Xûr, Agent of the Nine

"I have a clear purpose. I cannot explain it. Forgive me."

- Xur

Xûr, Agent of the Nine is a vendor who appears in the Tower and the Vestian Outpost. Xûr sells extremely rare goods in exchange for Strange Coins and only appears on weekends from Friday to Sunday. Xur's coming and going depends on the planetary alignments, as he hails from the Jovians, a part of the system that the Guardians have yet to adequately explore. He is in service to the Nine, enigmatic rulers of the Jovians, the section of the Solar System past the asteroid belt.

It is possible that Xûr, along with the rest of The Nine, are responsible for releasing Skolas from his prison after he was given to them.
