Cayde-7, Bungie history, and fan service.
7 has been Bungie’s magic number for forever. Exos have the number designations. It’s speculated that the number represents memory wipes.
In Cayde’s case, I don’t think it’s memory wipes. He remembers Ace. It could be a cumulative total of consciousness swapping to new chassis.
Cayde is also the only main character with substance and is, hands down, a fan favorite. He works as a solid pull for players to become emotionally invested in the story.
He’s also a fitting way to show progress by retrieving his core and putting him into a new body, whereby he goes by Cayde-7.
If it doesn’t go down like that, Bungie missed a HUGE opportunity and it may signal that all is not well with the leadership of our favorite dev house.
I don’t think that’s the case. I’m looking forward to Forsaken. Watch and see. Cayde-7 will be a thing.

2 RepliesCayde's revival would be awful for the story, all of the sudden all the steaks are lost and our motivation is lost. Cayde's death is exactly what the story of Destiny. So don't go around saying that Bungie is making a huge mistake by killing him off because you know damn well that because of this Forsaken will be remembered as the day Destiny's story took a risk
