The Cryptarch, or "Crypto-archaeologist" is an individual who studies the properties of encoded matter, known as Engrams. These individuals can unlock the patterns stored within engrams, allowing for the item encoded within the pattern to be spontaneously created and used by the player. They also have the ability to decode and unlock "Encrypted Engrams"; crystals which contain patterns of a more unusual nature, and which may require the player to develop a certain level of reputation with the Cryptarch before he or she will decode such an Engram for them.[1]
