*In the original storyline of ''Destiny'', Rasputin was the focus of the game's plot, as he was kidnapped by the [[Hive]] and taken to the [[Dreadnaught]]. The focus of the game was to rescue him. In this version, he was an [[Exo]], though would be revealed to be controlled by the warmind (rather than actually ''being'' the warmind) in a future DLC.<ref name = "Messy">[http://kotaku.com/the-messy-true-story-behind-the-making-of-destiny-1737556731 '''Kotaku''' - ''The Messy, True Story Behind The Making Of Destiny'']</ref> | |||
*At the Tower, [[Xander 99-40]] may occasionally say "Suspended bounty, Rasputin, no claimants." This implies that Rasputin is attempting to sponsor bounties for Guardians, or as a humorous aside suggesting that someone placed a bounty on Rasputin himself but no one stepped forward to carry it out. | *At the Tower, [[Xander 99-40]] may occasionally say "Suspended bounty, Rasputin, no claimants."

*The [[Grimoire/Allies#Ghost_Fragment:_Mysteries|Ghost Fragment: Mysteries]] appears to be written from the perspective of Rasputin. Though heavily laden with metaphor, it appears to be a fractured chronicle of his encounter with the [[Darkness]], his fruitless attempts to overcome (or even resist) it, and his fateful decision to abandon his primary function in favor of survival (a tactic which he claims to have learned from his enemy). The colorful descriptions seem to indicate that he has descended into insanity since the [[Collapse]], either as a result of his encounter with the Darkness, or due to drastically rewriting his core protocols, or perhaps both. | *The [[Grimoire/Allies#Ghost_Fragment:_Mysteries|Ghost Fragment: Mysteries]] appears to be written from the perspective of Rasputin.
