[i][b]Warning[/b][/i] [i]this post contains actual facts and evidence. This may contain many points and words, veiwer disgression is advised to the weak readers[/i].
There has been an ongoing debate about the class of the dark figure (not xur) that lurks in the tower, her name is Eris, the lone surviver of the first fireteam to fight crota. There where 6 people int this fireteam: 3 Warlocks, 2 Titans, and a hunter. The debate has been over whether she was the Hunter or one of the Warlocks. Eris is a warlock and here is why.
[i][b]Her Armor[/b][/i]
First point brought up supporting her as a hunter was the fact that she is wearing the armor of a hunter: the cloak, lucky raspberry, and some say Mask of the third man. However they dont seem to notice the fact that she also is wearing a Titan's guantlets and the robe of a Warlock under it all. Eris may have stripped her fallen commrads of their armor in order to survive. notice how the Warlock's robe is under all the armor, that means she had it on first, before the Hunter and Titan armor.
[i][b]Eris Herself[/b][/i]
Eris's appearance in the tower was not welcomed, manybelieved that the darkness corrupted her. She was allowes to stay only because of the efforts of Ikora Rey who, in exchange for negotiating her stay, recruited Eris into her secret [i]Warlock[/i] orginization.
^^^^being fact checked^^^^
[i][b]The Cloak and Guantlets[/b][/i]
The second point brought out is that she is wearing the class item of a hunter and later sells you the same one. This is true but if you observe the discription you may notice a name. [i]"i'll remember the light. Will it remember me?" - Sai Mota[/i] most people just dismiss this like most quotes in the game untill they see this [i]"Mota was so close -- clawing her way out with bones torn from Acolytes. Her fall -- Omnigul. You honor her." - Eris[/i] (Acolyte Rung hunter guantlets) then they point out that the quote was said by Eris so she must be a hunter right? [b]Wrong![/b]
If you pay close enough attention to the discriptions you will knotice the name Mota. There was only one Hunter in the group of 6 and her name was Sai Mota, not Eris
Thank you to all those who actually read through this, i hope this can conclude the debate of race topic. But if you have anything that goes against what im saying or any ideas of your own feel free to share, or dont. I dont get paid either way

Edit 1: Spelling errors
Edit 2: Add ons
Note: the card i have read mention 3 warlocks 2 titan and a hunter. Ill post if i find them again but it seems from the comments that there are other stating the opposite.... Is Bungie playing a trick on us?

What happend to the team; So as they approached the crystal, toland got an error code so strong he couldn't join the group. Eris couldn't find anyone on destiny lfg so they tried to 5 man it. They realised crota was glitched do they wiped, but Eris and another person didn't want to so the wipers left to orbit to find another team. Eris's companion used the sword but died and then got a bee, leaving Eris. She knew she couldn't find another team so she spent ages preserving the cp. She finally decided to go to orbit to find another team. She couldn't find one so she just waits in the tower for an invite...

you spelled discretion wrong. The hidden isn't made up ONLY of warlocks. Eris WAS corrupted by the darkness...just not fully, so she's still good. Eris joined the hidden way before she showed up in the tower. there was only one titan on the team. regardless of what class Eris WAS, currently, she is no class, as she is no longer a guardian. i'm sure there's more, but i'm busy, and have places to go.
-
Omar was a Hunter, Eris was a Hunter, Mota was a Warlock, Toland was a Warlock, Eriana-3 was a Warlock, and the only Titan was Vell Tarlowe. The cards and item descriptions make it very clear.

Eris is a Hunter. Read the Eyes of Crota grimoire card.

Edited by Meilf: 12/23/2014 3:12:11 PMFew things missing: The "secret warlock group" is just the Praxic Warlocks. Heart of Praxic Fire has a "Praise the Sun" reference. Eris does the: "Praise the Sun" stance occasionally. She doesn't have a BOND or MARK, but rather a CLOAK. There has not been a definitive bit of lore or dialogue or ANYTHING that SPECIFCALLY says shes a hunter, don't quote me the Eyes of Crota Card cause it doesn't specify she's a hunter, rather, Toland makes at pass at her broadly and vaguely saying they will need to hunt because their hunters. Its more than likely he's being direct to her, but this is Bungie we're talkling about. They love false leads.
-
She not a Titan or she wouldn't rob us of bounties every day
-
Eris is a hunter according to the grimoire cards. Read Eyes of Crota. Toland says both Eris and Omar are Hunters. Just because Eris does missions for a group of warlocks does not make her one. And if some guy Eric Osborne is calling her a warlock then he obviously isn't in-line with his own games grimoire cards. Which would make sense because bungie has f'd up everything about this game.
-
She probably died right off the bat summoned an oversoul and then self resd after it killed her fireteam
-
Who cares?
-
It's been fun watching all the debates about what class she is, but in the end... What does it matter? She's another vendor in the tower giving us a few more missions. She could be alf

Eris is a Warlock. Bungie confirmed this. Here is the interview: https://gotgame.com/2014/12/19/destiny-interview-bungie-community-manager-eric-osborne/ Here is the quote: Eric (Osborne) – Yeah, she’s a Warlock, so she’s a Guardian. She’s a protector of the City.
-
There were 3 hunters, 2 warlocks, and 1 Titan in Eris fireteam. In the grimoire card for eyes of crota Toland refers to Eris and Omar Agah as hunters. Mota is the other hunter, the warlocks are Toland and Eriana-3, and the Titan is Vell Tarlowe. The new grimoire cards that can be unlocked if you have the DLC spell it out but you have to read a few of them to get the whole story.
-
She also went on secret missions [i]for[/i] the warlocks. I do stuff for Cayde-6 all the time, doesn't make me a hunter.
-
She's a Unicorn guys. Gosh. The shard in her hand is obviously her horn, and she wears the bandages because she is embarrassed of having it fallen off.
-
Still misspelled gauntlets
-
People that think she's a warlock because she works for Ikora.. Are beyond dumb.
-
Eric Osborne confirmed she's a warlock.

Edited by CRockDad: 12/19/2014 11:49:39 PMThere was only one Titan...Eris is a hunter. Toland straight up calls her one in the grimoire

I feel a nerf breeze coming through Eris is op
-
Shes a Huntitalock so over powered
-
Everyone needs to bump the fact the community manager Eric Osborne confirmed the fact she's a Warlock.
-
How come she can equip 2 exotics but we can't :_(
-
She is a hunter, one of the grimore cards even states this.
-
The eyes of crota grimoire, Toland to eri and Eriana-3 "you're hunters, hunt." Eris is a hunter.
-
How is she a guardian if she has no dinklebot. I've circled her. Looked her up and down. She has no dinklebot like one of the normals in their fancy scarves and toboggans. How can she be a guardian if the Traveler never have her a dinklebot to unlock doors and spout useless facts.
-
Crota's end grimoire. Speaks of eris and the chick looking for info and then find nothing and begin search for Toland. I feel that enough shows she is part of warlocks. Also, her having all that gear, I would pick off the exotic shit too for my own use. -blam!- the dead people.
