Very little about the Nine or the Jovian peoples was known for very long due to their enigmatic nature, and lack of information on their true form as the planets of themselves. In ''Destiny'', a [[Grimoire]] Card, Ghost Fragment: Legends 2, presents nine legends that offered contradictory clues and hints as to their nature.<ref name="Legends 2">'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard'', ''[[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Allies/Legends_%26_Mysteries#Ghost_Fragment:_Legends_2| Ghost Fragment: Legends 2]]''</ref> Many of the entities described by the legends actually exist, but while they all seem to be linked to the Nine, the nature of the connection varies. The Emissary claims that both deliberately seeking them out and doing nothing may lead one to encounter them, as they are ''"everywhere and nowhere"''. The Cabal call them the Ennead, and characterize them as ''"trapped and reaching out"''.<ref name="Ennead"/>
