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?

Edited by Gnoizic: 9/15/2014 9:30:42 PMWell, it began with the forging of the great rings. Three were given to the Awoken, immortal, wisest and fairest of all beings. Seven, to the Exo Lords, great miners and craftsmen of the Golden Age halls. And nine, nine rings were gifted to the race of Men, who above all else desire power. For within these rings was bound the strength and the will to govern over each race. But they were all of them deceived, for another ring was made. In the land of Mordor, in the fires of Mount Doom, the Darkness forged in secret, a master ring, to control all others. And into this Ring it poured its cruelty, its malice and its will to dominate all life. One Ring to rule them all. The Nine were men once. Great kings of men. Then the Darkness gave to them nine rings of power. Blinded by their greed, they took them without question, one by one falling into darkness. Now they are slaves to its will. They are the Nine, neither living nor dead. At all times they feel the presence of the Ring, drawn to the power of the One. They will never stop hunting you. We all clear here?

Edited by mybohemoth: 9/15/2014 3:21:10 AMThe Nine are survivors of the cis-Jovian colonies who made a compact with an alien force to ensure their own survival. The Nine are deep-orbit war minds who weathered the Collapse in hardened stealth platforms. The Nine are ancient leviathan intelligences from the seas of Europa or the hydrocarbon pits of Titan. The Nine arrived in a mysterious transmission from the direction of the Corona-Borealis supercluster. The Nine are the firstborn Awoken and their minds now race down the field lines of the Jupiter-lo flux tube. The Nine are Ghosts who pierced the Deep Black without a ship and meditated on the hissing silence of the heliopause. The Nine are the aspects of the Darkness, broken by the Traveler's rebuke, working to destroy us from within. The Nine is a viral language of pure meaning. The Nine are the shadows left by the annihilation of a transcendent shape, burned into the weft of what is.

A blatant rip off of The Elder Scrolls.

There's a Grimoire card that completely explains it. Legends 2 I think I got it from a dead ghost on earth.

Wonder if there are 9 elite Guardians that have higher clearance the us normal Guardians. Maybe they are a group of special force type guys.

I hope they are added in DLC as a faction. I don't like any of the current three. Only faction I side with is Vanguard, and that isn't even a faction.
