As everyone knows, the Tower recently played host to our good friend, Xur, also known as the "Agent of the Nine". But I ask this question, who are "The Nine"? Are they some sort of elite group, comprised of only the most skilled guardians? When you stand close to the Speaker you can hear him mutter a few things. One thing that stood out to me was the Speaker saying "If only the Nine would help". So are the Nine an elite group which has turned its back on the Last City? Do they only seek glory and wealth? Who are they? EDIT: Apparently I missed some bit of lore, but the NIne are the rulers of the Jovians (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune) and have been altered, like the Awoken, but in a more extreme fashion. Not much is known about them atm. So in that case, any clue on how their influence will play out in the game? How will they affect the legends of our Guardians?
