| {{Quote|[...] But, as always, you proved equal to the task. [[The Traveler]] chose you well. I once employed Human agents in a similar manner. I dubbed them "Seraphs". Granted them access to experimental armaments and armor. At times, I wonder if I predicted the Traveler's creation of Guardians, or if I independently deemed my avatars worthy of such responsibility. Whatever my intrinsic reasoning, the results were sound. You and the Seraphs are kindred spirits, stalwart defenders of your kind. In the past, I have made errors in judgement. Decisions based on faulty premises and flawed moral frameworks. But you are proof that the Seraph Protocol was '''no''' such error. Choosing to trust humanity may have been the best of my decisions.|Rasputin to the [[Young Wolf]]}} <ref name="Kindred Spirits">'''Bungie (2020/12/6)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Seraph]], [[Rasputin]]: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M3xureIqZ8Q You and the Seraphs Are Kindred Spirits]''</ref>

| The '''Seraphs''', also known as the '''Seven Seraphs''', were [[Human]] agents employed by the [[Warmind]] and active during the [[Golden Age]]. They worked closely with [[Rasputin]] with each member being entrusted with experimental armaments and armor; including a [[Warmind Khanjali]].

| | |
| They operated from [[Seraph Bunker|combat bunkers]] across the system which were built and stored by Rasputin; their main base of operations being [[Seraph Station]] in geosynchronous orbit of [[Earth]]. Eventually, all of the Seraphs were wiped out during the [[Collapse]]. When the [[Guardian]]s joined forces with Rasputin, they uncovered their armaments in defunct bunkers and rediscovered their legacies.<ref name=Tatarstan>'''Bungie (2020/3/10)''',''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Worthy]], Item Description: [[Tatarstan]]''</ref> Eventually, they became the Warmind's newest generation of Seraphs up until his final deletion.<ref name="Kindred Spirits"/>

| |
| ===The Collapse===
| |
| During the events of the Collapse, the Seraphs had been mobilizing by [[Rasputin]] when word reached them of events surrounding [[Titan (moon)|Titan]], which had suffered a massive extinction-level event caused by the [[Pyramids]] when they manipulated the moon

| | |
| On [[Earth]], First Lieutenant [[Artur Voronin]] and his superior [[Morozova]] were stockpiling munitions as surviving civilians were being escorted into a nearby evac station to wait out the ongoing calamity in cryo-induced hibernation. By then, the Pyramids had unleashed a paracausal storm across the surrounding landscape, separating Voronin and Morozova amidst the chaos and threatening the station and its people. Voronin attempts to save his mortally-wounded officer just as the [[Traveler]] came to the planet and into his vicinity. Artur and Morozuva were then saved by faculty from the nearby evac station and placed in cryo-sleep; the last thing that the first lieutenant had seen was of the Traveler's sacrifice. <ref>'''Bungie (2020/3/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Worthy]], Item Description: [[Seventh Seraph Armor]]''</ref>

| After being restored, but prior to his sacrifice, Rasputin would leave one final message for The Guardian, referring to them as "my Seraph."
