'''Premier Lume''', formerly known as '''Bracus Lume, Coalition Ally''', is a former [[Cabal]] [[Legionary]] and [[Bracus]] of the [[Imperial Cabal]]. However, following the events on the Leviathan, he would defect from the Ascendency alongside several other deserters and the son of the leader of the [[Tex Mechanica]] [[Weapon Foundry]], believing that Caiatl had abandoned [[Torobatl]] for the [[Last City]]. With assistance from VI of the [[the Nine|Nine]] to grow their numbers and advance their technology beyond the current capabilities of the Cabal, the now-Premier Lume would lead their new [[Barant Imperium]] alongside [[Dredgen Bael]] in a mission to destroy the [[Guardian]]s and reclaim Torobatl.

==Biography==
An adolescent who had just entered military service, <ref name="PV">'''Bungie (2025/12/2)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Renegades]] - Item Description: [[Praxic Vestment#Lore|Praxic Vestment]]''</ref> Bracus Lume would twice accompany [[Empress Caiatl]] to the [[Leviathan's Underbelly|Underbelly]] of the [[Leviathan (ship)|Derelict Leviathan]] when she went in there to challenge the [[Nightmare of Dominus Ghaul]].<ref>'''Bungie (2022/5/24)''', ''Destiny 2: [[Season of the Haunted]] - [[Sever - Rage]]''</ref><ref>'''Bungie (2022/5/24)''', ''Destiny 2: Season of the Haunted - [[Sever - Resolve]]''</ref>

Sometime after, he would be critically wounded in an assault on [[Savathûn, the Witch Queen|Savathûn's]] [[Court of Savathûn|throne world]], having Hive shrapnel lodged in his abdomen. City [[Warlock]]s and and medical [[Frame]]s were unable to remove it, so Lume was assigned a wounded-in-action status and permanent discharge from the front lines.<ref name="PV"/>

Some time after, Lume would be assigned to a battle rifle platform to oversee a weapons trial. There, he would meet the son of a [[Tex Mechanica]] magnate, [[Dredgen Bael|Nazaire]], and act as his liason. The two would end up striking a friendship, with Lume telling him about the time of the Cabal before [[Emperor Calus|Calus']] reign and his dreams of liberation, rousing history and leading it forward.<ref>'''Bungie (2025/12/2)''', ''Destiny 2: Renegades - [[Lore]]:[[Lore:Sintering|Sintering]], [[Lore:Sintering#Entry 1: The Engine of History|Entry 1: The Engine of History]]''</ref> Lume would come to believe that Caiatl was putting [[Human]] interests before Cabal ones and she had been corrupted by the lies of the [[Guardian]]s to abandon any potential to reclaim [[Torobatl]] to instead settle for the [[Last City]].<ref name="Imperium">'''Bungie (2025/12/2)''', ''Destiny 2: Renegades - [[Imperium]]''</ref>

Prior to the [[Invasion of Neptune]], Lume would attempt multiple desertions.<ref name="PV"/> Ultimately, he would vanish alongside a squadron, several prototype Ascendancy technologies and the now [[Dredgen]] Bael. With assistance from VI of the [[The Nine|Nine]], who created a pocket of distorted time that allowed decades to pass in just three years, Lume was able to develop the stolen prototype technology into a completed and advanced state, as well as creating a massive army, flotilla and a new superweapon known as [[Nightfall Station]].<ref>'''Bungie (2025/12/2)''', ''Destiny 2: Renegades - [[Out in the Cold]]''</ref><ref>'''Bungie (2025/12/2)''', ''Destiny 2: Renegades - Lore:Sintering, [[Lore:Sintering#Entry 7: Only from Pain|Entry 7: Only from Pain]]''</ref>

Having grown to adulthood over that time, Lume -- now titling himself Premier Lume -- would return to Sol beside Dredgen Bael at the head of this Barant Imperium at some point prior to the [[Skirmish on Kepler|events]] on [[Kepler]], intent on showing the flaws and evil of the [[Guardian]]s and end their tyrannical rule over humanity and the Cabal.{{Citation needed}}

==Gameplay==
===Sever: Rage and Resolve===
Bracus Lume adorns armor similar in design to [[Blood Guard Legionary|Blood Guard Legionaries]], but dark-grey and blue in color, with a large, gold symbol emblazoned on their chest plate, and two crests on their back. Unlike their [[Red Legion]] counterparts, however, they lack a wrist blade and are mostly bare, except for some cloth wrapped around them. They come equipped with a [[Cabal Slug Shotgun]], typical of most Legionaries.

Lume can be found fighting alongside [[Val Parthus, Coalition Ally|Val Parthus]] within the Leviathan's Underbelly in the final two [[Sever]] [[Missions]]: [[Sever#Sever:_Rage_/_Sever:_Resolve|Rage]] and [[Sever#Sever:_Rage_/_Sever:_Resolve|Resolve]]. In both missions, you will run into them at the Engineering Bay after fighting through a few corridors packed with [[Loyalists]]. After you have reached the two Coalition Allies, you must assist them in clearing the bay of the incoming hordes of Cabal and [[Scorn]] enemies. Once they have all been eliminated, set down an amplifier in the [[Egregore]] matter so you and Caiatl's guards can push forward. After you drop down into the [[Ventilator]], you will meet up with [[Optus Ulios, Coalition Ally|Optus Ulios]]. The group will wait for the [[The Guardian|Guardian]] to lift the lockdown, lowering the energy barrier blocking the way and allowing them to push onward to Caiatl's position. In Resolve, large numbers of Scorn will spawn in the airshaft, attempting to stop you from making it to your objective, and Lume will again fight alongside you. Your allies will stop just short of the final boss arena, guarding the entrance while you take on the Nightmare of Ghaul. They will transmat away when the mission ends.

===Glory Beyond===
Premier Lume appears as the penultimate encounter of the final mission of the ''[[Renegades]]'' expansion, [[Glory Beyond]]. The Premier appears in the middle of the arena and is initially immune until the two [[Premier's Appointee]] [[Centurion]]s that appear at both of his sides are killed. Lume mostly fights identically to Centurions but without their rocket packs, though his handheld [[Projection Rifle]] also has a charge attack that fires several slugs at once. Once a third of his health is drained, Lume will activate both a personal shield around himself and a [[Cabal Shield]] that are tied to [[Nightfall Station]]'s firing mechanism. During this time, Nightfall Station also begins priming to fire, giving a thirty second timer before it fires and the Guardian automatically loses the encounter.

To disable this shield, Guardians must shoot all four of the [[Arc]] weak points on the wiring around within the shield. Destroying an active wire extends the timer by five seconds. Once all the wiring is destroyed, both shields will collapse and Lume will become enraged, resuming the fight. This also cancels Nightfall Station's countdown timer. Once he reaches his final third of his health, Lume once again activates his shielding and this time ties it to six wires that must be destroyed, along with priming Nightfall Station again. Destroying these wires leaves Lume vulnerable to damage until he reaches a tenth of his health where he activates his malfunctioning personal shields for just long enough to flee, completing the encounter.

Lume is reinforced by [[Legionary|Legionaries]], [[War Beast]]s, Centurions, and [[Psion]]s during this encounter.

==Trivia==
*The arena Premier Lume is fought in has a similar layout as the one [[Thumos, the Unbroken]] was fought in.
