The '''Cryptarchs''' (abbreviated from '''Crypto-Archaeologists''') are individuals who study the properties of encoded matter, commonly known as [[Engram]]s, as well as other [[Golden Age]] artifacts. Cryptarchs can unlock the patterns stored within Engrams, allowing for the item encoded within the pattern to be spontaneously created in a process known as "decoding".

Over time, the science of Crypto-Archeology has divided into two rival philosophies. The [[Tower]] Cryptarchy, representing the [[Last City]], offers its services to [[Guardian]]s freely, taking satisfaction in aiding humanity's effort to reclaim its lost glory and gaining valuable insight into the mysteries of the Golden Age at the same time.<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/9)''', ''Destiny, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire/Allies/Tower_Allies#Cryptarch|Cryptarch]]''</ref> The [[Reef]] Cryptarchy, representing the Reef and operating out of numerous libraries such as in [[10 Hygiea]], reveres the Engram as the purest state of matter and sees encrypting and safeguarding civilization's informational infrastructure as its prime responsibility. While the Reef's Cryptarchs will still decode Engrams for Guardians, they do so grudgingly, and more to further the science than for the Guardians' express benefit.<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/9)''', ''Destiny, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire/Allies/The_Queen#Master_Ives.2C_Cryptarch|Master Ives, Cryptarch]]''</ref>
