Lakshmi-2 is an Exo within the Tower. Lakshmi-2 is the representative of Future War Cult, and sells a variety of FWC-branded armor, weapons, and emblems intended for use in the Crucible.

Lakshmi was active as early as the Dark Age, before the founding of the City. She was present when the House of Devils burnt London.

Personality

Lakshmi-2 is talkative enough about war stories and the accomplishments of Future War Cult, but is otherwise tight-lipped about the inner workings of her faction. She views the coming of the Darkness as an inevitable conflict, one that cannot be simply avoided, as Dead Orbit wishes. She is always pondering aloud about the nature of time, fate, and the existence of alternate timelines, particularly ones without war.
