we are the darkness we fear

Ok, so I have been chewing on this idea for a while now. And I am starting to become convinced that this is where bungie is going with the story, I'll site as much as I can, and provide all of the evidence I can think of. And anyone who has any other theories or reasoning etc. please provide it below. We came into the game, automatically assuming we were the "good guys" however, the evidence that suggests that we are the evil is very compelling. If you decide not to read this all, at the very least, go to the end of the post and read the grimoire card for the black garden. Let's start with the basics: 1. We are an undead army... Seriously, we are revived corpses fighting slaughtering enemies for reasons unknown to us... Like I could stop right here and have a good argument, yet I will continue 2. Look at our classes. Hunter, a trained killer. Warlock, the term often used for an evil version of a wizard. And Titan, the evil Giants in greek mythology. While our enemies hold titles of things not so bad. Captain, usually an honored military position. Wizard, usually seen as a good magic user. phalanx, a respected greek military structure/tactic. Disclaimer: I recognize some enemies are things like "dreg" or "goblin" which have negative associations. 3. Our traveler.... Our "light bringer"... What do we know about him? He came to earth, and tempted us with knowledge and powers.... Sounds a lot like lucifer tempting Adam with the apple. Oh yeah and to stick the nail in the coffin, do you know what the original translation of "lucifer" is? Light bringer!!!!!!! The traveler is freaking satan!!!!! 4. I won't even explain this one, it's the grimoire card for the legend of the black garden, just read, get chills, the agree with this post below: At the end of the path grew a flower in the shape of a Ghost. I reached out to pluck it and it cut me with a thorn. I bled and the blood was Light. The Ghost said to me: You are a dead thing made by a dead power in the shape of the dead. All you will ever do is kill. You do not belong here. This is a place of life. The Traveler is life, I said. You are a creature of Darkness. You seek to deceive me. But I looked behind me, down the long slope where the blossoms tumbled in the warm wind and the great trees wept sap like blood or wine, and I felt doubt. -Grimoire: Legend: The Black Garden Oh yeah, and added story twist, that A-hole queens brother... Well he's probably good, he knows what we are, and he wants us dead and to save the black garden, however his sister has him restrained. But if that is his true motive, he's the good guy in the story. Edit: This post recently necro'd, which is awesome.
