Vance: Difference between revisions

'''Brother Vance''' is a blind disciple and representative of the [[Cult of Osiris]]. When the [[Wolf Rebellion]] began, Vance travelled to the [[Vestian Outpost]] in the [[Reef]] and attempted to recruit the strongest [[Guardian]]s for the [[Trials of Osiris]], offering entry and rewards to the event. After leaving the Reef, Vance led [[The Lighthouse (Destiny 2)|The Lighthouse]], a Cult outpost on [[Mercury]] located near the entrance to the [[Infinite Forest]]. He has written multiple books on Osiris and spends much time reading the portents and watching for Osiris’ prophecies to come true. [[Ikora Rey]] derisively called Vance “Osiris’ greatest fan.” The de facto leader of the cult, Brother Vance, admits to having never met Osiris, and expresses intense jealousy that the Guardian met with him in the [[Infinite Forest]].

{{Quote|To be a Guardian! How I longed for it. After a near-death experience in which I lost my eyesight, I even believed that I had become a Guardian, that the great Osiris had granted me my dearest wish. How young and foolish I was!|Vance, lamenting on his past delusions}}

As a young follower of [[Osiris]], Vance rejected the teachings of the [[Speaker]] and instead believed in the exiled [[Warlock]]'s views on the [[Traveler]]. He wished to be a Guardian so that he could follow in his hero's footsteps. However, he ended up in a accident that cost him his eyesight and nearly his life. This traumatic experience led to Vance believing that somehow Osiris had granted his wish to become a Guardian,<ref>'''Bungie (2017/12/5)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Curse of Osiris]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Machina Dei 4]]''</ref> and he claimed in his delusion to be an old [[Warlock]] like Osiris.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/5/19)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[House of Wolves (expansion)|House of Wolves]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, Vance dialogue: "I'm an old, blind Warlock far from home.

Vance was allowed access to the [[Vestian Outpost]] by Queen [[Mara Sov]] when sections of the Reef were opened up to the [[Guardian]]s during the [[Wolf Rebellion]]. He set up a shrine in the outpost in the hopes of attracting Guardians into competing in the [[Trials of Osiris]]. While there he met a [[The Guardian|Guardian]] and was astounded by how the [[Light]] shined around them, and noted that he now understood why Osiris was interested in them.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/5/19)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[House of Wolves (expansion)|House of Wolves]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard'', [[House of Wolves (quest)]]</ref> Vance had a meeting with Mara at some point during his stay at the Vestian Outpost where she told Vance a secret that he believed he was destined to tell [[Osiris]].<ref>'''Bungie (2017/8/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, Vance dialogue: "The Queen once whispered a secret to me.
