{{quote|Sjur Eido's fury and grief whetted themselves against Mara's thoughtless grace and ancient beauty, until at last her heart unseamed itself and spilled its hot blood in a shout. "Mara Sov!" she cried, throwing down her maltech matter laser between them. "I cannot live while you live, but I cannot bear to kill you. I challenge you to a duel to the agony. I will fight your most beloved companion to the death and leave you forever maimed or else die in the attempt."|Imponent II}} | |||
Sjur Eido was one of the first-generation Awoken, one of the [[891]].

{{quote|For her part, Sjur Eido wandered about in a daze, filled with joy to be alive and grief that she no longer knew the day when she would die. "In you, all things are possible," she told Mara.

When the Awoken, newly settled in the [[Reef]], learned that humanity still existed on [[Earth]], a schism developed between those who stayed loyal to Mara Sov and those who wanted to bring their resources to help Earth. Sjur reported on the situation to Mara, as well as a premonition of her own death when the [[Fallen]] inevitably tracked the Earth-altruists back to the Reef. By then, she had already established herself as Mara's bodyguard.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken (expansion)|Forsaken]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Revanche III]]''</ref> When the schism turned violent, Sjur was separated from Mara and exchanged fire with several of the mutineers.

Afterwards, Mara was proclaimed Queen. A Fallen [[Ketch]] arrived less than an hour later, having tracked the Earthborn Awoken to their source. Though Awoken weaponry destroyed the Ketch instantly, a fleet of [[Skiff]]s had already deployed and began raiding. Sjur, fighting in an armored combat shell, killed the commanding [[Baron]] and destroyed his [[Walker]] with a demolition charge, knowing that she would also die in the resulting explosion. However, the blast threw her clear completely unharmed -- the result of Mara's unconscious and burgeoning paracausal abilities.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken (expansion)|Forsaken]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Revanche V]]''</ref> | Afterwards, Mara was proclaimed Queen.

As the Awoken civilization prospered, Sjur became Queen's Wrath. Her skill with a bow was legendary.
