Having won, he forced Shaxx to train some of the City's children to play dodgeball. Though Shaxx tried to pay him off, he chose the idea of annoying him over [[Glimmer]].<ref>'''Bungie (2017/28/3)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[Age of Triumph]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Allies/Legends_%26_Mysteries#Ghost_Fragment:Lord_Shaxx|Ghost Fragment: Lord Shaxx]]''</ref> When Cayde returned to tell Shaxx his debt was paid, Shaxx immediately bet against him again.

===The Red War=== | |||
====Fall of the Last City==== | |||
{{Quote|Zavala's doing the hero act in the Plaza. Me? I've got a date with whoever's behind this. It'll be a short date.|Cayde}} | |||
As the rest of the City prepared to celebrate, Cayde arrived at the Hall of Guardians to meet with Zavala and Ikora and inquired if he had been summoned for a practical joke. Zavala quickly got him to be serious, and after Ikora revealed that all of their Skyline Defense Systems had been sabotaged, Cayde reported that the communications system had also been malfunctioning. Ikora then stated that the Last City's satellites were reporting nothing, which Cayde believed was good, until she informed them that they were reporting nothing because they were no longer there. A massive Cabal fleet then emerged from the storm clouds surrounding the Last City and fired dozens of missiles at the Tower. Cayde used his [[Golden Gun]] to shoot down several, but was then teleported by Ikora into Zavala [[Ward of Dawn]] just before falling debris crushed him.<ref name="HC">'''Bungie (2017/9/8)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Homecoming]]''</ref> | |||
Surviving the [[Red Legion]]'s assault, Cayde began fighting their legionaries throughout the Tower. As he used his Golden Gun to kill three legionaries, he encountered the Young Wolf and happily greeted them. Cayde informed them that Zavala was rallying Guardians in the plaza, but that he would not be joining them and was planning on finding the Cabal commander and killing them. He then leapt through a hole in the ceiling and entered his ship. Later in the battle, Cayde was contacted for a status update by Zavala. He informed the Titan he was low on ammo and asked if there was any word from Ikora, and was told by Zavala that she had not been heard from since she went after the Cabal who captured the Speaker.<ref name="HC"/> | |||
Cayde was fighting alongside Lord Shaxx in an unknown area of the City when the Cabal activated the [[Traveler Cage]]<ref>'''Bungie (2018/5/8)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Warmind (expansion)|Warmind]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Solstice Mask (Rekindled)]]''</ref> , despite the loss of the [[Light]], Cayde continued to fight and remained in the city despite the Cabal occupation<ref>'''Bungie (2018/5/8)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Warmind (expansion)|Warmind]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Solstice Grasps (Rekindled)]]''</ref>. Seeking to take down [[Dominus Ghaul|Ghaul]] and feeling like Zavala and Ikora would fail to take action against the Cabal, Cayde accessed a still-functioning Vanguard Terminal and asked the Terminal for advice on how to kill Ghaul, after a brief moment conversation with the Terminal, Cayde decided to seek a [[Vex]] teleporter to help him accomplish his goal.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/5/8)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Warmind (expansion)|Warmind]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Solstice Vest (Rekindled)]]''</ref> | |||
====Trapped on Nessus==== | |||
He eventually fled [[Earth]] and crash landed on [[Nessus]], where he met a Golden Age AI named [[Failsafe]] and found a Vex teleporter, despite Failsafe's warnings, Cayde activated the device, causing him to becoming trapped in an endless teleportation loop<ref>'''Bungie (2018/5/8)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Warmind (expansion)|Warmind]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Solstice Strides (Rekindled)]]''</ref>. The Guardian traveled to Nessus to find Cayde to reunite the Vanguard on Zavala's orders and discovered Cayde trapped within the continuous teleportation loop caused by the Vex teleporter, and worked with Failsafe to free him. Succeeding in doing so, Cayde ended up on [[Exodus Black]], but a large Fallen force was enclosing on their position. Thankfully, the Guardian arrived and routed the Fallen, meeting up with Cayde and providing him with the device he sought. Cayde is, at first, only interested in doing his solo mission of killing Ghaul but quickly changes his mind after hearing that Zavala "needed" him. Before departing, Cayde gives the Guardian a lead on where to find Ikora Ray, he states that they should head to [[Io]], as he believes she would travel there for answers. | |||
====Retaking Earth==== | |||
Meeting up with his comrades on Earth at [[The Farm]], they discuss a strategy in liberating their home and taking down [[The Almighty]] warship that will destroy their system's sun if not stopped. Zavala plans to have the Guardian infiltrate the Almighty to permanently disable the warship while the Vanguards forces sneak into the Last City as Cayde mentions the Vex teleporter. They would use the device to quickly travel to the Cage to free the Traveler. Despite the appearance that an all-out attack is doomed to fail, Cayde states that its worth it no matter what. [[Suraya Hawthorne]] enters and provides both the means to get into the City undetected and how to get the Guardian to the Almighty. The Guardian would steal the security pass and ship of Thumos, the Unbroken. Cayde and Zavala guide the Guardian in breaching Thumos' defenses but gets a little jealous that the Guardian gets to use a [[Drake Tank]]. Regardless, the Guardian succeeds in breaching the Cabal's defenses and takes down Thumos. With his ship, the Guardian reaches the Almighty and disables it for good. On that cue, the Vanguard initiates their attack to liberate the Last City. Cayde uses a pet chicken to stage seven ambushes and later travels past a Cabal checkpoint to set up the Vex teleporter. Cayde encounters trouble while he sets up the device. As the Guardian returns and races to the Vanguards position, Cayde successfully sets up the device but loses an arm in the process. The Guardian succeeds in using the device to reach Ghaul's command ship, the Immortal, near the Cage and battles with the Dominus. The Guardian defeats the Cabal dictator and in the chaos, the Traveler awakens who destroys Ghaul forever. In a massive flash, the Light is restored to all Guardians, driving the leaderless Red Legion from the City. With their home reclaimed and the Traveler awake, the Vanguard regroup near the ruins of the Tower. Congratulating the Guardian, Cayde and his comrades begin their work in rebuilding the City and dealing with the present threats that continue to linger in the System. | |||
===A New Golden Age=== | |||
Taking residence at the new Vanguard hangar, Cayde provides patrol and Flashpoint missions to the Guardians while offering treasure maps to some of his stashes. At times, Cayde grows increasingly bored with the paperwork he's been given and even some of the adventure and Strike missions, often attempting to delegate such tasks to Hawthorne or [[Devrim Kay]], annoying them. | |||
Shortly after the Last City was liberated, a meeting of the [[Consensus]] was called to reestablish its governance of the city. When Executor [[Hideo]] protested that only the Speaker could call the Consensus to order, Cayde attempted to use that as an excuse to leave the meeting, but he was stopped by Ikora. The rest of the Consensus agreed that until a new Speaker was chosen, they would govern the Last City together.<ref name="PBC">'''Bungie (2017/12/5)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Curse of Osiris]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, Item Description, [[Peace by Consensus]]''</ref> | |||
At a later meeting of the Consensus, [[Ariadne Gris]] was summoned before them to answer questions about why her [[Sparrow]], the ''[[Dinas Emrys]]'', had a dragon painted on it, as some suspected it was a sign of [[Ahamkara]] contact. Cayde advised Ariadne to play nice with Hideo after the New Monarchy representative grew angry with her sarcastic responses, causing her to insist that she just thought dragons were cool and that not all of them were Ahamkara. Cayde was amused when Ikora interjected that Ariadne obviously could not have come into contact with an Ahamkara due to her poor win/loss record in the [[Sparrow Racing League]], and the meeting ended with the Consensus agreeing that the dragon symbol was indeed cool.<ref>'''Bungie (2017/8/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Dinas Emrys]]''</ref> | |||
Cayde eventually grew bored in the Tower and ventured out into the Solar system to hunt enemies of the Vanguard. He captured many threats and put them into the [[Prison of Elders]]. Eventually he gathered six of his most trusted Guardians and aided Regent-Commander [[Petra Venj]] in restoring order to the Reef, which had fallen into chaos after the events of [[The Taken War]] and the Red Legion's invasion. This campaign culminated in a battle against the [[Scorn]], a powerful faction of Fallen outlaws. During the battle, most of the Scorn's Barons were killed, but Cayde and his team captured seven of them and sent them to the Prison of Elders. Despite this victory, Cayde's efforts against the Scorn were incomplete due to the escape of their leader [[Fikrul, the Fanatic]].<ref name="GIBarons">[https://www.gameinformer.com/2018/07/05/these-are-the-eight-barons-who-helped-kill-cayde-6-in-destiny-2-forsaken '''Game Informer''': ''These Are The Eight Barons Who Helped Kill Cayde-6 In Destiny 2: Forsaken'']</ref> Even after the campaign against the Scorn ended, a restless Cayde would occasionally ask Petra to call for his help to create an excuse to leave.<ref>[[https://www.bungie.net/en/Explore/Detail/News/47166|Letter From Cayde]]</ref> | |||
===Forsaken=== | |||
{{quote|You tell Zavala and Ikora...the Vanguard...is the best bet...I ever...lost...|Cayde-6 to The Guardian}} | |||
Alongside The Guardian, Cayde traveled to the Reef in light of civil unrest and a breakout from the [[Prison of Elders]].<ref>[https://www.polygon.com/2018/6/5/17418940/destiny-2-forsaken-release-date-year-2 '''Polygon''' - ''Destiny 2: Forsaken arrives Sept. 4, here’s our first look'']</ref> The two show up and aid Petra Venj in reactivating the security systems and putting down prisoners. The three split up and fight their way through the prison until they manage to get what's left of the Prison up and running. Once the deed is done, Petra alerts Cayde to the escape of the Scorn Barons. Driven to stop them first, Cayde knocks out the suspension of one of the control stations and rides the falling wreck down to the Baron's escape route. | |||
In an unexpected turn of events, he encountered the eight [[Scorn]] barons, and after a fight with several members of the Scorn, [[Pirrha, the Rifleman]] destroyed his [[Ghost]]. Realizing that the end was near, Cayde took solace in the fact that he would be reunited with his long dead son Ace, before assuming a defiant pose by aiming his gun towards [[Reksis Vahn, the Hangman]]. Cayde was promptly knocked through a wall by the Baron's censer where he encountered Uldren. Upon realizing that Uldren intended to kill him, he taunted him with the knowledge that [[The Guardian]] would hunt him and the Barons down. Uldren then held Cayde at gunpoint with his own weapon, the [[Ace of Spades]]. When asked for his last words, Cayde delivered one final taunt towards Uldren before being fatally shot in the chest. The Guardian arrives too late, unable to save him or stop Uldren. Cayde uses his last moments to make sure The Guardian does not blame his/herself, and asks them to relay his last words to Ikora and Zavala, before he dies his final death. Taking justice into their own hands, the Guardian set out to claim revenge.<ref>''Game Informer #104: At the Crossroads''</ref> | |||
===Legacy=== | |||
{{quote|To whomst it may concern: <br/>I, Cayde-6, being of sound(ish) mind and body, do hereby and henceforth and heretofore leave all my possessions to the person alien, animal, or natural phenomenon what kills me. Aforesaid possessions include, but are not limited to:<br/>—The Ace of Spades<br/>—Any and all stashes I've hidden throughout the system<br/>—The Colonel, my faithful friend<br/>—My debts, which follow:<br/><br/>THE ATTACHED FILE IS TOO BIG TO DOWNLOAD|The Last Will and Testament of Cayde-6}} | |||
Both Zavala and Ikora are saddened and enraged at the loss of their fireteam comrade and friend. Ikora swears that Uldren Sov must pay for his crimes and proposes the plan to storm the Reef to kill Uldren. Zavala, however, while equal in his grief, feels that Last City and the Guardians do not have the strength to conduct such an assault. Thus, the Titan Vanguard believes that they must focus on their people and not on vengeance, thereby declaring the Reef off-limits, despite the Warlock Vanguard's objections. Against Zavala's wishes however, the Guardian vows to go to the Reef and kill Uldren on their own. | |||
The Guardian, unsupported from the Vanguard, makes wary alliances and face a great deal of struggles to hunt down Uldren and his Barons. Nonetheless, the Guardian succeeds in taking out the Scorn Barons, dismantling their operations within the [[Tangled Shore]] and make their way to Uldren within a mysterious Awoken structure, the Watchtower. After a dangerous battle with a monstrous Taken Chimera creature, the [[Voice of Riven]], Uldren is left weakened and at the mercy of the Guardian, who recovered the ''Ace of Spades,'' and Petra Venj. Though Petra claims to know what Cayde would do with Uldren ready to be killed, the rogue prince asks the Guardian on what they think the Hunter Vanguard would do. After a moment's hesitation, the Guardian levels the Ace of Spades at Uldren's head and nods in affirmaton to Uldren's question. The screen fades, and a gunshot signifies the end of the Reef Awoken traitor, avenging Cayde-6. | |||
Though Cayde's killer had been dealt with and the Scorn's plots have been ruined, a somber and uncertain mood as blanketed the denizens of the Tower, as the Hunters are without a leader and Zavala feels that Uldren's death will have consequences in the future. Ikora, while grateful to the Guardians for avenging her friend and comrade, also feels uncertain of what's in store in the future. | Though Cayde's killer had been dealt with and the Scorn's plots have been ruined, a somber and uncertain mood as blanketed the denizens of the Tower, as the Hunters are without a leader and Zavala feels that Uldren's death will have consequences in the future.
