Destiny 2 Lore - With Rasputin's return, there are some bizarre questions about Felwinter...

[@aq5426]

The interesting thing that I'm seeing about Rasputin's new iteration is that he's all "well shit, I guess I have to be a god now then. Okay, may as well make sure I'm a good one." Also, I can 100% see Rasputin asking Saladin's forgiveness for what he did.

With the demise of Felwinter's ghost, even though her core remained active enough for us to transmit what remained of Felwinter himself (the submind) into Rasputin, there was not enough of Felwinter, to transmit the power of the Light. Besides it takes a ghost to raise a Guardian, so I guess in theory a Guardianless Ghost COULD 'adopt' Rasputin, and thus confer the Light upon him.

Ooorrr, a certain witch queen is missing her ghost currently. I’m certainly predicting a return of savathun though, in one capacity or another.

It’d be…something…if he were somehow able to use the light via warsats, given they are to a degree an extension of himself.

[@mxx720]

The other piece of this story I'd really like them to reintegrate is Banshee-44 as a clone-mind of Clovis. When Rasputin started talking about having wiped memories of Nefele Stronghold, my first thought was that Banshee's probably got them locked away in his mind somewhere.

[@koontz1154]

I thought he was the true clovis just with no memories where the clovis ai is maybe more like clovis while alive it is really just a copy of his mind. Banshee 44 being the true clovis as an exo merely with none of his memories of clovis

[@xXx_Regulus_xXx]

@@koontz1154 yeah the Clovis of this season is an AI that the original human Clovis made to be a snapshot of his mind that would assist him after he became an Exo. After he was fully convinced that partial memory wipes + Clarity were the one and only way to keep a human mind from rejecting an Exo body, he accepted that after he switched to his new body he would have to have an imperfect memory, so the AI modeled after him was his contingency plan. Banshee is OG Clovis after his redemption arc, and the Clovis AI is almost like a fancy chatbot based very closely on him.

[@koontz1154]

@midgetspinner5354 that is what makes it really interesting as well, because in my mind I can totally see the witness being interested in the non human clovis ai and exploiting the raw hubris and ego within it, especially now that we have "betrayed" him in his mind by not playing ball his way. It could definitely go plenty of ways.

[@xXx_Regulus_xXx]

@@koontz1154 oh yeah, it could definitely go that way, I think the story will for sure treat Clovis AI as a real person, especially after that moment when Ana erased him from the exo frame. Ana and Elsie both knew he was still in the big robot head in DSC, but Ana still acts sick to her stomach like she killed him after deleting him from the exo body.

[@koontz1154]

@midgetspinner5354 I think it totally shows how manipulative he is and was, as well as Ana being so vulnerable when dealing with anything to do with her family. Honestly her naivety in the face of her family when she is such a powerful guardian and stoic person otherwise is really well done. Those closest to you are those most capable of getting through your defenses. I just love how her and Elsie and the bray family has been written, along with Rasputin being more human than his creator merely through being treated as one by Ana and his truly admirable way of thinking of humanity. I can't wait to see how it develops.

[@IASEAGLE5]

I can't help but think back to Moss-2 and his neural implant that allows his Ghost to control him. That was way too random of a thing to be casually thrown out to us during this season and in such an important activity. I get the feeling Rasputin may well get a ghost this way.

It bothers me that when retrieving Felspring, we are told only Iron Lords can access the temple and are denied access even though Salad Bin made us Iron Lord's at the end of Destiny 1. Or did I miss something?

[@quinnhart8438]

I was wondering that too, but I think it's that they are just playing it safe- with so many of D2's players having never played D1, chances are if you had Saladin let us in as a fellow iron lord there'd be a lot of confusion. It's safer for Saladin to lock the doors for friend and and fellow iron lord alike temporarily (it WAS just under seige).

[@H240909]

It didn’t say that. It said Saladin only lets people into the temple when absolutely necessary. It wasn’t necessary for our mission, therefore we didn’t go inside.

[@SymbioteMullet]

In vanilla d2, there were dialogue differences based on how much you'd played d1. I did play d1, but never played Rise of Iron, so my Guardian isn't the young wolf, so i shouldn't get in. Enough of the playerbase is d2 only that they probably decided not to cause a split and just nope everyone from going in. But RoI veterans should get in, definitely. Did you play Rise? Or maybe we can go in later in the season. Anything could happen. I don't think Bungie would remake the iron temple for a quick one and done, too much effort for something so small.

Firstly thank you for making these videos. They help those of us that are new or didn't get the season pass to be more knowledgeable about the lore. I am glad that you mentioned how Felwinter's experiences with death are now part of Rasputin's memory since that was the biggest thing to occupy my thoughts on this after the last video. Especially considering the first handful of deaths after being brought back as a guardian when he knew nothing, was confused, and was untrusting. Your comment about Rasputin now in a way being an iron lord got me thinking about how now he knows everything about the original iron lords like training, how they operated, and the different ways they could use their abilities. I feel like this opens an opportunity to have Rasputin involved in iron banner due to the training, but to also further add to subtype classes in the future to create more ability diversity. After all he has extreme computational power, knowledge of paracausal forces to an extent, experiences wielding the light, experiences witnessing how others wielded the light, and knowledge of how the light can be extinguished. While Felwinter's memories provide most of the listed experiences the knowledge of how to extinguish the light came from both of their perspectives from when he killed the iron lords with siva, and that could prove impactful in future events if adapted against the darkness or to protect the light from being taken out of the vessels it is in.

[@MrKbustera]

No, not necessarily. The warmind is arguably a consciousness. A purely digital one, similar to the exos but at the same time different. The important thing here is the philosphical stance that an advanced AI, similar to a digital copy of an organic human mind, is a conscious being.

[@DeathsPit00]

I honestly think that the more interesting part of this is HOW they got Felwinter's memories. From a destroyed Felspring. Meaning that we now have more info on how Ghosts actually do what they do. We use to theorize that ghosts pulled us from alternate realities where we didn't die in order to resurrect us. This proves that false now. This proves that Ghosts have back-ups of literally everything we are stored somewhere. That's the only way that they would have all of our memories stored as far as I can tell.

[@s_t_r_a_y_e_d]

there's still the likelyhood this is exclusive to Exo guardians. Remember the new lore about the Tex Mechanica guardian with a direct link to his ghost? Machine to Machine can connect easily in a way Machine to flesh can't even in D2's golden age universe (billboarding in exo's for example).

[@DeathsPit00]

@@s_t_r_a_y_e_d That's a good possibility, but I doubt that Ghosts actually work any differently from Guardian to Guardian since they all come from the same source. The Moss-2 link-up IS most likely only possible with Exo since they're both what I would consider Techno-Organic beings and due to this can share a stream of consciousness or data uplink if you prefer. Your theory still holds merit though. Admittedly Ghosts being techno-organic is just speculation on my part, but I do have a theory that's still plausible if Rasputin was made to stop the Traveler from leaving during the Collapse. I say made because Ras doesn't seem to know if this happened or not and it could have been something Clovis did through him. Could have been a failed attempt to destroy the Traveler given what we know now.

In the D1 Fallen S.A.B.E.R. strike there is a scannable in the room after the arc conduit that documents the bunker's boot up sequence to be a time from long ago. Given the fact that Timir was an Accomplished Storm Caller it made sense with the lore that came afterwards in rise of iron after Taken king. Now, fast forward to d2, season of the worthy and an interesting Retcon was done. They took the story of Felwinter and Timir investigating the bunker and reversed the character roles. In fact I would go as far and say that D1 Timir is now D2 Felwinter & Vice Versa. For where the story has been going that switch worked very well. I'm happy to see it play out as it did. One thing I would have loved to see was Timir return after the wrath of the machine raid but now as an Embodiment of Arc energy living within the Siva control network. Aksis' lore card from D1 mentions that while the Siva flowing through him made him powerful he couldn't shake the sound of another voice in his head. I fancied the thought that in order to survive the Siva Purge, Timir pulled a Toland and did the first & only Arc Self Rez but his mind got shattered or scattered in the process. Thus he would become a villain machine god worse than The Devil Splicers. But that was my theory :-)

Thanks for being good to Martin.

That may have been the hardest I've laughed at a Byf video with that "Who are you? You're fascinating" bit about the non-rasputin knowers.

You're missing the part where the horrific genetic disease given to Clovis II was deliberate. It wasn't an accident caused by the genetic engineering, it was intentional. Clovis I had this disease and making Clovis II a genetic copy of himself was guaranteed to give him that disease. He also deliberately gave that disease to Elsie. In both cases this was intended to inspire them. A fire beneath their feet, just as it was for Clovis I. The Exo program would not have been as successful or as fast as it was if Clovis wasn't staring down a horrible horrible death.

Raspitin's family tree is less of a tree and more of a Git flow chart.

[@QuestGiver]

"Rasputin you dolt! You're your own grandpa!"

[@owentravis9520]

So let me get this straight: from the lore we know, Rasputin segmented a portion of himself for the purpose of studying humanity, and that portion is uploaded into an Exo body under the SIDDHARTA GOLEM protocol. That is then lost in the Collapse and then revived in the Dark Age by a Ghost that calls the Exo Felwinter. Without the emotional capacity to understand anger or grief, Rasputin baits Felwinter with SIVA and destroys him along with the Iron Lords as collateral - terminating a rogue asset under the ABSALOM KNIFE protocol. That portion of Rasputin was then reintegrated back into Rasputin in the current season (Seraph). Now Rasputin has all of Felwinter's memories, and he's changing. That won't mean Rasputin will be like Felwinter, it just means he'll use his experiences to make better decisions moving forward, under the assumption Rasputin will live longer than this season. With Eramis going slightly over the edge thanks to the Witness reviving Praksis as Wrathborn, I imagine she'll use her Splicers to hack Rasputin's systems to gain control of those Warsats and attack the Traveller, like it was designed to in the ABHORRENT IMPERATIVE protocol.

Another frustrating thread of Destiny lore to be questioned, so do ghosts keep digital backup copies of all guardians? Our memories, personalities, ideas, thoughts and emotions? Or is it just exo guardians because theirs are already digital? If so what does that say about how a guardian is resurrected? If enough of a ghosts data core is intact could a digital copy of a dead guardian be created like a dead ghost submind? Could those downloads be put into exo bodies? And to quell the fan boys if they could recover Caydes original mind print from deepstone crypt, put it in an exo and then also copy his digital backup from what's left of Sundance, could a version of Cayde be reborn? I'm not saying they should but does what Anna did not imply that possibility exists? It still wouldn't be OUR Cayde but it would be closer than just the original mind stored in bray-tech? So many questions...

craziest family tree born from the wildest selfcest story ever

[@10mexkid]

that was confusing but I am glad you explained. thank you!

[@owentravis9520]

Imagine Rasputin being a Guardian. I see him as a Stormcaller in a Stormtrance, a Dawnblade with the sword stylised to look like the Valkyrie Javelin, or a Shadebinder maybe.

you dont have to have a ghost to wield stasis, so shadebinder would make the most sense

Reminds me of that greentext about the guy saying he became his own grandpa.

We need a Martin enjoying his time off bit in a upcoming tslayp just for the funnies

[@markmittelbach7975]

Now I want to hear Rasputin song "I am my own grandpa"

[@thejadedrabbitTJR]

Would a guardian Rasputin somehow make the warsats infused with the light, or would that be one hell of a reach? Cause I know guardians can infuse their weapons with the light and do it semi-regularly. Also, could a Guardian Rasputin get his memories back? Similar to Savathûn? At the very least, a guardian Rasputin could better enhance weapons made by warmind foundries via the light. Which would be a massive bonus to humanity.

[@captncuddlybear9404]

If Rasputin was standing in a Well of Radiance, would the Warsats get the damage buff?

[@RookieTiger]

I do wish more people talked about the Cabal casually finding and using Pyramid suppressing technology in the Witch Queen story. Why aren't we reverse engineering that stuff? As far as I can tell, we have no other weapons against these ships

[@SlimRhyno]

The Warmind's family tree is going to start resembling the Ptolemy's before too long! 😅

[@jacoblansman8147]

Byf, you're gonna hate me for this BUT: The subminds across the system (both the reintegrated and separate subminds) could potentially be considered "family" to Rasputin in a vaguely similar way to how he regards Felwinter as his son. There was already a tiny bit of AI incest in this (Rasputin1->Felwinter->Rasputin2) but the subminds are similarly offshoots of Rasputin. Using your own simplified analogy; if Rasputin is 10 stacks of data, and Felwinter is 1 stack of that data copied and simplified into an Exo frame, the subminds could be considered 1 or 2 stacks of data left in charge of various facilities. Would they be considered Rasputin-1's nephews and/or nieces?

[@imnoblueberry8502]

Could u imagine if Bungie pulled a time traveling card on us again further down the line revealing that our guardian is actually Rasputin in guardian form sent back in time or something to change the course of humanity’s history, revealing how grim the old timeline would be had we not been awaken when we did. And us being a “warmind-guardian” could be an interesting reason as to why we are so special compared to the average guardian in lore. Just a thought
