Lakshmi was a refugee during the [[Dark Age]] and wandered across the world. During her wanderings she witnessed the rise and fall of thousands of would-be kings and saw hundreds of battles and conflicts including the [[House of Devils]] burning [[London]], an order of knights fighting the [[Darkness]] in [[Mumbai]], the siege of [[Tycho]], and saw the [[Hive]] at a place called Tranquility.<ref name="D1Q">''' Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Lakshmi-2]] Quotes''</ref> Caught in these brutal conflicts, Lakshmi was eventually saved by the [[Future War Cult]], who recruited her into their ranks.<ref>'''Bungie (2017/9/8)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Lakshmi-2]] Quotes''</ref> After being saved by the Cult, Lakshmi eventually arrived in [[The Last City]], although few knew her origins and found her sudden appearance abrupt.

With her role in | With her role in conspiring against the Vanguard and House of Light exposed, the Future War Cult was disbanded and it is learned that the other Factions fled the Last City during the chaos of the Vex's attack, bringing an end to the age of Factions. Lakshmi's efforts ultimately nearly brought catastrophe to the Last City, nearly being overwhelmed by a Vex invasion and almost murdering the innocent Eliksni of the House of Light but despite this tragedy, the Vanguard and House of Light reaffirm their alliance in making a better tomorrow, undoing Lakshmi's efforts in spreading fear towards the House of Light. However, in her broadcast before her death, Lakshmi claimed she was aided by Osiris, leading the Vanguard to launch an investigation on the Warlock as he disappeared after the chaos. | ||
Later in the Reef, the Guardians would locate Osiris but to their shock and horror, the "Osiris" that aided Lakshmi was actually Savathûn herself. The Witch Queen claimed that she had been "aiding" the Guardians for some time and her part in helping Lakshmi was a ploy to expose the War Cult leader's conspiracy, thereby removing traitors within the Last City, ultimately making Lakshmi nothing more than a pawn in Savathûn's schemes. | |||

Lakshmi-2 was talkative enough about war stories and the accomplishments of Future War Cult but was otherwise tight-lipped about the inner workings of her faction. She viewed the coming of the [[Darkness]] as an inevitable conflict, one that could not be simply avoided, as [[Dead Orbit]] wished. She was always pondering aloud about the nature of time, fate, and the existence of alternate timelines, particularly ones without war. Lakshmi was also obsessed with finding the [[Exo Stranger]], believing her to be the key to humanity's victory.<ref name="D1Q"/> | Lakshmi-2 was talkative enough about war stories and the accomplishments of Future War Cult but was otherwise tight-lipped about the inner workings of her faction.

In Season of the Splicer, a darker side of Lakshmi-2 slowly appeared. Although she | In Season of the Splicer, a darker side of Lakshmi-2 slowly appeared. Although she appeared optimistic about the alliance between the Vanguard and the Fallen [[House of Light]], she began to grow more and more paranoid about them after they were allowed to live within the Last City's walls. This was compounded by her constant use of the Vex Device her faction venerates to peer into the future, leading her to believe the House of Light Eliksni were no different from the rest of the Fallen and that humanity can achieve victory over the Vex without them. As a result, Lakshmi-2 became a fearmonger, making broadcasts denouncing the alliance Ikora had forged with Mithrax while inciting the citizens of the Last City against the newer House. Her recent demeanor even caused members of the FWC to resign, disillusioned with the direction Lakshmi-2 was leading the faction in. Worst of all, it is heavily hinted that she intended to stage a coup against the Vanguard and the other City factions to assume full control over the city as its savior and prophet. | ||
Ironically, Lakshmi-2's obsession with her prophecy would be her undoing. Believing that the Vanguard has lost its way, that the Guardians have failed, and the Eliksni would bring tragedy to the Last City, Lakshmi colluded with other factions to oust the Vanguard and cast the House of Light out of the City. | Ironically, Lakshmi-2's obsession with her prophecy would be her undoing. Believing that the Vanguard has lost its way, that the Guardians have failed, and the Eliksni would bring tragedy to the Last City, Lakshmi colluded with other factions to oust the Vanguard and cast the House of Light out of the City. However, in her zeal, Lakshmi would actually threaten the Last City with an invasion from the Vex. She was arrogant enough to believe that she could control the Vex portal to destroy the Eliksni by sending them to space but ultimately was killed by the Vex using the portal to enter the City, realizing too late that her prophecy had come true but not in a manner she expected. As Ikora Rey put it, she foresaw the coming tragedy but failed to see it was of her own making. | ||
