Biography
"My role among the Hidden is an honor." "None would argue. But it's had its cost. Your place is to gather the understanding we need to wage these wars, but your own war is long done. Let those prepared to fight, fight." "And should they die?" "None who walk these Towers is afraid..."

- Eris and Ikora Rey

Eris was one of six Guardians who descended into the Hellmouth to kill the Hive god Crota in revenge for the deaths of thousands of Guardians who had tried to reclaim the Moon during The Great Disaster. Though the other five members of her fireteam, Eriana-3, Toland, the Shattered, Omar Agah, Vell Tarlowe, and Sai Mota, died during the venture and her own Ghost was lost, Eris managed to survive in the Hellmouth's shadowy warrens for years. She eventually returned to the Tower alive, but changed. Her obsession with Crota made her a pariah back at the Tower, but though the Speaker and Commander Zavala believe her obsession is unhealthy, Ikora Rey secretly employed her as a member of the Hidden to infiltrate and keep watch on the activities of the Darkness. Though she works for Ikora, she also reports to Osiris and Mara Sov.

Eris claims that after the Hive took her eyes, she replaced them with those of a Hive enemy, third eye included. Apparently that was not enough, though, as one of the tasks she sends the player on is to obtain the eyes of The Forsaken for some undisclosed purpose.

With Crota's death, Eris turned her attention to his master, Oryx, and for this purpose she turned to the Queen of the Reef for help. Together they formed a plan to defeat Oryx; the Awoken would prevent his fleet from entering the inner system, while Eris would help the Guardians enter the Dreadnaught and kill Oryx. She is one of the guides in The Taken King, and among the first to detect the threat of the Taken. Cayde-6 likes to refer to her as his "creepy sidekick" in their efforts to stop Oryx, much to her immense annoyance. When Eris finds out that her ship was destroyed in Cayde's mission to board the Dreadnaught, she is enraged at Cayde for the loss. Despite her anger, she still works with him to help bring down Oryx. However, once Oryx is defeated permanently, she refuses to let go of her anger. By the time of the Festival of the Lost, she is still mad at Cayde despite his attempts to earn her forgiveness. She refuses to forgive him unless her ship is returned. .

Gameplay
"You saved us all. Your sacrifice—" "I am still here. My sacrifice was—" "Enough" "And I should ask new heroes to fall... as they did?" "It is why we were reborn in the Light.""

Eris will give you two quest lines, The Extermination and the Urn of Sacrifice.

Trivia

 * Eris is the goddess of discord in Greek mythology.
 * During the Festival of the Lost, Eris gives the player the item Tiny Box of Raisins, instead of the candy given by all other vendors. The raisins seemed useless and could only be discarded. As of update 2.4.1 they became Ascendant Raisins and grant a Grimoire card to those who still have them. In their place the player is given Piece of Celery.
