- Arcite 99-40

Arcite 99-40 is the Crucible Quartermaster, located in the Tower. He is responsible for selling Crucible Weapons and Sparrows to Guardians. He also offers Guardians weekly Crucible Bounties.

Biography
The last of Lord Shaxx's personal combat frames, Arcite's combat systems were removed and replaced with the Tower's vendor protocols when Shaxx began overseeing the Crucible, but his memory banks still remember the many battles he has fought. Shaxx once sent Arcite to deal with members of Tex Mechanica who wanted to fix Crucible results for a profit. During the exchange where he rebuffed them on Shaxx's behalf, he showed he has adopted many of Shaxx's mannerisms, as indicated by his accent and his propensity for repeating what Shaxx says.

After the fall of the Last City to the Cabal, Arcite and Lord Shaxx relocate to The Farm along with many other survivors. Arcite serves as a gunsmith for the resistance.

During the battle to retake the Last City from the Cabal, Arcite accompanies Lord Shaxx's team. As they rush to join Zavala, Ikora Rey, and Cayde-6's fireteams, they are cut off by a Cabal barrier field.

With the City reclaimed, Arcite resumes his duties assisting Shaxx in managing the Crucible from the new Tower. He and Dahlia 99-40 also attempt to modify one of Shaxx's Redjacks for an unknown purpose.

Quotes

 * "Get back out there."

Trivia
Arcite has horns installed on his head similar to his owner, Lord Shaxx. Shaxx suffers from night terrors, something shared by many Titans due to the up close nature of their breed of warfare. Arcite stays outside of Shaxx's room most nights, and when Shaxx begins to scream in terror, Arcite screams a bit louder to drown the sound out. This has led some Guardians to think Arcite is in some way defective, but in reality he is defending the honour of "the greatest Guardian he has ever known".
