His name was Kabr. He wasn't my friend but I knew and respected him as a Guardian and a good man. He fought the Vex alone. This destroyed him. In the time before he vanished he said things that I think should be remembered. These are some of them:
"In the Vault time frays and a needle moves through it. The needle is the will of Atheon. I do not know the name of the shape that comes after the needle.
No one can open the Vault alone. I opened the Vault. There was no one with me but I was not alone.
You will meet the Templar in a place that is a time before or after stars. The stars will move around you and mark you and sing to you. They will decide if you are real.
I drank of them. It tasted like the sea."
That is all I can remember.

You know I read this post and was thinking about Kabr; one of my favorite lore characters. I was thinking about how he took the last of his light to make the Aegis. Thinking to myself about how guardians die. Did Kabr die or did he continue to transform into a Vex? Then a thought crossed my mind. What happened to Kbar's ghost? Was it destroyed? Did it leave the vault to seek out another guardian or did it simple cease to exist from time? That's when I thought about Kbar's words about the last of his light. Did he make the Aegis out of his own ghost? If not his ghost then what did he make it out of? Anyway, just a thought. The idea of swinging around the relic and it being made of Kbar's ghost and the last of his soul, or life force, just made the idea of the raid seem a little cooler to me.
