The Corrupted Puppeteer was an AI built by the Clovis Bray corporation using Vex technology, which Clovis Bray I intended as a programmable Vex Mind for observing their kind.[1] [2] It was originally confined aboard the Vesper Station, until debris from the Morning Star impacted the station and set it loose, enabling it to transfer itself into a Fallen Exo body.[3]
When Fallen refugees from the House of Salvation attempted to establish a community near the station and began building the Anomaly after mistakenly using its schematics for a Ether refinery, it began to hunt them down and assimilated their minds into its collective consciousness. With the Fallen under its command, it continued coordinating the construction of the Anomaly next to the Station as a communications relay, broadcasting messages into the cosmos beyond.[4] It was ultimately killed by the Guardian and their fireteam after they were sent by the Spider to investigate the station.[5]
The Corrupted Puppeteer serves as the final boss of the Vesper's Host Dungeon.[5]

Trivia
- The Exo body used by the Corrupted Puppeteer is identical in appearance to those used by Atraks-1, save for burn marks, loose wiring, a missing lower left hand and other damage to its facial structure; it is unknown if the two are actually related in some way.
- Unlike Atraks-1 in the Deep Stone Crypt Raid, when the Corrupted Puppeteer and its Broken Puppets are defeated, their physical bodies don't disappear. With the Puppets, they just collapse onto the ground, but in the Puppeteer's case, the wing-like objects on its back begin spinning uncontrollably until they collapse.

A control panel on a programmable Vex mind. If the programming jumped species once… I need time to run through the datasets you powered back up. Reassembling corrupted archives takes a great deal of processing."
- ^ Bungie (2024/10/8), Destiny 2: Episode: Revenant - Astraea: "This is why our work focused on the unbodied Mind. Dr. Bray thought there were types of Vex unseen on Europa. Powerful Vex he could learn from. The plan was that the Mind would build him a controlled window for observation. Tidy. Tight. Safe. He thought he could control a Vex mind so perfectly it would do everything he wanted."
- ^ Bungie (2024/10/8), Destiny 2: Episode: Revenant - Astraea: "Vesper Station was Dr. Bray’s lab, meant to house the experiments that might… interact poorly with other BrayTech work. Isolated and quarantined. From the debris field, I would guess the Morning Star taking a dive cracked that quarantine wide open."
