Shaxx and Banshee lore book
Anyone else think Shaxx and Banshee need a in game lore book. I mean they have some pretty cool back stories.
Shaxx is a warlord but also an ironlord and later a guardian. he is the only guardian to use frames rather than fireteams. he fought at some of the biggest battles and lived. he was Zavala's rival and apprentice to Saladin. he killed an ahamkara. Not too mention he was mara sovs' booty call.
Banshee (as far as we know) isn't a guardian but survived the collapse. he know how to build some of the most powerful weapons such as sleeper(D1), thorn, and pocket infinity. he has fought in numerous forgotten wars. he has had the most memory wipes out of all the known exos and has know some the most famous guardians throughout history.

2 RepliesThe Drifter said that it takes about 100 of Shaxx’s frames to take down a hive knight. Interesting.

9 RepliesEdited by Grays_KS27: 5/18/2019 2:16:35 PMWe could definitely use more story on both of them. That would be nice. Shaxx is not the only Guardian to use Frames, he’s just the one who sent Frames to join the Redjacks when they asked for more Guardians. Frames have been in use since the Golden Age and continued to be used after the Collapse, and Combat Frames were in use before any joined the Redjacks. https://www.ishtar-collective.net/cards/ghost-fragment-asylum?highlight=Arcite The Iron Lords died during the first SIVA Crisis, shortly after the Battle of Six Fronts. This was long before Twilight Gap, and Saladin’s constant reminders of the deaths of the Iron Lords also prove that Shaxx wasn’t an Iron Lord (but the Arbalest lore tab confirms that Shaxx was a warlord). https://www.ishtar-collective.net/entries/garden-progeny-1?highlight=Vance (Information on this subject is spread over many excerpts, and I frankly don’t want to waste my time searching for a dozen more links to add to this) Shaxx and Zavala were Saladin’s protégés before Twilight Gap, not rivals (also more proof that Shaxx isn’t an Iron Lord, because Zavala isn’t either). The reason Shaxx has a tense relationship with Saladin is because he disobeyed orders at Twilight Gap. Zavala and Saladin don’t have a bad relationship, but they have had disagreements over Crucible regulations, specifically the use of the MIDA Multitool. https://www.ishtar-collective.net/cards/iron-banner-rep?highlight=Iron+banner+rep At Twilight Gap, Shaxx led a team of Guardians: Nkechi, Abdi, Truce, Liu Feng and Ana Bray (several of these Guardians have been mentioned elsewhere in lore). https://www.ishtar-collective.net/entries/the-mountaintop?highlight=Shaxx Banshee isn’t a Guardian. Like all other non-Guardian Exos, he is a survivor from the Golden Age. He is like any other Exo. His only remarkable quality is his incredible knowledge and skill as a gunsmith. It’s a bad thing that he has the highest number of mind wipes we’ve seen. Mind wipes are for preventing Dissociative Exomind Rejection, where the mind can’t accept being in its new body, leading to symptoms of cognitive disorder and death. Banshee having 44 means his mind has been rejecting its body more than is normal with Exos, and the result of the mind wipes is that his memory is even more fragmented than with most Exos. The most impressive number we’ve seen is Ada-1, with Lakshmi-2 being the runner up. (Information on this can be found on a scannable in Helas Basin) The only “wars” Exos may have fought were battles against Vex during the Golden Age, or in any conflict during the Collapse.

5 RepliesI don’t believe Shaxx was an Iron Lord. As Saladin says they all entered the plaguelands but only 1 left that day.

Sure. It would be neat if we find out Banshee was a total badass but doesn't know it.
