Thorn

"To rend one's enemies is to see them not as equals, but objects—hollow of spirit and meaning."

- 13th Understanding, 7th Book of Sorrow

Thorn is a rare, or exotic, hand cannon. It is most likely named after the thorn-like spikes on it. The weapon is sleek, dark black, with many spikes or "thorns" adorning the sides, facing the front of the weapon.

Thorn is acquired via the exotic bounty, A Light in the Dark.

Thorn was once called Rose, and belonged to the Guardian Dredgen Yor. Once a noble hero, Yor eventually fell to Darkness, and rebuilt Thorn using the dark sorcery he learned from the Hive.

Trivia

 * Thorn was originally described as being one of the loot in Charlemagne's Vault, a chamber in the Dust Palace that does not appear in the final version of the game.
