Rasputin is a Warmind from Russia. He was created during the Collapse[1] and was believed to have been destroyed during the event. The Fallen and Guardians have discovered he is still alive, and protecting something valuable in the Cosmodrome.[2]
Quotes
The following are quotes from the mission The Warmind; when hacking the two antennas, Russian dialogue is overheard. It is believed that this is Rasputin speaking.
- "Safety protocol 8-6-3. Hostile entities discovered."
- "There's no one to blame, it is not their fault or ours. It is the misfortune of being born when the whole world is dying."
- "There is no immortality of soul, thus there is no greater good. Therefore everything is permitted." (A reference to The Brothers Karamazov)
- "Count up this, define the probability of that."
- "They are but meat pressed in the mouth of the shell."
- "If, as they say, the coming events cast their shadows ahead of time, then the past events cannot but leave their reflections behind them."
- "The whole natural order stands as evidence of a progressive movement toward an elevated state of being."[3]
Trivia
- Rasputin was a Russian priest and mystic closely associated with the Romanov family, the last Tsars of Imperial Russia.
- At the Tower, Xander 99-40 may occasionally say "Suspended bounty, Rasputin, no claimants." This implies that Rasputin is attempting to sponsor bounties for Guardians, or as a humorous aside suggesting that someone placed a bounty on Rasputin himself but no one stepped forward to carry it out.
- At the Forgotten Shore, a somewhat hidden zone named Bunker RAS-2 can be found in the basement of a ruined structure atop a prominent hill. This zone is protected by three level 20 enemies: two Hallowed Knights and one Celebrant of Oryx. The room they guard contains several black, rectangular capsules seemingly jammed into the walls and stacks of Kapton-sealed crates. One capsule is emblazoned with the Cyrillic letters "ФБ", and an inactive access console stands to its right. The bunker's name, "RAS-2", implies a connection with Rasputin, while its purpose in the game remains unknown.
