Despite their omnipresence, the scope of their power over the world of "normal" matter is limited, and so they primarily act through a handful of agents, emissaries, and associates. They appear to be capable of freely manipulating the dark matter that composes themselves. They are also able to manipulate and even synthesize regular matter under certain circumstances, such as through the portals of [[Cocytus]]. | Despite their omnipresence, the scope of their power over the world of "normal" matter is limited, and so they primarily act through a handful of agents, emissaries, and associates.

At present, the Nine are divided into two factions. One faction, consisting of five members, seeks to study the [[Light]] and use it for their own purposes, and is responsible for sending [[Xûr, Agent of the Nine]] and [[Orin|The Emissary]] to interact with the [[Guardians]]. The other four seek to free themselves from their dependence on matter-based life and the Light, and to that end have experimented with creating their own realms through spacetime engineering and the creation of dark-matter based black holes to center their consciousnesses around. | |||
