Equally the Hunter Vanguard, Cayde oft looked the other fashion or facilitated Guardians who operated outside of normal operating procedures. Despite this, he became a close friend of both his fellow Vanguards, Commander Zavala and Ikora Rey. During the Taken War he assisted The Guardian in infiltrating the Dreadnaught to defeat Oryx, the Taken King and later fought beside them on the frontlines of the Reddish War.

Biography [edit]

Life as a Human [edit]

"—then there you have it, Ace, that's why I did what I did. I had no pick, really. It was that or the great beyond. Merely know your dad did what he had to do if I e'er wanted to see you and your mother again."

— Cayde's journal

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 abroad from gambling, and that his only means of escape was to sell himself to Clovis Bray's Exo program. Unable to contact his family, he kept a journal which he addressed to Ace.

As an Exo [edit]

"Things are even weirder now, Ace. This is my quaternary assignment, and I am kind of losing touch with what came before this whole Exo matter and what's a leftover fragment from another tour."

— Cayde's journal

Upon becoming an Exo, Cayde spent some amount of time in the Eventide colony on Europa, at one signal coming across Micah Abram as the boy tried to sneak into Bray Exoscience; Cayde had flashbacks of the encounter fifty-fifty subsequently his v subsequent resets. He continued to write in his periodical as a means of preserving his memories. As many Exos, he resented the need for resets and in his diary logs promised Ace never to permit Clovis Bray track him down when he finally finds his family.

At some point he was assigned equally a security officeholder to the Ishtar Collective, where his job was to look subsequently Dr. Maya Sundaresh. Though he wished to get to know her better, she barely noticed him.

Cayde witnessed the Collapse, remembering existence restrained by a shadowy creature on a destroyed world. It is unclear whether that was the moment of his death or not.

Early Career as a Guardian [edit]

"Cayde is a cunning hunter, with years of feel in staying alive in the wilds. But, um, fighting a war isn't his strong suit. I'm not sure the 'shoot them all to expiry' strategy is going to be enough."

— Ghost

Cayde was found with a journal containing Ace's proper name on his person after being revived past his Ghost, Sundance. He reportedly freaked out right after the resurrection, smacking the Ghost and ran off a cliff. Despite not remembering a matter about Ace other than what the journal had told him, Cayde continued to address subsequent entries to the boy. The memory of him and his female parent, whom Cayde dubbed "his Queen", was what helped Cayde through the toughest times and "fabricated him a better man". Afterwards, in a series of audio logs addressed either to Ace or the possible future "Cayde-7", he would admit he was not sure if the memories were even real or his own delusion he had constructed to "make himself whole".

He manifestly tried to become into Mara Sov's good graces and learn some answers from her, though to what questions remains unclear; the Queen ordered him to search for the Vault of Glass, most probable before the Guardians even learned what it was. Cayde and Fallen Baroness fighting the Hive While searching for a Hive Shrine on the Moon, Cayde constitute a Hive structure and entered information technology. 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 downwards many Thrall before running out of ammo for his Machine Gun. Taking comprehend behind a crashed Phaeton, Cayde spotted a Fallen Baroness of the House of Exile fighting the Hive as well. The Hive pushed back both Cayde and the Baroness onto a hill with an one-time interferometry array on pinnacle 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 Baroness kill a Knight but lose her blades in the process. From his perch, Cayde exhausted the residuum of his ammo, but only i Wizard and a line of Thral remained. After climbing back down, Cayde saw the Baroness was badly wounded and he wondered how many people she had murdered. The Baroness then tossed her final Stupor Pistol to Cayde, but when he went to grab it she attempted to stab him. Even so, she was ho-hum and Cayde easily dodged her, and he proceeded to suspension her arms and slit her throat. Cayde wondered if the Baroness had truly wanted to kill him or if she did that to make his pick near ending her easier. Cayde proceeded to use the Stupor Pistol to kill the remaining Hive.

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.

Cayde-6 was once a daring and adventurous Guardian, so of course, he couldn't say no to a challenge - non fifty-fifty the notorious Vanguard Dare. He won the bet, to his immense regret. It is implied the bet was on who could impale the Fallen mercenary Taniks, the Scarred, only Cayde took over as the Hunter Vanguard when his predecessor and shut friend, Andal Brask, was murdered by the mercenary. Though Cayde serves dutifully, he yearns to return to the field, in particular having his optics attack the mythical Vault of Glass.

The Rise Darkness [edit]

Cayde as Hunter Vanguard

"I sense a pattern here - a connection between this Vex outbreak, the Black Garden, and the Vault of Glass...I demand to know more."

— Cayde-six

Cayde was approached past The Guardian who was recently risen in the Cosmodrome in Old Russia. He welcomed them to the Belfry, provided them with Glimmer, basic provisions, and advice before suggesting that they become a new weapon from Banshee-44, although he was impressed that they had escaped from the Cosmodrome using the Khvostov 7G-02. When he learned that the new Guardian had found the Hive within the Cosmodrome, Cayde knew the merely response would be to strike at their strongholds on the Moon. While speaking with the Guardian, he mused that about new Guardians never returned from the moon, earlier remembering that they were also new and quickly reassuring them he was sure they would be fine.

While talking with Lord Shaxx, Cayde-half-dozen disputed the Crucible handler's exclamation that sometime Titan Vanguard Saint-fourteen was dead. He praised the Exo'southward power to impale Fallen Kells but noted that Saint was as well crazy. Shaxx took exception to that, challenge that eccentricity was one of Saint-14's strengths, causing Cayde to indicate out that Saint had claimed to encounter 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 so left to watch the Crucible debut the new Guardian from Old Russia, who Cayde joked could exist the savior Saint had foreseen and that they could call them "Crota's Cease".

Cayde later learned that that Guardian had ventured into the Ishtar Collective on Venus and gathered information on Vex Gate Lord's equally role of a bargain with the Awoken in the Reef to proceeds 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 promise they could be defeated. However, he also cautioned them virtually deals with the Awoken, noting that Queen Mara Sov always nerveless what she was owed.

When the Business firm 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 squad and assassinate the Archon to claim the Queen'southward compensation 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 fourth dimension to celebrate one more dead Archon.

Upon learning that the Guardian had breached the Cabal's exclusion zone and entered the Bullheaded Legion's warbase, Cayde congratulated them and planned on telling anybody near 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 centre of the Black Garden, just reassured them it was nothing personal. Before the Guardian entered the Black Garden, they shut down Vex time gates in the tunnels underneath Freehold. Cayde was intrigued past the reports from the mission, and believed at that place was a connection between the Vex invasion of Mars, the Vault of Glass, and the Black Garden. Cayde concluded up losing his bet, and a thousand glimmer, when the Guardian was successful in destroying the Black Heart at the eye of the Garden. Aslope 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. Cayde subsequently overheard Ikora and Zavala discussing a Vex known every bit The Undying Listen and its attempts to restore the Blackness Centre and lock the Black Garden out of time once again. He questioned if this information came from the Subconscious, only Zavala told him it was an old Osiris riddle. Cayde commented that both seemed to like the same thing at present, and wondered what "undying" meant for a Vex mind. Zavala resolved that they should find out, and a strike was authorized to eliminate the axis mind.

Cayde-6 plays a very important role in The Taken King, aiding the Guardians past forming a program to infiltrate the Dreadnaught. He worked backside Zavala and Ikora'south backs to assistance the Guardian recover a stealth drive he stole from Rasputin, and so sneak aboard the Dreadnaught using a ship he "borrowed" from Eris Morn. For the remainder of the state of war, he worked with Eris, much to their common distaste but however 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. Yet, she won't have his apology unless Cayde finds her a new ship.

— Cayde

During the Dawning vacation, Cayde "volunteers" his aid and back up to Ikora Rey and the Guardians when they are chosen to defeat quondam 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 similar him. Nonetheless, he congratulates the Guardians for ridding the system of one-time 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 Urban center'due south children to play dodgeball. Though Shaxx tried to pay him off, he chose the idea of abrasive him over Blink. When Cayde returned to tell Shaxx his debt was paid, Shaxx immediately bet against him once more. Confident he would win again, he was distracted enough for one of Shaxx'south charges to prove 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 dorsum to the Tower.

The Blood-red State of war [edit]

Fall of the Last City [edit]

Cayde shooting down the Cabal

"Zavala's doing the hero human activity in the Plaza. Me? I've got a date with whoever's behind this. It'll exist a short date."

— Cayde

As the rest of the Urban center prepared to gloat, Cayde arrived at the Hall of Guardians to meet with Zavala and Ikora and inquired if he had been summoned for a applied joke. Zavala speedily got him to be serious, and after Ikora revealed that all of their Skyline Defence force Systems had been sabotaged, Cayde reported that the communications system had also been malfunctioning. Ikora so stated that the Last City's satellites were reporting nothing, which Cayde believed was skilful until she informed them that they were reporting nil because they were no longer at that place. A massive Conduce fleet then emerged from the tempest clouds surrounding the Last Metropolis and fired dozens of missiles at the Tower. Cayde used his Golden Gun to shoot down several, only was then teleported by Ikora into Zavala's Ward of Dawn just before falling debris crushed him.

Surviving the Ruby Legion'southward assault, Cayde began fighting their legionaries throughout the Tower. As he used his Golden Gun to impale three legionaries, he encountered the Young Wolf and happily greeted them. Cayde informed them that Zavala was rallying Guardians in the plaza, but that he would non be joining them and was planning on finding the Cabal commander and killing them. He so leapt through a hole in the ceiling and entered his ship. Later in the boxing, Cayde was contacted for a condition update by Zavala. He informed the Titan he was depression on ammo and asked if at that place was whatever word from Ikora, and was told by Zavala that she had not been heard from since she went after the Cabal who captured the Speaker.

Cayde was fighting alongside Lord Shaxx in an unknown area of the City when the Cabal activated the Traveler Cage , despite the loss of the Light, Cayde continued to fight and remained in the city despite the Cabal occupation. Seeking to take downwardly Ghaul and feeling like Zavala and Ikora would fail to take action confronting the Cabal, Cayde accessed a still-functioning Vanguard Concluding and asked the Terminal for advice on how to kill Ghaul, after a brief conversation with the Terminal, Cayde decided to seek a Vex teleporter to assistance him accomplish his goal.

Trapped on Nessus [edit]

Cayde trapped

"You're an Exo. Human brain in a robot torso. Weird mouth lights."

— Failsafe to Cayde

He eventually fled World and crash-landed on Nessus, where he met a Golden Historic period AI named Failsafe and found a Vex teleporter. Despite Failsafe's warnings, Cayde activated the device, causing him to become trapped in an endless teleportation loop.The Guardian traveled to Nessus to discover Cayde to reunite the Vanguard on Zavala's orders and discovered Cayde trapped within the continuous teleportation loop caused by the Vex teleporter, and worked with Failsafe to free him. Succeeding in doing and then, Cayde ended up on Exodus Black, but a large Fallen force was enclosing on their position. Thankfully, the Guardian arrived and routed the Fallen, coming together up with Cayde and providing him with the device he sought. Cayde is, at outset, only interested in doing his sole mission of killing Ghaul merely rapidly changes his mind afterward hearing that 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.

Retaking Earth [edit]

Cayde battling the Cabal alongside Ikora and Zavala

"Ah, who needs the Light when you lot've got a fine feathered friend past your side!"

— Cayde-6

Meeting upwards with his comrades on Globe at The Farm, they hash out a strategy in liberating their home and taking downwards The Omnipotent warship that will destroy their organization'due south sun if not stopped. Zavala plans to accept the Guardian infiltrate the Almighty to permanently disable the warship while the Vanguard 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 it'southward 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'south defenses and takes downwardly Thumos. With his ship, the Guardian reaches the Almighty and disables it for practiced. 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 Conduce checkpoint to set the Vex teleporter. Cayde encounters trouble while he sets upward the device. Equally the Guardian returns and races to the Vanguards position, Cayde successfully sets upward the device but loses an arm in the process. The Guardian succeeds in using the device to accomplish Ghaul'southward command ship, the Almighty, 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 Ruby Legion from the Urban center. With their home reclaimed and the Traveler awake, the Vanguard regroup nigh 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 keep to linger in the Arrangement.

A New Gilded Age [edit]

Cayde holding Pigeon Lord, Colonel

"Andal and I used to run with one heck of a crew. This was earlier he got himself roped into fireteaming up with the tiptop brass. Oh, nosotros were legendary. Ran scouting parties looking for survivors to lead back City-side. Mapped lost sites where former tech or supplies might still exist worth the relieve. Hunted plenty of Fallen. Never an easy job."

— Cayde-vi recalling the old times

Taking residence at the new Vanguard hangar, Cayde provided patrol and Flashpoint missions to the Guardians while offering treasure maps to some of his stashes. At times, Cayde grew increasingly bored with the paperwork he was given and even some of the chance and Strike missions, often attempting to delegate such tasks to Hawthorne or Devrim Kay, annoying them.

Shortly afterwards 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 lodge, Cayde attempted to use that as an excuse to go out the meeting, merely he was stopped by Ikora. The rest of the Consensus agreed that until a new Speaker was chosen, they would govern the Concluding Metropolis together.

Cayde before long received a written report from some of his scouts on Nessus that a new Conduce commander from a non-Reddish Legion ship was issuing orders to the Legion companies based on the planetoid. Concerned about another potential Cabal threat, Cayde dispatched the Young Wolf to Nessus to investigate what the Red Legion was doing at the bidding of this new commander. They discovered the 7th Company of the Reddish Legion was raiding the Vex network for information on the planetary makeup of Nessus, and intercepted a message stating that their failure to do so caused their invitation to rejoin the Loyalists to be rescinded merely that the other units of the Red Legion still had a chance to proceeds a life of "opulence". Cayde was intrigued by that statement and was pleased by the disruption of the Conduce's plans. Once the Young Wolf gathered the last of the data the Cabal had been trying to steal, they transmitted it to Cayde along with another intercepted message stating that Emperor Calus had been sending the messages. Cayde ceased joking most the incident at the mention of Calus and quickly thanked the Guardian and their Ghost for their smashing work earlier rushing to discover Ikora and inform her of the Cabal Emperor'southward involvement on Nessus.

At a later meeting of the Consensus, Ariadne Gris was summoned before them to reply questions most 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 only thought dragons were cool and that non all of them were Ahamkara. Cayde was amused when Ikora interjected that Ariadne obviously could not take come up into contact with an Ahamkara due to her poor win/loss record in the Sparrow Racing League, and the coming together concluded with the Consensus agreeing that the dragon symbol was indeed cool. Cayde battling the Contemptuousness Cayde eventually grew bored in the Tower and ventured out into the Solar arrangement to hunt enemies of the Vanguard. He captured many threats and put them into the Prison of Elders. Somewhen, he gathered six of his virtually trusted friends in restoring social club to the Reef, which had fallen into anarchy after the events of The Taken State of war and the Blood-red Legion's invasion. This campaign culminated in a battle against the Scorn, a powerful faction of Fallen outlaws. During the boxing, most of the Scorn'due south Barons were killed, only Cayde and his team captured seven of them and sent them to the Prison of Elders. Despite this victory, Cayde's efforts against the Contemptuousness were incomplete due to the escape of their leader Fikrul, the Fanatic. Even afterward the campaign against the Scorn ended, a restless Cayde would occasionally ask Petra to call for his assistance to create an excuse to go out.

Forsaken [edit]

"Y'all tell Zavala and Ikora...the Vanguard...is the all-time bet...I've ever...lost..."

— Cayde-half-dozen'due south final words.Cayde facing his final moments.

Aslope The Guardian, Cayde traveled to the Reef in light of ceremonious unrest and a breakout from the Prison of Elders. The two testify up and aid Petra Venj in reactivating the security systems and putting down prisoners. The three separate up and fight their way through the prison until they manage to get what'due south left of the Prison up and running. Once the act is washed, Petra alerts Cayde to the escape of the Contemptuousness Barons. Driven to end them kickoff, Cayde knocks out the suspension of one of the command stations and rides the falling wreck down to the Businesswoman'southward escape road.

In an unexpected plough of events, he encountered the eight Contemptuousness barons, and later a fight with several members of the Scorn, Pirrha, the Rifleman destroyed his Ghost. Realizing that the end was about, Cayde took solace in the fact that he would exist reunited with his long-dead son Ace, earlier assuming a defiant pose by aiming his gun towards Reksis Vahn, the Hangman. Cayde was promptly knocked through a wall by the Baron'southward censer where he encountered Uldren. Upon realizing that Uldren intended to kill him, he taunted him with the cognition that The Guardian would chase him and the Barons down. Uldren then held Cayde at gunpoint with his ain weapon, the Ace of Spades. When asked for his last words, Cayde delivered i final taunt towards Uldren before beingness fatally shot in the chest: "How's your sister?".

The Guardian arrives too late, unable to salve him or terminate Uldren. Cayde uses his last moments to make certain The Guardian does not blame themselves and asks them to relay his last words to Ikora and Zavala before he dies his terminal decease. Taking justice into their own hands, the Guardian set out to claim revenge.

Legacy [edit]

Cayde-6 a well loved guardian

"To whomst it may business organisation: I, Cayde-half dozen, beingness of sound(ish) listen and body, practise hereby and henceforth and heretofore leave all my possessions to the person, conflicting, animal, or natural phenomenon what kills me. Aforesaid possessions include, but are not limited to: —The Ace of Spades—Any and all stashes I've hidden throughout the organization—The Colonel, my faithful friend—My debts, which follow:THE ATTACHED FILE IS Likewise Big TO DOWNLOAD"

— The Last Will and Testament of Cayde-6

Both Zavala and Ikora are saddened and enraged at the loss of their fireteam comrade and friend. Ikora swears that Uldren Sov must pay for his crimes and proposes the plan to storm the Reef to kill Uldren. Zavala, still, while equal in his grief, feel that Last City and the Guardians do not have the strength to conduct such an assault. Thus, the Titan Vanguard believes that they must focus on their people and not on vengeance, thereby declaring the Reef off-limits, despite the Warlock Vanguard'due south objections. Against Zavala'due south wishes, still, the Guardian vows to go to the Reef and impale Uldren on their ain.

The Guardian, unsupported from the Vanguard, makes wary alliances and faces a lot of struggles to hunt downward Uldren and his Barons. Notwithstanding, the Guardian succeeds in taking out the Scorn Barons, dismantling their operations within the Tangled Shore and make their way to Uldren within a mysterious Awoken structure, the Watchtower. After a dangerous battle with a monstrous Taken Chimera creature, the Voice of Riven, Uldren is left weakened and at the mercy of the Guardian, who recovered the Ace of Spades, and Petra Venj. Though Petra claims to know what Cayde would practice with Uldren gear up to be killed, the rogue prince asks the Guardian on what they retrieve the Hunter Vanguard would practise. After a moment's hesitation, the Guardian levels the Ace of Spades at Uldren's head and nods in affirmation to Uldren'due south question. The screen fades, and a gunshot signifies the finish of the Reef Awoken traitor, avenging Cayde-half-dozen.

Though Cayde's killer had been dealt with and the Scorn's plots have been ruined, a somber and uncertain mood as blanketed the citizenry of the Tower, as the Hunters are without a leader and Zavala feels that Uldren's death will have consequences in the hereafter. Ikora, while grateful to the Guardians for avenging her friend and comrade, also feels uncertain of what'southward in store in the future.

Banshee-44works to restore the weapon to its former glory and is glad that the Guardian now wields it, instead of the traitorous prince. While repairing the weapon the guardian goes to retrieve part from Cadye's cashes where he left messages titled for each person he through would kill him. Shortly after giving the Ace to the Guardian banshee asks where Cayde is, implying he forgot most him due to his memory.

Currently, the remaining Vanguard members are considering who will take Cayde'due south place as Hunter Vanguard. Unfortunately, however, most Hunter candidates who could fill the void left behind by Cayde departed in anticipation of being chosen.

Later Cayde's death in Forsaken's campaign, a small memorial plaque featuring a golden spade and a golden replica of Ace of Spades was installed on the floor near Zavala'southward location in the Tower and his photograph was hung in his favourite spicy ramen shop.

Personality and Traits [edit]

Cayde enjoying the thrill of boxing

"That'due south a good job, Colonel."

— Cayde-half-dozen

Laid-back, carefree, down-to-earth, reckless, and audacious are among the best words to describe Cayde-vi. Though Cayde tin appear to be lazy and bored with his duties as Hunter Vanguard, he really takes his role seriously, more so than he would acknowledge. Originally, Cayde wanted to keep his solo Guardian career but after his friend Andal Brask was murdered, 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 announced to put Guardians on unsafe paths, deep downwards he cares about their safety and fifty-fifty 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 beau teammates, Zavala and Ikora, but he is loyal to them and would back up them no thing what. Though Zavala finds Cayde to be unorthodox, he respects him and admits that if in that location was anything he learned from Cayde it's the tactical benefit of a thousand entrance. With Ikora, she at times retaliates confronting Cayde'south jokes with witty jests of her own. In the rare moments when Cayde is serious, the situation actually is dire.

Others in the Vanguard are aware of his attitude and while some tin 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 non as funny as he believes. Despite his dislike for Eris, he made numerous attempts to repent for using her ship to board the Dreadnaught, which got it destroyed, none of which she accepts. On the other hand, Cayde got forth quite well with the Reef agent, Petra Venj, and considered her a shut friend and teammate.

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

When faced with the threat of expiry 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 forcefulness and simply replied "How's your sister?" Even facing death, Cayde couldn't shake his lighthearted manner. However, his joke but sealed his fate. Nonetheless, Cayde displayed no regrets within his final moments and made certain that the Guardian did not arraign themselves for what happened. He fifty-fifty states that he was happy that he lost the Vanguard Cartel, for despite the dull paperwork and being saddled to the Tower, he called it the "best bet he ever lost".

And from his death, he will forever be remembered as a piece of the vanguard puzzle that had all the care and heart a guardian could, even at the hardest of times. And in the words of Cayde himself, "A knife, thrown simply right, tin accomplish wonderful things.", and for the guardian inside of united states of america, we are the pocketknife.

Trivia [edit]

Cayde-half dozen is voiced by Nathan Fillion. He has previously voiced characters from Bungie's Halo series, as well as actualization in Firefly.
In Forsaken, Cayde-6 is voiced past Nolan North rather than Nathan Fillion. N has as well voiced the Guardian's Ghost since shortly earlier the release of The Taken King.
Cayde's role in The Taken King was originally possessed by Uldren Sov in the original story of Destiny. Cayde'due south personality is how Sov (known so every bit "the Crow") would take been portrayed.
- In the Forsaken expansion trailer, Uldren kills Cayde with his own weapon, the Ace of Spades. Bungie had erased the original story of Prince Uldren and replaced him with Cayde, killing the graphic symbol off in a way. At present, the opposite has happened.
Cayde appears to not given up his gambling means, even after he lost the Vanguard Dare, as he kept his own custom gambling cards and he was impressed with Eva Levante'southward Dawning souvenir of gambling dice that rolled the same numbers after every roll.
In Destiny 2, it is revealed that Cayde is a Gunslinger, a proficient user of the Golden Gun in battle, and his option of weapon is the exotic Hand Cannon Ace of Spades.
- Curiously, he also used Flux Grenades, sectional to Bladedancers and Arcstriders, to trap the vault door leading to his stash in the mission where The Guardian retrieves stealth tech to equip to Eris' ship, meaning he'south also been a Bladedancer.
Strangely, while Cayde's Grimoire card has him appear with red eyes, his in-game appearance has him with bluish optics. This may be a development oversight.
Cayde-6 is particularly fond of Chickens.
- He has even named his "pet" craven, Colonel, and used information technology to distract Cabal Soldiers during the liberation of the Last Urban center.
During the mission Looped when you meet Cayde for the first fourth dimension he says "I don't accept time to explain what I don't have fourth dimension to sympathise!" as a reference to the Exo Stranger in Destiny's mission A Stranger'due south Phone call where she said, "I don't even take time to explain why I don't have time to explain."
Co-ordinate to Cayde-six, the tank that crashed into the wall before entering the Solarium on Titan was not his fault.
Who will supersede Cayde equally the Hunter Vanguard remains to be seen, although there have been a couple of theorized candidates; one of them is Shiro-4, whom many predict will accept up the pall in Cayde's laurels. Some accept even speculated that information technology volition be Uldren himself, having been resurrected by Glint.
