Devrim Kay: Difference between revisions

'''Devrim Kay VIII''' is a [[human]] scout in the [[European Dead Zone]], helping to aid the [[Guardian]]s in their recovery efforts. As a member of the [[City Militia]], he has a lot of experience fighting the enemies of humanity. He is the adoptive father of [[Suraya Hawthorne]] and the husband of [[Marc]]. Devrim provides missions for Guardians to undertake in his church outpost within the [[Trostland]]. He is something of a linguist, prone to going on long tangents about City and [[Fallen]] dialects if given the opportunity, and is fond of tea.

Devrim joined [[The Last City]]'s [[City Militia|militia]] forces to help protect the wall alongside the [[Guardian]]s of the [[Vanguard]]. He and his husband Marc took in [[Suraya Hawthorne]] after the loss of her parents. He cared for her like a daughter despite her rebellious nature, bailing her out of multiple assault charges until she was eventually forced to leave the city.<ref name="Combustion">'''Bungie (2017/9/8)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Combustion]]''</ref>

After the fall of the Last City to the [[Cabal]]'s [[Red Legion]], Devrim worked with Suraya to gather refugees at [[The Farm]] in the [[European Dead Zone]]. He served the refugee forces as a scout, taking up a sniping position in the ruined city of [[Trostland]] at the top of an old church. There, he was visited by [[The Young Wolf]] and explained to them he needed aid setting up a communications network powerful enough to let refugees know about the Farm and that the first step was clearing out some of the [[Fallen]] in the area. He directed the Guardian to supplies and signs around the area, including a Hunter's mark indicating the basement of the church was dangerous. As the Young Wolf went below, Devrim remarked that the history of the region was fascinating and that the tunnels they were entering stretched all across the Dead Zone. After the Guardian killed [[Skexsis, Outcast Captain]], he congratulated them and asked them to return to him.<ref>'''Bungie (2017/9/8)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[A New Frontier]]''</ref>

When they arrived, Devrim gave them a comm signal booster to take to Hawthorne, who had gone to the top of a nearby mountain to place a signal transmitter for their communications network. First, Hawthorne wanted the Young Wolf to plant signal boosters in other areas of the EDZ. When the planting of the first one drew more Fallen to Trostland, Devrim suspected that killing Skexsis may have angered the [[House of Dusk]]. As the Guardian proceeded to place the second beacon, Devrim took issue with Hawthorne describing the Last City as a prison, despite her criminal exploits there. After the second beacon was placed, Hawthorne told Devrim there was feedback on the comms channel, and he realized the Fallen had set up jamming beacons. Once the jammers were destroyed, Devrim reported the signal was clear. Hawthorne then asked the Young Wolf to get some nearby supplies she had abandoned, and Devrim questioned why she had abandoned supplies for the Farm, but she informed him that she had gathered it for the City before it fell. However, the Fallen had already arrived, and once they were cleared out Devrim warned they would soon return in force for the supplies. Thankfully, the Young Wolf drove them off once more, and Devrim thanked them on behalf of himself and Hawthorne before asking them to return soon to continue their mission.<ref>'''Bungie (2017/9/8)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Calling Them Home]]''</ref> Before the Young Wolf could return, the Fallen began jamming the signal again. Devrim speculated that the Fallen were angry that they had lost the opportunity to take over the EDZ when the Young Wolf regained their [[Light]] from the [[Shard of the Traveler]] and were trying to take revenge by blocking the signal. Tracing the signal to the underground tunnels, Devrim guessed the Fallen were hiding there to avoid the Red Legion's patrols of the region. The Young Wolf infiltrated the Fallen's hideout and destroyed their broadcasting equipment, which would prevent the Fallen from jamming the signal again.<ref>'''Bungie (2017/9/8)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Poor Reception]]''</ref>

Although the comms network was finished, the Farm and its defenses were dealt a blow when the Young Wolf decided to depart for [[Titan (moon)|Titan]] and join Commander [[Zavala]]'s resistance there. Before the Young Wolf departed, they agreed to help Devrim with a plan he made to trick the Red Legion and Fallen into fighting each other for awhile instead of attacking the refugees. They planned on using intercepted Fallen transmission to craft a message to lure the Red Legion in for an ambush at the cliffside above the salt mines, and Devrim warned them that while there was now a teleporter they could use to get up there, the Fallen had rigged the mine with explosives after the Young Wolf's last assault. Taking advantage of this, the Young Wolf transmatted the explosives to use in the ambush, which Devrim approved of. While setting up the ambush, the Ghost mentioned that he would use a [[House of Devils]] accent for the bait. Devrim began to explain what really fascinated him about that accent, but the Ghost cut him off and suggested keeping the channel clear for the ambush. They sent a message insulting Ghaul, and the Red Legion dispatched many drop pods to the cliffside. After the Cabal team was wiped out, Devrim noted he could hear the explosions from the church and that the Fallen and Red Legion would no doubt soon be at each other's throats.<ref name="AFJ">'''Bungie (2017/9/8)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[A Frame Job]]''</ref>

A year after the start of the Red War, the Last City suffered another loss when Cayde-6 was murdered by Prince [[Uldren Sov]] of the [[Reef]] and his [[Scorn]] allies. When news of this loss reached the Farm, Devrim watched as the settlement came to a standstill due to the Guardians shock at the loss of the Hunter vanguard. The next time the Young Wolf visited Devrim, he shared with the Guardian that he had once had a morbid curiosity about how Guardians handled the final deaths of their friends until witnessing their reaction and noted that Cayde had been very popular with the residents of the Farm. He then suggested that they pour out a drink in honor of their fallen friend's memory.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Last Call]]''</ref>

With the arrival of [[The Witness]], the [[Shadow Legion]]  would arrive on [[Earth]] and imprison people in their [[Shadow Legion Prison|prisons]], including [[Amanda Holliday]]. Devrim would work alongside [[Mithrax, Kell of Light|Mithrax]], [[Mara Sov]], and [[Uldren Sov|The Crow]] to form a plan to free Amanda and the other prisoners. Once the Guardians arrived in the [[European Dead Zone]], Mara would use her power to allow the Guardian to travel into the Ascendant Plane and infiltrate the prison from within. They would succeed and Amanda would be rescued. Devrim would later be dubbed a Queensguard by Mara Sov. When Amanda was killed Devrim was heartbroken, he knew justice and revenge wouldn't bring her back. He did not want to fight anymore. However when he spotted a employment of Shadow Legion soldiers who were pushing a group of prisoners behind them, he remembered this fight was not about him, but them. He picked up his rifle and killed the Shadow Legion soldiers. He knew they had to keep fighting because it's what Amanda would have wanted. Later Devrim alongside Mithrax, Crow, and the Guardian would enter the Ascendant Realm, infiltrating and destroying the Shadow Legion's ship to take revenge for Amanda's death.

Despite his older appearance, Devrim is known for his heroics when under fire. Marc in particular seems to love telling embellished tales of his exploits, such as how he seemed as a Dawnblade when parachuting from a dropship into a firefight, which embarrasses Devrim into providing corrections<ref>https://www.ishtar-collective.net/entries/rain-of-fire</ref>.

In his spare time, Devrim enjoys gunsmithing.<ref>'''Bungie (2017/12/5)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Curse of Osiris]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, Item Description: [[Belfry Bounty]]''</ref> He created several weapons for the [[Red War]] survivors and [[City Militia]], as well as for Guardian use. His known creations are:

Devrim serves as the vendor and one of the main questgivers for the EDZ. He is situated in a small sniper nest in the [[Trostland]] church. Turning in EDZ tokens, Dusklight Shards and Dusklight Crystals increases player reputation with Devrim and rewards legendary faction gear, shaders and other rewards.
