The Seven Seraphs

[b]Dead Orbit[/b] - Those who believe all hope is lost and we gotta gtfo. [b]Future War Cult[/b] - War never changes. [b]New Monarchy[/b] - Out with the giant floating orb, in with a king. [b]Osiris[/b] - Exiled faction who invites only the most worthy of crucible champions to participate in the Trials of Osiris on Mercury. So, who are the Seven Seraphs? All we've seen of them is their logo. Any ideas?

    Let's break this down. A Seraph is an angelic being that belongs to the highest of Christian hierarchies. The Seraphim (which means fiery, burning ones) are those of the seraphs who reside over god, there are seven of them. The Seraphs are basically beings that worship god indefinitely. Perhaps the Traveler? What they fail to do with this is that there are not [b]Seven[/b] seraphs...there are [b]Seven[/b] Archangels. They just messed up on one point. The Seven Seraphs are strange because there are not inherently [b]Seven[/b] of them, there are many. Not to mention the logo resembles a wing. They could perhaps be the seven initial worshipers of the Traveler! The Speaker could be one of those, thus he COULD be the leader of said group. He does wear black and white while adding on the fact that he hides his face...very suspicious. The Seraphim Vault could perhaps be a place where the Seven Seraphs during the golden age stored their many treasures. The weird thing is, from what I've seen of the vault in videos...it is pretty much empty. Why would they keep an empty vault located in Old Russia? There are Seven Holy Archangels *look at picture above*. Each one signifies a day of the month. This also refers to the initial 7 Sins that are named in the Bible. 7 is a holy number. Now before we get all religious let me just say...Bravo Bungie...Bravo. This has got to be one of the most elaborate things I've ever seen in a video game. The Seven Seraphs are an allusion to one of the most divine numbers in Christianity. Therefore the Seven Seraphs could be a group that worships the Traveler indefinitely. Or perhaps the [b]Seven[/b] warminds.
