## Histoire

### Âge d'Or

Like most Exo, Cayde remembers little about his past before the Collapse.
 However, he remembers enough to provide substantial information, albeit
 he admits the order is out of sync. Cayde used to be a human soldier with a large debt over his head, when he was approached by Clovis Bray to have his debt removed. The job offer itself isn't explicitly stated, but what Cayde remembers next is coming to Europa where he was converted into an Exo. Cayde's Letter Fragments in *Destiny 2*
 reveal that Cayde had a wife and a son whom he nicknamed "Ace", he
threw his life away gambling, and that his only means of escape was to
sell himself to Clovis Bray's Exo program. Next, he remembers being
assigned as a security officer to the Ishtar Collective, where his job was to look after Dr. Maya Sundaresh.
 Though he wished to get to know her better, she barely noticed him.
Afterwards, he remembers being restrained by a shadowy creature on a
destroyed world, followed by another memory which he describes as not
his own.[2] He was found with a journal containing Ace's name on his person after being revived by his Ghost, and that Cayde kept writing to him despite not remembering him and that his son was long dead.

While searching for a Hive Shrine on the Moon, Cayde found a Hive structure and entered it. Inside, he encountered a huge horde of Hive consisting of Thralls, Knights, and Wizards
 and promptly retreated. The Hive pursued him to the surface, and Cayde
cut down many Thrall before running out of ammo for his machine gun.
Taking cover behind a crashed Phaeton, Cayde spotted a Fallen Baron of the House of Exile
 fighting the Hive as well. The Hive pushed back both Cayde and the
Baron onto a hill with an old interferometry array on top of it.
Fighting together, the two killed most of the Hive, and Cayde eventually
 climbed the array to get an angle on the Wizards and saw the Baron kill
 a Knight but lose her blades in the process. From his perch, Cayde
exhausted the rest of his ammo, but only one Wizard and a line of Thrall
 remained. After climbing back down, Cayde saw the Baron was badly
wounded and he wondered how many people she had murdered. The Baron then
 tossed her last Shock Pistol
 to Cayde, but when he went to grab it she attempted to stab him.
However, she was slow and Cayde easily dodged her, and he proceeded to
break her arms and slit her throat. Cayde wondered if the Baron had
truly wanted to kill him or if she did that to make his choice about
ending her easier. Cayde proceeded to kill the last of the Hive, using
the Shock Pistol to kill several of the Thrall.[3]

Cayde attended the funeral of the Warlock Albios on the moon of Io. Although he liked Albios, Cayde quickly grew bored during the long service and made a bet with Banshee-44
 that he could pull off several high-risk jumps on the nearby mesas. He
won the bet, although he broke both his legs completing the jumps. Cayde
 hid his winnings in one of his hidden caches in the mesas.[4]

Cayde-6 was once a daring and adventurous Guardian, so of course,
 he couldn't say no to a challenge - not even the notorious Vanguard
Dare. He lost the bet, to his immense regret. What the bet was over is
unknown but Cayde took over as the Hunter Vanguard when his predecessor
and close friend, Andal Brask, was murdered by the Fallen mercenary Taniks, the Scarred. Though Cayde serves dutifully, he yearns to return to the field, in particular having his eyes set on the mythical Vault of Glass.[5]

### The Rising Darkness

"*I sense a pattern here - a connection between this Vex outbreak, the Black Garden, and the Vault of Glass...I need to know more.*"
—Cayde-6
Cayde was approached by a newly risen Hunter from the Cosmodrome in Old Russia. He welcomed them to the Tower, provided them with Glimmer, basic provisions, and advice before suggesting that they get a new weapon from Banshee-44, although he was impressed that they had escaped from the Cosmodrome using the Khvostov 7G-02.[6]
 When he learned that the new Guardian had found the Hive within the
Cosmodrome, Cayde knew the only response would be to strike at their
strongholds on the Moon. While speaking with the Guardian, he mused that
 most new Guardians never returned from the moon, before remembering
that they were also new and quickly reassuring them he was sure they
would be fine.[7]

While talking with Lord Shaxx, Cayde-6 disputed the Crucible handler's assertion that former Titan Vanguard Saint-14 was dead. He praised the Exo's ability to kill Fallen Kells
 but noted that Saint was also crazy. Shaxx took exception to that,
claiming that eccentricity was one of Saint's strengths, causing Cayde
to point out that Saint had claimed to see the future of a Guardian
savior which inspired him during the Battle of Six Fronts.
 He proceeded to mock the idea that one Guardian could turn things
around for humanity's struggle against their enemies. Shaxx then left to
 watch the Crucible debut the new Guardian from Old Russia, who Cayde
joked could be the savior Saint had forseen and that they could call
them "Crota's End".[8]

Cayde later learned that that Guardian had ventured into the Ishtar Collective on Venus and gathered information on Vex Gate Lord's as part of a deal with the Awoken in the Reef to gain access to the Black Garden.
 He admitted to the Guardian that he and the rest of the Vanguard were
concerned about the Vex, but that the information they had recovered
gave him hope they could be defeated. However, he also cautioned them
about deals with the Awoken, noting that Queen Mara Sov always collected what she was owed.[9]

When the House of Winter on Venus raided the Prison of Elders in the Reef, Cayde learned that they had rescued Aksor, a powerful Archon
 priest. Concerned about what Aksor could do if he recovered from his
imprisonment, Cayde ordered the Guardian to lead a strike team and
assassinate the Archon to claim the Queen's bounty on him. When they
succeeded, Cayde contacted the Guardian and expressed concerns over the
Fallen having located the Prison of Elders and feared that they could
rescue more imprisoned Fallen. However, he put those concerns to the
side and stated that now was a time to celebrate one more dead Archon.[10]

Upon learning that the Guardian had breached the Cabal's exclusion zone and entered the Blind Legion's
 warbase, Cayde congratulated them and planned on telling everyone about
 their mission, knowing that no one would believe him and he could win a
 lot of bets. He also revealed that he was betting a thousand glimmer on
 the Guardian dying in their mission to destroy the heart of the Black Garden, but reassured them it was nothing personal.[11]
 Before the Guardian entered the Black Guardian, they shut down Vex time
 gates in the tunnels underneath Freehold. Cayde was intrigued by the
reports from the mission, and believed there was a connection between
the Vex invasion of Mars, the Vault of Glass, and the Black Garden.[12] Cayde ended up losing his bet, and a thousand glimmer, when the Guardian was successful in destroying the Black Heart
 at the center of the Garden. Alongside Zavala, Ikora, and dozens of
other Guardians, Cayde gathered in the Tower's plaza to hear the
Speaker's address on this victory over the Darkness.[13] Cayde later overheard Ikora and Zavala discussing a Vex known as The Undying Mind
 and its attempts to restore the Black Heart and lock the Black Garden
out of time once more. He questioned if this information came from the Hidden, but Zavala told him it was an old Osiris
 riddle. Cayde commented that both seemed like the same thing now, and
wondered what "undying" meant for a Vex mind. Zavala resolved that they
should find out, and a strike was authorized to eliminat the axis mind.[14]

### The Taken War

Cayde-6 plays an important role in *The Taken King*, aiding the Guardians by forming a plan to infiltrate the Dreadnaught.[15] He worked behind Zavala and Ikora's backs to help the Guardian recover a stealth drive he stole from Rasputin, and then sneak aboard the Dreadnaught using a ship he "borrowed" from Eris Morn.
 For the remainder of the war, he worked with Eris, much to their mutual
 distaste but nonetheless cooperated to bring down Oryx. By the next Festival of the Lost,
 Eris still holds a grudge against Cayde for losing her ship, for which
he tries to make it up to her. However, she won't accept his apology
unless Cayde finds her a new ship.

### Age of Triumph

During the Dawning
 holiday, Cayde "volunteers" his aid and support to Ikora Rey and the
Guardians when they are called to defeat old foes that returned, Omnigul and Sekrion, Nexus Mind.
 Though he did support the Guardians, Ikora knew that Cayde was only
volunteering his support to get out of directing a team of Hunters that
didn't like him. Even so, he congratulates the Guardians for ridding the
 system of old foes.

Recently Cayde made a bet with Lord Shaxx regarding the outcome of a Crucible
 match. Having won, he forced Shaxx to train some of the City's children
 to play dodgeball. Though Shaxx tried to pay him off, he chose the idea
 of annoying him over Glimmer.[16]
 When Cayde returned to tell Shaxx his debt was paid, Shaxx immediately
bet against him again. Confident he would win again, he was distracted
enough for one of Shaxx's charges to show off their stealth training by
sneaking up on him and hitting him with a dodgeball. Embarrassed that he
 was taken by surprise, Cayde offered Shaxx a ride back to the Tower.[17]

### La Guerre rouge

Durant l'attaque de la Cité, Cayde se battit aux côtés de Shaxx (et trouva même le temps de parier avec lui sur celui qui tuerait le plus de Cabals). Suite à la Rupture, privé de sa Lumière, il chercha une solution pour assassiner Ghaul afin de mettre fin au conflit. Cayde interrogea donc la base de données de l'Avant-garde et fini par arriver à la conclusion que la technologie de téléportation vex serait la plus efficace.

Il se rendit alors sur l'astéroïde de type Centaure nommé Nessos dans le but de trouver un téléporteur. Il rencontra Failsafe, l'Intelligence Artificielle de l'Exode noir, qui l'aida dans ses recherches. Cayde finit par trouver le téléporteur vex mais suite à une mauvaise manipulation de sa part, il s'enferma dans une boucle temporelle.

The Guardian traveled to
Nessus to find Cayde to reunite the Vanguard on Zavala's orders and
discovered Cayde trapped within a continuous loop caused by the Vex
teleporter that he had been tinkering with, and worked with Failsafe to
free him. Succeeding in doing so, Cayde ended up on Exodus Black
 with the device he was after, but a large Fallen force was enclosing on
 their position. Thankfully, the Guardian arrived and routed the Fallen.
 Meeting up with Cayde, he was at first only interested in doing his
solo mission of killing Ghaul but quickly changes his mind after hearing
 the Zavala "needed" him. Before departing, Cayde gives the Guardian a
lead on where to find Ikora Ray, he states that they should head to Io, as he believes she would travel there for answers.

Meeting up with his comrades on Earth at The Farm, they discuss a strategy in liberating their home and taking down The Almighty
 warship that will destroy their system's sun if not stopped. Zavala
plans to have the Guardian infiltrate the Almighty to permanently
disable the warship while the Vanguards forces sneak into the Last City
as Cayde mentions the Vex teleporter. They would use the device to
quickly travel to the Cage to free the Traveler. Despite the appearance
that an all-out attack is doomed to fail, Cayde states that its worth it
 no matter what. Suraya Hawthorne
 enters and provides both the means to get into the City undetected and
how to get the Guardian to the Almighty. The Guardian would steal the
security pass and ship of Thumos, the Unbroken. Cayde and Zavala guide
the Guardian in breaching Thumos' defenses but gets a little jealous
that the Guardian gets to use a Drake Tank.
 Regardless, the Guardian succeeds in breaching the Cabal's defenses and
 takes down Thumos. With his ship, the Guardian reaches the Almighty and
 disables it for good. On that cue, the Vanguard initiates their attack
to liberate the Last City. Cayde uses a pet chicken to stage seven
ambushes and later travels past a Cabal checkpoint to set up the Vex
teleporter. Cayde encounters trouble while he sets up the device. As the
 Guardian returns and races to the Vanguards position, Cayde
successfully sets up the device but loses an arm in the process. The
Guardian succeeds in using the device to reach Ghaul's command ship, the
 Immortal, near the Cage and battles with the Dominus. The Guardian
defeats the Cabal dictator and in the chaos, the Traveler awakens who
destroys Ghaul forever. In a massive flash, the Light is restored to all
 Guardians, driving the leaderless Red Legion from the City. With their
home reclaimed and the Traveler awake, the Vanguard regroup near the
ruins of the Tower. Congratulating the Guardian, Cayde and his comrades
begin their work in rebuilding the City and dealing with the present
threats that continue to linger in the System.

### A New Golden Age

Taking
 residence at the new Vanguard hanger, Cayde provides patrol and
Flashpoint missions to the Guardians while offering treasure maps to
some of his stashes. At times, Cayde grows increasingly bored with the
paperwork he's been given and even some of the adventure and Strike
missions, often attempting to delegate such tasks to Hawthorne or Devrim Kay, annoying them.

Shortly after the Last City was liberated, a meeting of the Consensus was called to reestablish its governance of the city. When Executor Hideo
 protested that only the Speaker could call the Consensus to order,
Cayde attempted to use that as an excuse to leave the meeting, but he
was stopped by Ikora. The rest of the Consensus agreed that until a new
Speaker was chosen, they would govern the Last City together.[18]

At a later meeting of the Consensus, Ariadne Gris was summoned before them to answer questions about why her Sparrow, the *Dinas Emrys*, had a dragon painted on it, as some suspected it was a sign of Ahamkara
 contact. Cayde advised Ariadne to play nice with Hideo after the New
Monarchy representative grew angry with her sarcastic responses, causing
 her to insist that she just thought dragons were cool and that not all
of them were Ahamkara. Cayde was amused when Ikora interjected that
Ariadne obviously could not have come into contact with an Ahamkara due
to her poor win/loss record in the Sparrow Racing League, and the meeting ended with the Consensus agreeing that the dragon symbol was indeed cool.[19]

Cayde eventually grew bored in the Tower and ventured out into
the Solar system to hunt enemies of the Vanguard. He captured many
threats and put them into the Prison of Elders. Eventually he gathered a small team of his most trusted Guardians and aided Regent-Commander Petra Venj in restoring order to the Reef, which had fallen into chaos after the events of The Taken War and the Red Legion's invasion. This campaign culminated in a battle against the Scorn,
 a powerful faction of Fallen outlaws. During the battle, most of the
Scorn's Barons were killed, but Cayde and his team captured seven of
them and sent them to the Prison of Elders. Despite this victory,
Cayde's efforts against the Scorn were incomplete due to the escape of
their leader Fikrul, the Fanatic.[20]

### Forsaken

"*How's your sister?*"
—Cayde-6 to Uldren Sov
Alongside The Guardian, Cayde traveled to the Reef in light of civil unrest and a breakout from the Prison of Elders.[21]

In an unexpected turn of events, he encountered Prince Uldren and the eight Scorn barons. When Cayde was beaten, the barons destroyed his Ghost. Uldren then put down Cayde-6 with a shot from Cayde's signature hand cannon, the Ace of Spades. Taking justice into their own hands, the Guardian set out to claim revenge.

## Personality and Traits

"*That's a good job, Colonel.*"
—Cayde-6
Laid-back, carefree, down-to-earth and adventurous are among the best
 words to describe Cayde-6. Though Cayde can appear to be lazy and bored
 with his duties as Hunter Vanguard, he actually takes his role
seriously, more so than he would admit. Originally, Cayde wanted to
continue his solo Guardian career but after his friend, Andal Brask,
 was murdered did he put that aside and assumed his place to honor his
friend. Despite this, he longs to get back into the field. Regardless,
while he may appear to put Guardians on dangerous paths, deep down he
cares about their safety and even calls them his "greatest success
story". In addition, he was saddened at the loss of another one of his
friends, the Nightstalker Tevis Larsen. As Hunter Vanguard, his carefree attitude and playing loose with the rules annoys if not aggravates his fellow teammates, Zavala and Ikora,
 but he is loyal to them and would support them no matter what. Though
Zavala finds Cayde to be unorthodox, he respects him and admits that if
there was anything he learned from Cayde is that one should make a grand
 entrance. With Ikora, she at times retaliates against Cayde's jokes
with witty jests of her own. In the rare moments when Cayde is serious,
the situation really is dire.

Others in the Vanguard are aware of his attitude and while some can take it like Amanda Holliday, Suraya Hawthorne and Devrim Kay, others like Eris Morn
 scorn him. In particular, Eris states that Cayde is arrogant and not as
 funny as he believes. Despite his dislike for Eris, he made numerous
attempts to apologize for using her ship to board the Dreadnaught which got it destroyed, none of which she accepts.

Even in the tensest and harrowing of situations, whether in a
war-zone or on an adventure, Cayde maintains his light-heartened,
jokester attitude, but that doesn't stop him from performing his best in
 a battle. Ghost notes that after Cayde got stuck in a Vex time-loop,
after attempting to steal a Vex device, the reason why the Vanguard
doesn't want him to leave the Tower is that he simply gets into trouble.

When faced with the threat of death by the hand of Uldren Sov,
Cayde showed no fear or regret, rather, he taunted Uldren. When asked if
 he had any last words, he gathered all of his remaining strength and
simply replied "How's your sister?" Even facing death, Cayde couldn't
shake his lighthearted manner. However, his joke only sealed his fate.
