'''Tevis Larsen'''<ref name="TTKQ">'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[The Taken King]], Activision Blizzard: [[The Taken King (Quest)]]''</ref> was a sly [[Hunter]] who had the rare gift of calling out to the [[Void]]. He was a friend of [[Cayde-6]], who described him as a "lying cheat". Apart from owing Cayde a large amount of [[Glimmer]], Tevis was a well respected and revered member of the [[Nightstalker]]s, a Hunter subclass which uses the Void to quickly dispatch enemy forces. He is also mentioned to have been good friends with Andal Brask and Shiro-4, as well as Cayde-6.

==Biography==
At some point Tevis encountered the [[Golden Age]] AI [[Rasputin]], which he claimed that the [[Warmind]] was not an ally of the [[Last City]] nor cared if [[Humanity]] and the [[Traveler]] survived according to its own words.<ref name="TTKQ" />

During the [[Taken War]], Telvis had the desire to traverse the [[Black Garden]] after hearing of the [[Awoken]] found a way in. He and his [[Ghost]] would both scout at the [[Ishtar Sink]] on [[Venus]] until both were separated on opposite sides of a [[Warp Gate]] at the [[Endless Steps]], leaving his [[Ghost]] to fend for himself while Tevis was left stranded at the depths of the garden. Meanwhile, the [[Hunter]] [[Vanguard]] [[Cayde-6]] would send forth [[the Guardian]] to locate Tevis as he stepped through the gate and hailed him on their comms, only to have arrived too late as the [[Vex]] destroyed his Ghost and left Tevis with little [[Light]] on his [[Shadowshot|Dusk Bow]] to fend himself with.<ref name=TNST1>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[The Taken King]], Activision Blizzard, [[A Ranger Lost]]''</ref>    

Despite the Guardian's best efforts to reach his location, Tevis was ultimately killed by the [[Sol Divisive]] and found dead in the [[Black Garden]]. Upon finding his corpse, Cayde-6 instructs the Guardian to pick up his [[Light]]-infused Dusk Bow, unlocking the Nightstalker subclass before tasking them to kill all of the Vex in vengeance for his friend's death.<ref name=TNST2>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[The Taken King]], Activision Blizzard, [[A Ranger Found]]''</ref>

However, echoes of Tevis' conciousness would continue to persist within the [[Darkness]] of the Black Garden; where they reached the Guardian through the Light they had previously taken from him. Despite having been untethered from the [[Void]], Telvis offered his advice about the nature of the [[Vex]] whilst drawing parallels between [[Lightbearer]]s and the Sol Divisive as both parties draw their power from a greater source (being [[the Traveler]] and the [[Black Heart]] respectively). He also issues a final warning to not overbear themselves with questions lest they would drown in confusion of them. <ref>'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Shadowkeep]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Lore:Aspect]] - [[Lore:Aspect#Atelic|Atelic]]''</ref>

==Quotes==
*''"I've had a dozen Hunters ask me why it's so hard to summon a Dusk Bow. I asked 'em what they thought of the Void, and their eyes told me everything. You can't be afraid. That's the secret. No fear."''<ref name=TNST2/>
*''"I gave up on the Traveler long ago. But when I heard the Awoken had found a way into the Garden, I couldn't resist."''<ref name=TNST1/>
*''"Some soldiers tire. Others fall as the battle rages on. For the Bladedancer, every foe slain becomes a new lease on life."'' <ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/09)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, Item Description, [[Create Orbs of Light]]''</ref>
*''"Rasputin isn't an ally. You hear me, blood? You find yourself thinking that, you shut it down. He may not be against us, but he doesn't care if you live, if the City lives, if the Traveler lives. Trust me. He told me himself."'' <ref name="TTKQ" />
*''"Doesn't matter how good you are—you stay out there too long, you're not coming back. Not the same way you left, anyway."'' <ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, Item Description, [http://db.destinytracker.com/items/1054763959-graviton-forfeit Graviton Forfeit]''</ref>
*''"Why is it golden? Well, let's see, what's the fundamental force we're dealing with here? Solar energy, right? Like, from the Sun? I swear, you kids come out of the Tower greener and greener every year. Why is it gold? Feh."'' <ref name="PotG">'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[The Taken King]], Activision Blizzard: [[Path of the Gunslinger]] quest''</ref>
*''"Don't believe Cayde. Half the things out of his mouth are lies, the other half are fibs. My favorite line of his? Oh, easy. He likes to say he stole the secret of stealth tech from Rasputin, and that's how Bladedancers learned the trick. Hah!" <ref name="PotG" />
*''"One good throw and they're staring right into the void. No lookin' away from that."'' <ref>'''Bungie (2020/4/121)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Worthy]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, Item Description, [[Caught in the Vortex]]''</ref>
