Saint-14: Difference between revisions

====Battle of Zephyr Station====

During his first off-world mission on [[Mercury]], Saint-14 had taken it upon himself to evacuate refugees from [[Old Russia]] in an effort to escape the Fallen. Upon arrival on Mercury, he was horrified to discover that Mercury had been converted into a [[machine world]] by the Vex, but his refugees managed to settle down regardless, founding [[Zephyr Station]]. This settlement would be short-lived, as the Fallen [[House of Rain]] had tracked Saint and the refugees all the way from Earth, and they managed to wipe out the entire settlement, leaving Saint alone, pinned down in a [[Ward of Dawn]]. Left to lament his failure to protect the refugees and the hopelessness of his situation, Saint broadcast an emergency signal warning of the Fallen presence in the ruined settlement.<ref name="CorridorsOfTimePt1">'''Bungie (2019/12/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of Dawn]] - [[Missions]]: [[Corridors of Time Part 1]]''</ref>

====Searching for Osiris====

{{Quote|I mourn that I will never reach the heights you have. To me, you represent everything a Guardian can become. Yours is a thriving City. So different from mine.

====Twist of Fate====

{{Quote|My name is Saint-14. They call me the greatest Titan who ever lived. But I would be dead if not for you. Since the day I met you, I swore I would make it my duty to follow your example. I'm still trying.| Saint-14, after emerging from the [[Infinite Forest]].}}

Sometime following the death of the [[Panoptes, Infinite Mind|Infinite Mind]] and the discovery of Saint-14's remains, [[Osiris]] began pooling resources from the [[Infinite Forest]]. With the [[Drifter]]'s consultation on its engineering, Osiris created a prototype of a time-traveling device, [[The Sundial]], with the intent of saving the fallen Titan from his final fate. Using a dozen of his Echoes, Osiris scoured throughout the history of Mercury for the moment where Saint fell to the Martyr Mind but was unsuccessful in his attempts at locating the right time span before giving up and shutting down the Sundial in disappointment. <ref>https://www.bungie.net/en/Explore/Detail/News/48436</ref>

{{Quote|Look at this place! I cannot believe what the City has become. To be home again. To hear of the Red War and see the scars. So much has changed. I was not here when the City needed me most.

Saint-14 would lead the Empyrean Restoration, rebuilding [[The Lighthouse]] and re-convening the [[Trials of Osiris]], which Saint-14 now directs.

Saint-14 was a kind, courageous and honorable Guardian who never hesitated to aid those who needed help. His skill, kindness and compassion made him beloved by those of his fellow Guardians and those who dwelled in the City. Prior to this, he wished that he could die due to him being unable to help the survivors at Mercury during the Dark Age. Saint-14 was also known for being rather eccentric as he stated to have a dream of a Guardian who would rise and slay countless threats to the Solar System, showed a fondness for pigeons and collects "accolades", pieces of lavender-colored ribbons from those whom he personally saved. When Saint-14 never initially returned from his mission looking for Osiris, many within the Last City mourned him; only to venerate him upon his return which deeply humbled the former.

Saint had unique relations with The Speaker and fellow legendary Guardian, Osiris. Saint-14 and Osiris shared an extremely close, romantic bond and it was Saint-14 who made the recommendation to name Osiris as Vanguard Commander. In regards to the Speaker, Saint-14 viewed the scholar as a father figure and the two confided in each other during moments of doubt. When Osiris slowly grew disillusioned with the Traveler and began to bitterly argue with the Speaker, Saint-14 often played the peacekeeper between them. Saint-14 tried to convince Osiris was needed as Vanguard Commander and that the Speaker was a great leader and tried to convince the Speaker that Osiris was needed in the defense of the Last City and not to act rashly in handling the growing cult surrounding Osiris. When Osiris went missing on Mercury, Saint-14 didn't hesitate to look for his wayward friend. Despite their differences, Osiris deeply respected Saint-14 and after finding evidence relating to him, he asked the Guardian to investigate if his friend was alive. After finding his tomb and body, Osiris was devastated, citing his failure to save him as his greatest regret.<ref name="NEtD"/>
