[quote]The Darkness is a primordial entity, like the Traveler. Also like the Traveler, it can give its power to anyone it wants. It also has the ability to directly corrupt a being and take control (Taken) or even gift them to another entity. It has an end goal of conquering all that can't bear its might. It also changes shape, which might be why the Hive call it the Formless One. Apparently it can appear as simple black tendrils. [/quote] That black tendrils part reminds me of Xur. Could he and The Nine be related to the darkness?
