Very little about the Nine or the Jovian peoples is known due to the isolation of the outer Solar System. In ''Destiny'', a [[Grimoire]] Card, Ghost Fragment: Legends 2, presents nine legends that offer contradictory clues and hints as to their nature.<ref name="Legends 2">'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard'', ''[[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Allies/Legends_%26_Mysteries#Ghost_Fragment:_Legends_2| Ghost Fragment: Legends 2]]''</ref> Many of the entities described by the legends actually exist, but while they all seem to be linked to the Nine, the nature of the connection varies. The Emissary claims that both deliberately seeking them out and doing nothing may lead one to encounter them, as they are ''"everywhere and nowhere"''.
