Playing through the expansion, as you continue beyond Beyond Light, even Clovis Bray himself puts in an appearance as a disembodied giant head, sending you off on missions. So, while it may be thought that Clovis Bray’s research may be unethical, maybe even illegal (if he wasn’t based on a moon, anyway) the end result is that the Exos do make a very good contribution to the efforts of Guardians as they try to hold back the Darkness. Now, minor spoilers here, but the granddaughter of Clovis Bray himself is not only an Exo, but a time travelling Mysterious Stranger, and so the lore here is related right the way back to the latest of the Destiny 2 expansions, Beyond Light. Not only does this volume of Destiny lore from Titan Books explain the relationship between Clovis Bray and Rasputin, but it details the early experiments in turning people into Exos. The backstory of the Exos is very interesting, and starts, as so many other things in the Destiny universe do, with Clovis Bray, the man and the company. As part of the process, the person’s memories were wiped, and we all know how well that usually works in sci-fi, yeah? So, it appears that quite a lot of Exos had issues with the suppressed memories resurfacing, making them almost mentally unstable. I hadn’t realised that Exos, when they were created, were made by downloading a living person’s personality, for want of a better word, into a robot body. Now, I may have mentioned a few times about how Cayde-6, brilliantly voiced by Nathan Fillion is my favourite character in Destiny, however while the Cayde we know in game was loud, brash, and very full of himself, this collection of lore reveals a softer, more vulnerable side. Now, War Machines is not just about the Exos, thankfully, it’s also about Rasputin – the last surviving Warmind – and about Cayde-6 in particular.
