'''Master Ives''' was the [[Cryptarch]] of the [[Vestian Outpost]]. In ''[[Destiny]]'', he shares the same reputation level as [[Master Rahool]], so he doesn't need to be leveled up independently. He will also purchase any artifacts from players, as well as any [[Royal Amethyst]] they've recovered.

In ''[[Destiny 2]]'', sometime around the events of ''[[Forsaken]]'', Master Ives was found murdered and [[the Guardian]] pursues his [[Kikliss, Murderer|killer]] during the events of the [[Festival of the Lost]].<ref>[https://www.bungie.net/en/News/Article/47315 '''Bungie.net''' - ''Festival of the Lost – 2018'']</ref>

==Biography==
After Queen [[Mara Sov]] granted the [[Vanguard]] access to the [[Vestian Outpost]], Ives was assigned to assist [[Guardian]]s there with decrypting engrams. Ives was introduced to a Guardian who had been aided by the Queen and whom he had heard much of from [[Master Rahool]]. He informed the Guardian he was looking forward to doing business with them and hoped not to disappoint them too much.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/5/19)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[House of Wolves (expansion)|House of Wolves]] - [[House of Wolves (quest)]]''</ref>

Sometime later, after the events of [[Forsaken]], Ives was found murdered by an unknown killer. [[Petra Venj]] contacted [[Amanda Holliday]] during that year's Festival of the Lost, who brought in the Guardian to help solve the mystery. Given a lead by Holliday from unknown sources, the Guardian found some of Ives' lost journal pages and concluded that the [[Fallen]] were somehow responsible. After scouring the [[European Dead Zone]] for clues, the Guardian came across a Fallen teleporter with Ives' Cryptarch robes hanging next to it in the [[Whispered Falls]]. After being told to follow by Holliday, the Guardian is taken back to the [[Cosmodrome]] for the first time since the [[SIVA Crisis]] years ago, as it was quarantined by [[Zavala]]. The Guardian explored [[the Breach]], fighting off waves of Fallen, and slayed the one responsible for Ives' death: [[Kikliss, Murderer]], a Fallen captain of the [[House of Dusk]], accompanied by the [[Servitor]] [[Rudriks-9]]. Following this, the Guardian left the Cosmodrome and returned to Holliday, where they acquired Master Ives' Last Engram, which, when decrypted, awarded the [[Thunderlord]]. However, it is also mentioned by Amanda while in the Cosmodrome that the Fallen did not seem to have any apparent motive and that this event was most likely part of something larger.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]] - [[Quest (Destiny 2)|Quest]]: [[The Lost Cryptarch]]''</ref>

==Personality and traits==
Reef Cryptarchs believe that their job is to encrypt matter and secrets rather than discover them. They are often at odds with the [[City]]'s Cryptarchy on matters of philosophy.<ref>'''Bungie (2015/5/19)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[House of Wolves (expansion)|House of Wolves]] - [[Grimoire]]:[[Grimoire:Allies|Allies]]/[[Grimoire:Allies/The Queen|The Queen]], [[Grimoire:Allies/The Queen#Master Ives, Cryptarch|Master Ives, Cryptarch]]''</ref> Ives, in particular, had a rivalry with Rahool.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]] - [[Lore]]:[[Lore:The Awoken of the Reef|The Awoken of the Reef]], [[Lore:The Awoken of the Reef#Of Earth and the Reef|Of Earth and the Reef]]''</ref>
