Theory: Xur and The Nine

So, as I do from time to time, I oggled ol' Xur and tried to decide what class he would be. Hunter, Titan, or Warlock. For the first time, I realized he has a patchwork of all three class specific gear. The hood of a hunter cloak, the bond of a warlock, and the mark of a titan. That previous thought made me simply say "oh neat, Xur is able to rock whatever he feels like". Fast forward 3 hours now. Mid crucible match, I verbalize the thought "Holy shit! The Nine! They're masters of all 9 subclasses!" at my team. I explained myself, apologized for the scare I gave them, and we chatted for a bit about how cool a concept that is. Also, mentioning how monstrously terrifying a striker titan with throwing knives and self rez is. Let that image settle in... So, likely, this is nothing. But it was a cool little "ah ha!" moment that I deemed interesting enough to share, seeing as we really know almost nothing about Xur and The Nine. Please, discuss! TL;DR - What if The Nine are masters of all 9 subclasses and can freely utilize any and all abilities. EDIT 1: I am fully aware this is highly unlikely everyone. It's a cool concept to spark some conversation. Let's keep this a toxic free post, as those are rare enough to come by on these forums. I am enjoying all the feedback though!

  • I've seen this theory brought up before. It doesn't take into account that the Titan/Warlock/Hunter class division is a Guardian structure. The Nine are not beings of light and have no reason to even be connected with the abilities used by Guardians. Also Rise of Iron suggests that the classes might actually be a recent division. Before the City Age you had Guardians like Felwinter, apparently a warlock but capable of using shoulder charge. Guardians back then clearly didn't stick to a specific set of abilities.
