A Crimson Story
I've always wondered on the backstory behind the exotic hand cannon Crimson. To me anyway, the lore seems to point to our Guardian at some point or another creating the weapon. Then when our ghost discovers what we've created, it begins the argument we get into with out ghost in the lore tab of the gun.
What do you guys think?

If I'm not mistaken Crimson is essentially The Red Death but in a new weapon frame. So a weapon made by a Guardian killer and meant to drain the "life force" out of dead guardians and that is what heals you. Even in D1 the weapon was in an auto rifle frame but it shot like a pulse rifle. So I don't think we created it but it is a continuous usage from the origin of its creation by some unknown mad guardian (if I remember correctly). This is the reason it was banned by the Vanguard and why the ghost has the argument. Great topic to bring up though! Hope I didn't get any part wrong here :)
