Archaeological findings indicate that the Future War Cult has existed as early as the late [[Golden Age]].<ref name = "Destiny">'''Bungie (2014-9-9)''', ''Destiny, PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Allies#Future_War_Cult|Future War Cult]]''</ref> | Archaeological findings indicate that the Future War Cult has existed as early as the late [[Golden Age]].<ref name = "Destiny">'''Bungie (2014-9-9)''', ''Destiny, PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Allies#Future_War_Cult|Future War Cult]]''</ref> It was founded by Dr. [[Maya Sundaresh]] and her team in Lhasa, as a result of their experiments on a [[Vex]]-inspired [[The Device|mind-forking device]] used to look into the future. This device caused its users to become mentally unstable, and they began worshipping the device as a god.<ref>'''Bungie (2015-9-17)''', ''Destiny: The Taken King, PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies#Ghost Fragment: Vex 5|Ghost Fragment: Vex 5]]''</ref> The modern FWC recovered the design of the device and rebuilt it within the safety of [[The Last City]]. Use of the device was abandoned when most users went insane, reporting different timelines where the Darkness was victorious or the City had fallen. Despite this, information gained through use of the device formed the basis of the FWC's beliefs; a fundamental ideal being the need to prepare for the inevitable wars of the future.<ref name = "Destiny"/> | ||
The Future War Cult was originally an outsider faction, but when the [[Concordat]] faction fell from grace and was banished from [[the City]], the Future War Cult was selected to replace it in the [[Consensus]] and was granted access to the [[Tower]]. The Consensus felt that the Cult's philosophy was more interesting than dangerous, and its focus on combat would both attract former Concordat members and aid in the Guardians' effort to restore the City's territory.<ref>'''Bungie (2014-9-9)''', ''Destiny, PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Places#Ghost Fragment: The City Age|Ghost Fragment: The City]]''</ref> | The Future War Cult was originally an outsider faction, but when the [[Concordat]] faction fell from grace and was banished from [[the City]], the Future War Cult was selected to replace it in the [[Consensus]] and was granted access to the [[Tower]].

During [[Season of the Splicer]], FWC leader [[Lakshmi-2]] publicly denounced [[Ikora Rey]] and the [[Vanguard]] for allowing the [[Eliksni]] of [[House of Light|House Light]] to live within the city walls. She claimed she had witnessed the Fallen in a future where the [[Last City]] had been destroyed, and they could not be trusted. After her concerns were dismissed, Lakshmi planned to stage a coup against the [[Vanguard]] alongside the leader of [[New Monarchy]] and Dead Orbit. When the [[Hive]] god [[Savathûn, the Witch Queen|Savathûn]], under the guise of [[Osiris]], gifted Lakshmi and the FWC [[Vex]] portal technology, they intended on using it to exterminate the Fallen. A portal was then opened in the [[Eliksni Quarter]], allowing the Vex to launch a direct attack on the City. The incursion was soon thwarted by the [[Vanguard]] and it was discovered that Lakshmi had died in the attack. | During [[Season of the Splicer]], FWC leader [[Lakshmi-2]] publicly denounced [[Ikora Rey]] and the [[Vanguard]] for allowing the [[Eliksni]] of [[House of Light|House Light]] to live within the city walls.
