===Titan of the Pilgrim Guard=== | |||
When Vell was still a new [[Guardian]], he became a member of the [[Pilgrim Guard]], a [[Titan]] Order tasked with escorting refugees to [[The Last City]].<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, Item Description: [[Duskrender_Type_0#Gauntlets|Duskrender Type 0 Gauntlets]]</ref> He forged his [[Titan Mark]] out of small chains, with each chain signifying a life he saved. During his time with the Guard he encountered the [[Hunter]] [[Eris Morn]] and saved her life, after which he added a chain to his Mark and became friends with Eris.<ref name="MofVT">'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Shadowkeep]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Memory of Vell Tarlowe]]''</ref> | |||

Following the [[Vanguard]]'s failed attempt to drive the [[Hive]] from the [[Moon]] in [[The Great Disaster]], Vell learned that Eris, [[Eriana-3]], and [[Toland, the Shattered]] were putting together a small fireteam to aid them in slaying the Hive God [[Prince]] [[Crota, Son of Oryx|Crota]], who slaughtered hundreds of Guardians during the Great Disaster, alongside the [[Hunter]]s [[Omar Agah]] and [[Sai Mota]].<ref>'''Bungie (2014/12/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Dark Below]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Activities/Raids#Crota.27s_End|Crota's End]]''</ref> Vell tracked them down and volunteered to join the team to avenge those Crota and his Knights slaughtered.<ref name="MofVT"/> | |||
When they arrived on the Moon, Vell and the others questioned Toland about the Hive champions they would be facing. As the group discussed the [[Blade of Crota|Blades of Crota]], Vell stated that they sounded like more than regular [[Knight]]s. Eriana said they looked the same, but Vell claimed that would be like calling her a tin can and that they were more than what they appeared. Toland agreed with Vell and called the Blades world-carvers. The group then discussed the thousands of Guardians the Blades and other Hive champions were responsible for killing, and Omar wondered if they were truly prepared for what they would face. Vell told him that he was prepared, and was interested in Eriana's suggestion that they might turn the Blades own swords against them and believed they would lucky to do so.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/12/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Dark Below]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Exalted_Hive#Blades_of_Crota|Blades of Crota]]''</ref> | |||
As Toland told them about [[Sardon, Fist of Crota]], Vell questioned if he was one of the [[Swarm Princes]]. The mad Warlock claimed he was their lord and master, and Vell believed that facing this Hive general sounded like his kind of fight. Omar asked what was not his kind of fight, and Vell shot back that Eris and Eriana had told him of how the Swarm Princes had slaughtered their fellow Guardians, and that he was determined to end their leader if he could. Eris reminded him they were there to kill Crota, but Toland stated that all of the Hive Prince's lieutenants were extensions of him. Vell declared that settled the matter, and told the rest of the team that he had faith in his [[Light]] and theirs to succeed in their mission, but Eris and Eriana told him their mission was about vengeance and not faith. Vell stated that victory was all that mattered and that they had to do everything they could to end the Hive's terror. Toland reassured him that he was sure that Sardon would welcome Vell's challenge, and that he could lead the charge when they fought the Hive general.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/12/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Dark Below]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Exalted_Hive#Sardon.2C_Fist_of_Crota|Sardon, Fist of Crota]]''</ref> | As Toland told them about [[Sardon, Fist of Crota]], Vell questioned if he was one of the [[Swarm Princes]].

During the assault, | During the assault, Vell stood fast against hordes of [[Thrall]] spawned by the [[Wizard]] [[Verok]] and [[Alak-Hul, the Darkblade]].<ref>'''Bungie (2014/12/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Dark Below]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, Item Description: [[Mark of the Duskborn]]''</ref> He underestimated the Thrall and their ability to smother his Light, which allowed Verok and her spawn to swarm and overwhelm him.<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]] PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Enemy of My Enemy]]'' </ref> As he scrambled and attempted to fight to safety through the Thrall, Vell was knocked to the ground and Alak-Hul delivered the killing blow to the Titan by impaling him upon his ax, making Vell the first casualty of the mission to assassinate Crota.<ref name="MofVT"/> | ||
==Personality and traits== | |||
{{Quote|He was subtle... for a Titan. Perhaps too subtle when it mattered.|Eris Morn describing Vell}} | |||
Vell was more subtle than many of his fellow Titans due to his experience at leading refugees through enemy territory and only fighting when necessary. Eris speculated that he may have been too subtle at times, which may have led to his death.<ref name="MofVT"/> | |||
