Shaxx was a Warlord?

I was reading the Lore Tab for the new Kinetic Linear Fusion Rifle. It’s a conversation between (presumably) the Drifter and an unknown Guardian. [quote]"Nah. Dark Age version was better." "You and I remember the Dark Age differently." "I'll take a hard projectile over energy any day. No better way to make sure the target is dead." "Energy is for silencing barriers. Fists are all I need to administer blunt-force trauma." "I forget you used to be a Warlord." "What do you mean 'used to?'" "I thought you'd thrown in with Saladin and Felwinter." "I did. But I never stopped being me." "Then why—" "'Warlord' is too many syllables." "Gambit needs more candidates like you. Should stop by sometime. Whatever you want to call yourself." "Thank you. You're a liar and a cheat. Stay out of my Crucible."[/quote] It’s until we get to the final line that we realize that this person is actually Shaxx (because who else will call the Crucible [i]their[/i] Crucible?) If this really is Shaxx, then this means that Shaxx was a Warlord at one point in his past. And also explains why he would give himself the title of “Lord”. Then this might also bring up yet another retcon by Bungie because it’s also suggesting that he joined the Iron Lords, yet he was never have said to have been an Iron Lord previously and only just a former apprentice to Saladin alongside Zavala. TL;DR: Shaxx was once a Warlord. Yet another possible retcon or instance of Bungie ignoring previously established Lore Edit: added a correction in the last part. I meant to say “Warlord,” but autocorrect had other plans. Screw you too “smart” phone
