*The name Atheon is derived from [http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/atheos#Latin Atheos], which roughly means "atheist". This appears to be in conflict with the Vex's apparently religious nature. | *The name Atheon is derived from [http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/atheos#Latin Atheos], which roughly means "atheist".

*An alternative hypothesis argues that the name of Atheon is actually a combination of the latin word Atheos, in addition to the word [https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/eon#Greek Eon], which measures the duration of 1,000,000,000 years. When paired together, this then creates the name of Atheon, in effect, translating as either that which does not believe in time, or that which is capable of removing itself from time altogether. This latest definition appears to pair well with Atheon's ability to transport guardians throughout the Vault of Glass, a region of space-time that has somehow been secured against the progress and the decay of normal space-time. It also works well as an internal exposition about the overall magnitude of Vex powers, reinforcing the games existing narrative that the Vex can transport themselves to any place in the known universe, can simulate encounters in regular space-time with near perfect accuracy, and somehow have learned how to take pieces and parts of perceptual reality and grant them their own dark zones where time no longer effects the radioactive decay of that matter. | |||
