{{Quote|He is of the enemy; I'm not sure if we can trust him. He has a vulgar mouth and an angry disposition that he has a hard time controlling as well. But deep down, I see something even greater. Perhaps he could be of use to us.|[[Ikora Rey]] |quote}} | |||

Hi, I'm Primus Draug'oth! Now, I know what you're thinking, "OMG IT'S A COLOSSUS! RUN!" Well, no need to worry. I've sided with the Guardians to help them reclaim lost territory. Why? Because one: going to war all the time takes some energy out of my system (although my belligerent instincts will kick in when I get angry), and two: I'm so far the only Cabal to actually have sympathy for humanity. That's right; I've seen what you guys have lost and it truly makes me feel sorry for you. In fact, I'm sorry for all the Guardians I've killed since then: I hope you accept my apology. But let's not get depressing, okay? Because I have an interesting backstory that you might want to hear. So sit tight, it's going to be one hell of a ride. Here we go: this is my story. | Hi, I'm Primus Draug'oth! Now, I know what you're thinking, "OMG IT'S A COLOSSUS! RUN!" Well, no need to worry.

{{Quote|Those scumbags got what they deserved, because think about it. Why are they called the [[Vex]]? Because they like angering their foes to death, testing their patience to see how long they can stand their tricks. I heard they even work as one hivemind. Okay, that's creepy. They all have the same thoughts and goals, yet they have different strategies. How does the Vex Collective Mind even work like that? And...why? Just, just...WHAT?!|Me on the Vex and my victory over them while thinking about how they work |quote}} | |||

This battle was a hectic one. I mean, I was still only a [[Legionary]], but I had special privileges. I was able to move towards any line and set up landmines and turrets to further fortify our defenses, although I mainly spent my time on the top floor providing fierce, yet brief periods of overwatch and suppressive fire, because I had to penetrate all the layers of the Vex Gate using the given encryptions. "Well, better get hacking!", I said aloud to myself as I watched the battlefield. I tried to enter special codes, and for a few minutes, it seemed as if it was working, and in fact, I penetrated the cognition mesh, but then my programming was interrupted by Vex interference. They used a special radiation field that shut down the encryption. | This battle was a hectic one. I mean, I was still only a [[Legionary]], but I had special privileges.

{{Quote|So, you penetrated the cognition mesh?" <br> "Yeah, but I wasn't able to get past the other layers. They had some sort of radiation field as an interference." <br> "You know what this means. The Vex are getting stronger. As they gain control over time, they may choose to wipe us all out of existence." <br> "What the..." <br> "But I think you are in a good enough position to start getting in there yourself."|Thru'ul and I on the defense the Vex put up, while also considering me moving up the ranks |quote}} | |||

My uncle loved me, that's for sure. But because he REALLY loved me and I did so well in battle, I got promoted! I became a [[Centurion]], capable of leading my own squads without direct assistance from my superiors. It felt awesome, but I didn't celebrate, because I had another important mission coming soon. I had been selected to reinforce defenses set up at the [[Scablands]] by fellow [[Siege Dancers]], as they were under attack by the [[Vex]]. Rul'urg decided to come with me, because, ya know, we're best buddies. He told me, "Hey, I got promoted too." "Tell me about it." "I'm a [[Phalanx]]." "That's not so much of a promotion, man." "Oh, come on. It kind of is!" "Yeah? Well, it's nothing compared to what I am now!" "Heh, that's true." | My uncle loved me, that's for sure.

{{Quote|Brothers...I believe we are finally ready to set our sights on another planet in the Solar System. We have been planning this campaign of destruction for a long time. We have our sights set on Earth, specifically [[The Last City]], known by those puny humans as the last safe space their [[Traveler]] can protect with its [[Light]]. If we can crack that open, we can bring humanity to its knees. Brothers, rally your weapons, your might, and together, we will grind their city to dust!"|Me rallying my forces to get ready to conquer Earth |quote}} | |||

This was it. The moment I had been preparing for all this time. As [[Primus]] of the [[Siege Dancers]], I had to take over what I saw fit. But I also could appoint positions and ranks to anyone who I noticed had outstanding performance in battle. Rul'urg was my [[Valus]], my second-in-command, as he had been a faithful companion to me. I rallied my forces and told them what they were in for this time around. This was new territory; I've never been to Earth before, but I have heard reports of [[Guardian]]s assaulting [[Cabal]] strongholds on [[Mars]]. Previous reports have told me that each Guardian has an expensive arsenal of weapons and abilities to play around with: three guns (primary, secondary, and heavy), a grenade and melee ability, and a [[Super]] ability. They would be armed to the teeth, but at the same time, they were mere humans, meaning that they easily could've been taken out, and I had all the firepower necessary to do so. | This was it.

{{Quote|A lost [[Primus]], seeking conflict-resolution, only to be arrested on the spot without warning by a cruel Executor from New Monarchy. What to do? Maybe it's not only the Primus that needs to see the [[Light]], maybe it's also the executor..."|Lord Saladman considering who needs to be shown the Light |quote}} | |||

Solitary confinement is supposed to last a century for enemies of [[The Last City]]. That's what I've been sentenced to. There was no letting me out for a long time. The Executor was not only the leader of New Monarchy, but he was also the warden of the prison funded by [[Future War Cult]]. He kept close watch of me. I noticed that my weapons had been stripped from my armor and locked behind a super-secure vault that required multiple passcodes, and had reinforced walls. I was contained in a prison cell in the shape of a cube, 20 ft x 20 ft x 20 ft; definitely large enough for something my size. There was nothing there to keep myself occupied; just a big empty room. I must've been really dangerous. | Solitary confinement is supposed to last a century for enemies of [[The Last City]]. That's what I've been sentenced to.

{{Quote|Suddenly, I feel this sudden change inside of me, in both my mind and abilities. It's like I'm getting pumped full of power I've never felt before. But I can quickly adapt, as I've been looking for a way to calm down and tune my taste for destruction significantly lower than it was previously. I ought to feel a lot more relaxed and comfortable. I know it'll make me feel a lot better."|What I was thinking when Light was coursing through me |quote}} | |||

My life was about to change completely. No longer was I an engine of war born to take whatever I see fit. I will become more sensible as an individual. As I was presented a [[Spark of Light]] by the [[Traveler]], it entered my body and completely transformed my will and strength. Once viewed as a degenerate, inconsiderate brute, I was now highly respected amongst the [[Sunbreaker]] Titan order. They showed me how to activate my "inner flames", if I had any. They meant my vehement mannerism, which I still had plenty of. I've always had a strong mind, but now it's a different kind of strong: it reached a heroic status. All the other Guardians, though, were still skeptical of me. They just had to hear me out; I had to show them that I've made a huge change, particularly one for the better. | My life was about to change completely.
