Unlike mass-produced robotic [[frame]]s, Exos are human minds uploaded in artificial bodies; with the notable exception of [[Felwinter]], each and every Exo was a human before. The uploading technology was developed by [[Clovis Bray (corporation)|Clovis Bray corporation]] during the [[Golden Age]]; many Exos come from the mysterious [[Deep Stone Crypt]] on [[Europa]]. Exo names typically include the number of memory-wiping "reboots" of their brain, e.g. [[Cayde-6]] or [[Saint-14]]. While not being biologically "alive", Exos retain many human qualities and habits; just like any living being, they have [[Light]] of their own, and can die and be revived by a [[Ghost]]. | ||

But there is one clue to their origins; many Exos experience a dream they call [[Deep Stone Crypt]], or the "place where they were born." It is described as "the infamous subroutine which seeded the first Exo consciousness."

Exos appear unyielding and tireless, to the point that appearing exhausted is often considered impressive for an Exo.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken (expansion)|Forsaken]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[The Sixth Coyote]]''</ref> Mechanically, they are so advanced that only a Ghost can comprehend their inner workings. In many ways, Exos like to think of themselves as human, or having human minds in machine bodies.
