Unlike mass-produced robotic [[frame]]s, Exos are human minds uploaded in artificial bodies; with the notable exception of [[Felwinter]], each and every Exo used to be a human being. Before uploading technology was developed by [[Clovis Bray (corporation)|Clovis Bray corporation]] during the Golden Age; many Exos come from the mysterious [[Deep Stone Crypt]] on [[Europa]]. Exo names typically include the number of memory-wiping "reboots" of their brain, e.g. [[Cayde-6]] or [[Saint-14]]. While not being biologically "alive", Exos retain many human qualities and habits; just like any living being, they have [[Light]] of their own. They can die and be revived by a [[Ghost]]. | Unlike mass-produced robotic [[frame]]s, Exos are human minds uploaded in artificial bodies; with the notable exception of [[Felwinter]], each and every Exo used to be a human being.

The Exos were once involved in an ancient conflict, and [[Rasputin]] was once involved in their command, a fact that some Exos dimly remember.
