[u]The Hidden: Primer[/u] The Hidden are a group of Guardians dedicated to defeating our most mysterious enemies (namely the Hive and the Vex) by attaining a greater understanding of their technology, physiology and objective. Despite this being largely an intellectual matter, members of the Hidden were required to be skilled fighters as well as trustworthy as the Hidden was, an continues to be, a secret sect of the Vanguard. [u]Hidden Agents:[/u] Ikora Rey: - Warlock Eris Morn: - (Formerly) Hunter * Eriana-3: - Warlock (Deceased) * Toland (the Shattered): - Warlock (Unknown/Likely Deceased) * (Theoretically) Osiris: - Warlock (Unknown) Omar Agah: - Hunter (Deceased) * Sai Mota: - Hunter (Deceased) * Vell Tarlowe: -Titan (Deceased) * (* - Participants of the Hellmouth Raid) [u]History:[/u] Established shortly after the First Battle for Luna (when the Hive, lead by Crota, first took the Moon), the Hidden swore to reclaim and avenge the Guardians lost upon the Moon. Eventually, against the advice of Ikora Rey, the Hidden organised a force of hundreds of Guardians to fight in the Second Battle for Luna and take back the Moon. Preliminary success' blinded the Guardians and they were ambushed as they tried to breach the Temple of Crota. Guardians forced inside the Temple by the trap were massacred as Crota himself appeared to lead a counter-attack. The battle became a bloodbath as Crota slaughtered any remaining Guardians on the surface as the Hidden began to evacuate. Crota was weakened in the Battle and retreated into the Hellmouth as the surviving Hidden agents recovered and fled. Moving quickly and (again) against the advice of Ikora, the surviving Hidden leadership decided to strike at the heart of the Hellmouth and kill Crota while he recovered. The group of 5 was set upon by Toland the Shattered (an exiled Warlock, believed insane and creater of the Bad Juju) who offered his assistance. In no position to refuse, the Hidden accepted and set off into the Hellmouth. The group became trapped in the pit and began to be picked off one-by-one by the Hive leadership; Tarlowe was swarmed by Thralls, Omar Agah was captured and tortured by the Heart of Crota, Mota was slain by Omnigul. Out of the remaining 3, it is likely that Eriana-3 was betrayed by Toland. Toland had, up until that point, been giving cryptic hints at what he had been doing since his exile and the group too late became aware that he had been in direct communication with, and possibly now working for, Crota. Eris, now in the deepest depths of the Hellmouth and with her Light drained, was forced to wield the Darkness to survive both Crota's servants and Toland's pursuit. After spending years, hunted in the Dark, Eris emerged changed; her Light replaced by something else. Upon completing Eris' quests, the Player becomes a member of the Hidden and, with Crota's death and Oryx's return, the group is becoming powerful once more.
