I know this is a bit of a dumb question to ask but is it possible that Ecthar is not the knight we see talking to Oryx (At 6:19 of the video)? It's just that the Knight rivals Oryx in terms of size and when we fight Ecthar he just about the size of a regular knight. This Knight is the second Hive we've seen that can talk. There was also some talk of Crota having a brother. Beside just look at him! He look's like he should be part of the story A LOT more! I don't know, maybe I'm just being a fool but I just feel like he should have been a raid boss in King's fall or something. AT least give him a grimore card so we can know why he looks so different.

Cut content confirmed

How come he has son many eyes -- not the typical 3??
-
He's uh... he's way smaller than Oryx in the cutscene. But yes, more lore on him would be lovely.

I also want to know this

Popular belief

He has a very unique look to him. It's likely the same one.
-
Wait, we fought that knight next to Oryx? When?
-
He probably looks different for the very reason that oryx's sword is so much more brutal looking than other hive swords; murder. The appearance of hive swords is actually explained in one of the many lore videos on youtube, but it's because of murder.

I'm pretty sure it is him, though it would've been nice for him to have a strike, considering he is not only the Sword of Oryx, but he has a lightsaber. A LIGHTSABER!
