'''Cayde-6''' | '''Cayde-6''' is an [[Exo]] [[Guardian]] and former [[Vanguard]] for the [[Hunter]] class who was partnered with the [[Ghost]] [[Sundance]]. A famous explorer and adventurer in his younger days, Cayde ran with a pack of Hunters that included [[Shiro-4]] and [[Andal Brask]], his predecessor as Hunter Vanguard. After Andal was murdered by [[Taniks, the Scarred]], whom Cayde was believed to have previously killed, Cayde took up his friend's post in the [[Tower]] despite his hatred of being stuck doing paperwork and unable to go on missions. | ||
As the Hunter Vanguard, Cayde often looked the other way or facilitated Guardians who operated outside of normal operating procedures. Despite this, he became a close friend of both his fellow Vanguards, Commander [[Zavala]] and [[Ikora Rey]]. During the [[Taken War]] he assisted [[The Guardian]] in infiltrating the [[Dreadnaught]] to defeat [[Oryx, the Taken King]] and later fought beside them on the frontlines of the [[Red War]]. His experiences in the Red War led Cayde to leave his duties in [[The Last City]] frequently to return to field missions, leading to his demise in the [[Prison of Elders]] at the hands of [[Uldren Sov]] and the [[Scorn]] [[Baron]]s. | As the Hunter Vanguard, Cayde often looked the other way or facilitated Guardians who operated outside of normal operating procedures.

While searching for a [[Hive]] Shrine on the [[Moon]], Cayde found a [[Hive]] structure and entered it. Inside, he encountered a huge horde of Hive consisting of [[Thrall]]s, [[Knight]]s, and [[Wizard]]s and promptly retreated. The Hive pursued him to the surface, and Cayde cut down many Thrall before running out of ammo for his [[Machine Gun]]. Taking cover behind a crashed Phaeton, Cayde spotted a [[Fallen]] [[Exile Baroness|Baroness]] of the [[House of Exile]] fighting the Hive as well. The Hive pushed back both Cayde and the Baroness onto a hill with an old interferometry array on top of it. Fighting together, the two killed most of the Hive and Cayde eventually climbed the array to get an angle on the Wizards and saw the Baroness kill a Knight but lose her blades in the process. From his perch, Cayde exhausted the rest of his ammo, but only one Wizard and a line of Thral remained. After climbing back down, Cayde saw the Baroness was badly wounded and he wondered how many people she had murdered. The Baroness then tossed her last [[Shock Pistol]] to Cayde, but when he went to grab it she attempted to stab him. However, she was slow and Cayde easily dodged her, and he proceeded to break her arms and slit her throat. Cayde wondered if the Baroness had truly wanted to kill him or if she did that to make his choice about ending her easier. Cayde proceeded to use the [[Shock Pistol]] to kill the remaining Hive.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Fallen#Ghost_Fragment:_Fallen|Ghost Fragment: Fallen]]''</ref> | While searching for a [[Hive]] Shrine on the [[Moon]], Cayde found a [[Hive]] structure and entered it.

Cayde attended the funeral of the Warlock [[Albios]] on the moon of [[Io]]. Although he liked [[Albios]], Cayde quickly grew bored during the long service and made a bet with [[Banshee-44]] that he could pull off several high-risk jumps on the nearby mesas. He won the bet, although he broke both his legs completing the jumps.

Cayde-6 was once a daring and adventurous [[Guardian]], so of course, he couldn't say no to a challenge - not even the notorious [[Vanguard]] Dare. He won the bet, to his immense regret. It is implied the bet was on who could kill the Fallen mercenary [[Taniks, the Scarred]], but Cayde took over as the Hunter Vanguard when his predecessor and close friend, [[Andal Brask]], was murdered by the mercenary. Though Cayde serves dutifully, he yearns to return to the field, in particular having his eyes set on the mythical [[Vault of Glass]].<ref>'''Bungie (2014-9-9)''', ''Destiny PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Allies#Hunter_Vanguard|Hunter Vanguard]]''</ref> | Cayde-6 was once a daring and adventurous [[Guardian]], so of course, he couldn't say no to a challenge - not even the notorious [[Vanguard]] Dare.

Cayde was approached by [[The Guardian]] who was recently risen in the [[Cosmodrome]] in [[Old Russia]]. He welcomed them to the Tower, provided them with [[Glimmer]], basic provisions, and advice before suggesting that they get a new weapon from [[Banshee-44]], although he was impressed that they had escaped from the [[Cosmodrome]] using the [[Khvostov 7G-02]].<ref>''' Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[A Hunter Rises]]''</ref> When he learned that the new [[Guardian]] had found the Hive within the [[Cosmodrome]], Cayde knew the only response would be to strike at their strongholds on the Moon.

When the [[House of Winter]] on Venus raided the [[Prison of Elders]] in the Reef, Cayde learned that they had rescued [[Aksor, Archon Priest|Aksor]], a powerful [[Archon]] priest. Concerned about what Aksor could do if he recovered from his imprisonment, Cayde ordered the Guardian to lead a strike team and assassinate the Archon to claim the Queen's bounty on him. When they succeeded, Cayde contacted the Guardian and expressed concerns over the Fallen having located the Prison of Elders and feared that they could rescue more imprisoned Fallen. However, he put those concerns to the side and stated that now was a time to celebrate one more dead Archon.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Winter's Run]]''</ref> | When the [[House of Winter]] on Venus raided the [[Prison of Elders]] in the Reef, Cayde learned that they had rescued [[Aksor, Archon Priest|Aksor]], a powerful [[Archon]] priest.

Upon learning that the Guardian had breached the [[Cabal]]'s exclusion zone and entered the [[Blind Legion]]'s warbase, Cayde congratulated them and planned on telling everyone about their mission, knowing that no one would believe him and he could win a lot of bets. He also revealed that he was betting a thousand glimmer on the Guardian dying in their mission to destroy the heart of the Black Garden, but reassured them it was nothing personal.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire: Activities/Story:_Mars,_Meridian_Bay#The_Garden.27s_Spire|The Garden's Spire]]''</ref> Before the Guardian entered the Black Garden, they shut down Vex time gates in the tunnels underneath Freehold.

Meeting up with his comrades on Earth at [[The Farm]], they discuss a strategy in liberating their home and taking down [[The Almighty]] warship that will destroy their system's sun if not stopped. Zavala plans to have the Guardian infiltrate the Almighty to permanently disable the warship while the Vanguard forces sneak into the Last City as Cayde mentions the Vex teleporter. They would use the device to quickly travel to the Cage to free the Traveler. Despite the appearance that an all-out attack is doomed to fail, Cayde states that it's worth it no matter what. [[Suraya Hawthorne]] enters and provides both the means to get into the City undetected and how to get the Guardian to the Almighty. The Guardian would steal the security pass and ship of Thumos, the Unbroken. Cayde and Zavala guide the Guardian in breaching Thumos' defenses but gets a little jealous that the Guardian gets to use a [[Drake Tank]]. Regardless, the Guardian succeeds in breaching the Cabal's defenses and takes down Thumos. With his ship, the Guardian reaches the Almighty and disables it for good. On that cue, the Vanguard initiates their attack to liberate the Last City. Cayde uses a pet chicken to stage seven ambushes and later travels past a Cabal checkpoint to set up the Vex teleporter. Cayde encounters trouble while he sets up the device. As the Guardian returns and races to the Vanguards position, Cayde successfully sets up the device but loses an arm in the process. The Guardian succeeds in using the device to reach Ghaul's command ship, the Almighty, near the Cage and battles with the Dominus. The Guardian defeats the Cabal dictator and in the chaos, the Traveler awakens who destroys Ghaul forever. In a massive flash, the Light is restored to all Guardians, driving the leaderless Red Legion from the City. With their home reclaimed and the Traveler awake, the Vanguard regroup near the ruins of the Tower. Congratulating the Guardian, Cayde and his comrades begin their work in rebuilding the City and dealing with the present threats that continue to linger in the System. | Meeting up with his comrades on Earth at [[The Farm]], they discuss a strategy in liberating their home and taking down [[The Almighty]] warship that will destroy their system's sun if not stopped.

Cayde encounters trouble while he sets up the device. As the Guardian returns and races to the Vanguards position, Cayde successfully sets up the device but loses an arm in the process. The Guardian succeeds in using the device to reach Ghaul's command ship, the Almighty, near the Cage and battles with the Dominus. The Guardian defeats the Cabal dictator and in the chaos, the Traveler awakens who destroys Ghaul forever. In a massive flash, the Light is restored to all Guardians, driving the leaderless Red Legion from the City. With their home reclaimed and the Traveler awake, the Vanguard regroup near the ruins of the Tower. Congratulating the Guardian, Cayde and his comrades begin their work in rebuilding the City and dealing with the present threats that continue to linger in the System. | ||

Cayde advised Ariadne to play nice with Hideo after the New Monarchy representative grew angry with her sarcastic responses, causing her to insist that she just thought dragons were cool and that not all of them were Ahamkara.

The three split up and fight their way through the prison until they manage to get what's left of the Prison up and running. Once the deed is done, Petra alerts Cayde to the escape of the Scorn Barons. Driven to stop them first, Cayde knocks out the suspension of one of the control stations and rides the falling wreck down to the Baron's escape route. | ||
In an unexpected turn of events, he encountered the eight [[Scorn]] barons, and after a fight with several members of the Scorn, [[Pirrha, the Rifleman]] destroyed his [[Ghost]]. Realizing that the end was near, Cayde took solace in the fact that he would be reunited with his long-dead son Ace, before assuming a defiant pose by aiming his gun towards [[Reksis Vahn, the Hangman]]. Cayde was promptly knocked through a wall by the Baron's censer where he encountered Uldren.

Uldren then held Cayde at gunpoint with his own weapon, the [[Ace of Spades]].

Laid-back, carefree, down-to-earth, reckless, and adventurous are among the best words to describe Cayde-6. Though Cayde can appear to be lazy and bored with his duties as Hunter Vanguard, he actually takes his role seriously, more so than he would admit. Originally, Cayde wanted to continue his solo Guardian career but after his friend [[Andal Brask]] was murdered, he put that aside and assumed his place to honor his friend. Despite this, he longs to get back into the field. Regardless, while he may appear to put Guardians on dangerous paths, deep down he cares about their safety and even calls them his "greatest success story". In addition, he was saddened at the loss of another one of his friends, the Nightstalker [[Tevis Larsen]]. As Hunter Vanguard, his carefree attitude and playing loose with the rules annoys if not aggravates his fellow teammates, [[Zavala]] and [[Ikora]], but he is loyal to them and would support them no matter what. Though Zavala finds Cayde to be unorthodox, he respects him and admits that if there was anything he learned from Cayde it's the tactical benefit of a grand entrance. With Ikora, she at times retaliates against Cayde's jokes with witty jests of her own. In the rare moments when Cayde is serious, the situation really is dire. | Laid-back, carefree, down-to-earth, reckless, and adventurous are among the best words to describe Cayde-6.
