Purely guessing, but, as far as I'm aware we don't know know what happens to an exo's consciousness when they die. Perhaps they're reuploaded to the original body? So, sure he wouldn't be a guardian, but he'd be alive, somewhere on enceladus in the deep stone crypt.
If anyone can find evidence for this, or completely disprove it, please let me know.

Nope, ign’s fireteam chat asked bungie directly if Cayde was coming back in shadowkeep and they said no.

Edited by Shockwave 989: 6/14/2019 2:13:31 AMI don’t even need to talk about Cayde to disprove this. Do you think Clovis Bray gave a rats arse about the consciousness of the people they strong armed into becoming robotic enforcers that they mind wiped every time they learnt too much? Not to mention turning the human consciousness into code doesn’t work the other way around dingus.

I hope not

1. Cayde's human body has been dead for over a millennia. It's gone. 2. If you move a file from one computer to another, if that second computer suddenly explodes the file doesn't magically reappear on the first.

His mind is still around. The vex downloaded him when he was in the teleportation loop. But the question is if that is going to be ignored or if that will be something that they will use in the future.

3 RepliesOriginal body? Why would they hold on to that? Even if they did you'd think that the collapse mixed with a couple thousand years would have completely destroyed whatever cryo pod it was stored in

Sorry, but that your theory has too many flaws to be correct, though it is interesting. Zelrons also gave some evidence against it. Here’s some more: If that were true, the human consciousness would have left the Exo body when the Exo died [b]before[/b] becoming a Guardian. And then an Exo Guardian dying repeatedly would have insane effects. The concept of Guardians completely ruins this theory. There would need to be some way for the consciousness to be returned to the body. That would mean Golden Age satellites or something, which are destroyed and/or disconnected, so that won’t work. It should be impossible that the original body survived this long. And if it was still safely contained, then the consciousness would be transferred to that body and would most likely end up trapped there and die. And if the Exo body was destroyed suddenly (for example: fully disintegrated from handshaking a Warlock) there wouldn’t be anything left to send the consciousness back to the Crypt. And if this theory were true and worked properly, people would have woken up in the Crypt and been able to leave and spread the word and discover things about it. So it wouldn’t be a mystery.
