5-19)''', ''Destiny: House of Wolves, PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, Item Description: [[Mark of the Exile]]</ref>, as the Speaker believed he had become as obsessed with the Vex as [[Toland, the Shattered]] had with the Hive.<ref name="Osiris"/> He is described as having a cult of personality, and has a [[Cult of Osiris|number of disciples]], such as [[Brother Vance]], who attempt to see how far the [[Light]] can be bent before it can be broken.<ref>[https://www.bungie.net/en/event/houseofwolves#social-space_ '''Bungie.net''': House of Wolves]</ref> Osiris himself seems to have vanished, even from those who follow him, some claiming that he is at once "alive and dead."<ref name="Osiris"/>

The Disciples of Osiris hold a [[Crucible]] tournament in Osiris's honor called the [[Trials of Osiris]], where they seek to recruit the toughest [[Guardian]]s to their cause.
