So, this has been bugging me for some time, and I wanted to hear what you all thought on the subject. You all know Eva Levante, the woman who sells Emblems and Shaders from a very limited selection. There have been complaints about her selection of Shaders, and how she doesn't really update her stock. Many consider it to be just Bungie slacking off or hiding them in Strikes/Raids or PvP, but I offer a different explanation. I believe that Eva Levante is NOT who she claims to be. The first bit of evidence is her limited selection, the same 4 Shaders, only changing out a couple Emblems every couple days... Every other shop changes normal items regularly, and yet she doesn't do anything to switch out her main product, the Shaders. I believe this is because the shop is a front for her true motives. The second bit of evidence comes from Patrol missions on the various worlds. As you all know, you go exploring the various worlds, picking up missions from beacons left by the Tower. I've done plenty of missions for many people at the Tower, including the 3 factions as dubious as their goals may be. Eva Levante is one of the people who puts out missions for the Guardians to undertake, and her goals are quite suspect at the very least. For someone claiming to be an artist, Eva requests scans of very suspicious things. Now, I know people will say that it's just a matter of RNGesus matching characters with missions, but then why have Eva Levante in the mix at all? There are plenty of different characters in the mission mix, so why have a self-proclaimed [i]artist[/i] requesting scans and gathering of resources? During my missions, Eva Levante has requested scans of Fallen Communication Systems, a Hive Seeder Engine, and gathering of Fallen Induction Rods. Why? Why would an artist have any interest in scans and samples of alien technology? There ARE signs remaining in Old Russia, logos on half-functioning screens in the Ishtar Academy, that Eva could request scanned for inspiration on new designs, but instead she asks for scans and samples of alien tech. To get right down to it, I believe Eva Levante could be the head of a secret FOURTH faction, with unknown goals and ideals. The Emblem/Shader shop she runs is just a front, a glimmer-gathering resource she uses to build funds for her faction. I don't claim to know what her goals are, or what her faction wants, but I get the feeling we'll all find out soon enough! Thoughts, feelings, ideas on the matter? Please post your opinions! I'm very interested to see what everyone else thinks! EDIT: Here are a couple missions she puts out on Patrols. Thanks to Tut813275 for the info.
