Biography

Executor of New Monarchy

"If the Speaker won't take charge of the Consensus, then we'll have to do it ourselves."

— Executor Hideo

Hideo claims to have grown up starving before becoming a Plasteel manufacturer who made generous donations to the people of the City. He eventually joined New Monarchy and rose through its ranks to become an Executors, a high-ranking position with some legal authority and charged with searching for a worthy candidate to become the ruler of the Last City. Additionally, Hideo was appointed as New Monarchy's representative on the Consensus. He has a dim view of his faction's rivals, calling Dead Orbit spineless and Future War Cult "all secrets and nonsense". He also isn't pleased with the Speaker's perceived inaction or Zavala's unwillingness to join him. Instead, he puts his faith in the City and the possibility of returning to the Golden Age.

Upon discovering Suraya Hawthorne stealing from one of New Monarchy's supply depots to distribute to unaligned citizens of the City, Hideo berated the young activist and dismissed her as worthless and nothing. In response, Hawthorne punched Hideo in the face and fled. The Executor subsequently visited the home of Devrim Kay and Marc, who were the guardians of Hawthorne, and declared she be punished harshly and that he would use his influence to ensure she was. Hideo's fury forced Hawthorne to live on the outskirts of the City for a time before she eventually departed to explore the world.

In the aftermath of the Taken War, Hideo came to fear that the extreme losses suffered by the Cabal at the hands of the Vanguard, Vex, and Hive would provoke a response from the Cabal Empire. He sent a field agent to Oryx's Dreadnaught to gauge the Cabal's remaining command structure. Despite the agents protest that such field work violated New Monarchy's tenants, his assessment agreed with Hideo's fears that the Cabal would respond aggressively to their defeats in the solar system.

A New Golden Age

"Yes, obviously we must all join hands to rebuild, Lakshmi and Jalaal included. But I never said I'd like it."

— Executor Hideo

Hideo's fears of a Cabal reprisal were justified, as the Red Legion, led by Dominus Ghaul, assaulted the Last City two years after the end of the Taken War. As refugees fled the City, Hideo used New Monarchy's resources to care for them and get them to safety during the Red War.

After the Last City was retaken from the Red Legion, Hideo met with the other members of the Consensus to discuss how to move forward with the death of the Speaker. When Zavala called the meeting to order, Hideo protested that only the Speaker could do so. Zavala and Ikora Rey noted that there were no bylaws regarding the choosing of a new Speaker and that they would have to write new ones. Hideo questioned if Zavala would take the Speaker's place as head of the Consensus in the meantime, but the Vanguard Commander told him that all the members of the Consensus would work as equals to govern the Last City.

After word reached the Consensus that Guardian Ariadne Gris had painted a dragon on her Sparrow, they summoned her for interrogation due to fears of Ahamkara worship. Ariadne denied having contact with the wish dragons, but Hideo demanded to know why she had one on her Sparrow. After she proclaimed that dragons were cool, Hideo grew angry and asked her to take the inquiry seriously. Cayde-6 intervened and asked Ariadne to play nice with Hideo, causing her to explain that she really did just think the design was cool and that not all dragons were Ahamkara.

At a later meeting of the Consensus, Hideo and the other members honored Callisto Yin of the Firebreak Order for having saved the Fire Victorious during the fall of the Last City. Hideo informed her that repairs to Firebreak Plaza would be done soon and that the relighting ceremony could happen the next week. However, Callisto informed the Consensus that the all members of the Firebreak Order had decided to carry a part of the Fire Victorious with them in the Ghosts in order spread the Last City's light throughout the solar system.
