So, as we leave off from a few days ago, I'd like everyone here to watch this video, made by MatPat of the Game Theorists. He kinda rips on Destiny but deal with it, it's important and relevant to the Osiris Conspiracy.

If you don't want to watch it, here's basically what it says. That Guardians are manipulated by the Traveler, and there is a lot of evidence that the Traveler is evil, Guardian's thoughts are simulated and fake, the Ghost is evil, stuff like that. Anyways, MatPat makes a very convincing argument. And we can point to multiple Grimoire cards that confirm this. Except, one of them, is Osiris' Grimoire. If you recall me leaving off my lost post with What Drives a Warlock To Madness? Truth. Then you'd know that Osiris knew something other Guardians couldn't possibly comprehend, and that is the Traveler is EVIL. Cue Mermaid Man loops!
But seriously, Osiris believed that the Traveler was going to use our Solar System as a sacrifice to the Darkness, and that it caused the Collapse. It's the sole reason the Fallen hate us!
Now, we can also presume that the Guardians weren't chosen for any particular reason except that they can be controlled, blindly follow, kill. Osiris realized this, so he left. He left willingly, but he was also forced to leave. It's complicated, but it was both. Now, in Caloris Basin on Mercury we know is the Lighthouse, and the Crucible maps. And that was where Osiris was last seen, according to the Grimoire. Odds are, though, he's not there anymore. He's either still wandering the Vex portals, controlling the Vex as many believe because of the Sunbreaker mission, or even among the Awoken in the Reef, posing under a new name. These are all possible, but my money is that Osiris learned to control the Vex, or at least some of them, and had them guard his Lighthouse on Mercury while he left to establish his Trials.
As for Saint-14, he commemorated Osiris. He wanted him to become Commander of the Vanguard, but from what it seems they turned out to be enemies. I wonder, what happened between them? Did they fight, or did the Speaker simply tell him he was evil, saying that the Traveler wanted him dead because he knew to much. Again, pointing back to them wanting to control Guardians.
And as for the Sunbreakers, for Sol, they must be related to Osiris. He is talked about when you unlock the subclass, the Trials of Osiris sniper is called Eye of Sol while the weapon you wield in the super is Hammer of Sol. Odds are, Sol was blind, like Osiris. He was a Titan, possibly even the first Sunbreaker. His hammer, infused with the solar power of a Sun-Singer. You can't deny, it seems possible.

“No, not this time. I have word that Osiris was seen on Mercury. The Caloris Basin. He’s turned his mind back to the Vex.”
“Mercury? Too many channels to know. You activate one, you start to feed its veins. He threatens our peace.”
“Your duty, my son. You must never forget.”
“I cannot.”
The Ghost killed the feed and waited for its Guardian’s words.
“Ghost, prepare my Vex arsenal and plot a course for Mercury. That old man is about to wake up hell.”[/quote]

Edited by PROCK7: 10/21/2015 12:57:32 PMCould be the Traveler became corrupted long before the fall and is tainted with Darkness however is not "evil" as it made what it thought were pragmatic choices. While corrupted the Traveler did the wrong things. Now the Traveler is trying to purge it out and make amends. Edit: I honestly agree like many that this story is hashed the hell up after Joe Staten left and Luke smith took over. Evil and Good are not the write words to use to describe the Traveler. Effective or Ineffective are the words that should be used. Some of the choices that can be made in a story can be later rationalized if it lead to an effective outcome. However that's based on what outcome the person wants to see happen. For instance, let's say one chooses to infect a world with a virus that kills 500 million out of 6 billion but strengthens the population so a later virus that would have wiped out all 6 billion doesn't happen. Is that evil? Or effective? Similar, kill a baby to save billions. What would you do? Try to measure the traveler by effectiveness and not good/evil.
