The Speaker

Saint-14 was an Exo and one of the most famous Titans in the history of The Last City. He served as the first Titan Vanguard and was the right hand of the Speaker. After the exile of Osiris and Saint-14's crusades against the Fallen, Saint-14 disappeared on a mission to Mercury to prevent Osiris from disturbing the Vex.

Biography

Protecting the Last City

After the destruction of the Iron Lords, Saint-14 was one of several Guardians who attempted to keep order in the Last City as chaos threatened to reign. Under the guidance of the Speaker, he helped to established the Consensus and Vanguard, serving as the first Titan Vanguard. Alongside him was Tallulah Fairwind as the first Hunter Vanguard, while he recommended that his friend Osiris serve as the first Warlock Vanguard and Vanguard Commander.[1]

He fought with Solkis, Kell of the House of Devils, whom he killed by caving in its head with his own. Saint-14 was the owner of the Helm of Saint-14.[2] Saint-14 had theorized that the Darkness was an army of aliens that had been rejected by the Traveler; this was true at least for the Fallen.[3] Saint-14 also claimed to have foreseen the arrival of The Guardian, giving him the inspiration he needed to fight at Six Fronts and keep the City safe until their arrival. [4] At some point, Saint was given the weapon Perfect Paradox by a Guardian - possibly time-displaced - who served as the role model who inspired Saint to become the legend that he is[5].

Searching for Osiris

Saint-14 would later attempt to track Osiris on Mercury,[6] where his trail leads to him getting lost in the virtual expanse of the Infinite Forest. The Titan was faced the Vex for several centuries, destroying thousands of them. Eventually, the Vex created an Axis mind created specifically to drain his Light. Though he felled the Mind, it succeeded in its missive, mortally wounding the legendary Titan and draining his Light. His last act was to take measures to ensure that Perfect Paradox would one day return to the one that originally gave it to him.[7] Out of an approximation of respect, the Vex laid Saint's body to rest in a tomb in a Simulant Future, surrounded by the melted shells of all the Vex he killed as a memorial to the grief he gave them.[8]

Quotes

  • "You are the shield. The Ward allows you to bear the brunt of the impact, nothing more. You are the shield, and the light keeps you standing."
  • "I have found that rarest treasure: a pragmatic Warlock."[9]
  • "A singer came to me, saying, 'You protect me, and I do nothing in return.' I told him to sing, and he understood."[10]

Paean to Saint-14

  • "He walked out into the demon light. But at the end he was brighter."[11]
  • "His Light cast no shadows."[12]
  • "Was there ever another Guardian so beloved by the people?"[13]

Trivia
