Everything to know about the Exo Stranger

The stranger doesn't have the time to tell you why she doesn't have time to tell you why she doesn't have time to tell you why she doesn't have time to tell you [b]HER -blam!-ING NAME[/b] [i]that honestly bugged me[/i] Hopefully I and the help of others can clear up a bit of the mystery around her. [b]Here's what we know about her from in-game experiences[/b] She contacts you from the Ishtar region on Venus She fights a war with the Vex She reports to someone who we don't as of yet know She is no longer, but may have once been, a guardian She was not "forged in light" She is an exo She has a gun from the future, and gave it to you [i]If anyone has anything else they feel may be important please comment below[/i] [b]This is the information about The Exo Stranger from the grimoire cards[/b] [quote]Some Believe shes the last of an ancient exo squadron, fighting a long-forgotten war.[/quote] [i]this has importance that i'll explain in theories.[/i] Ghost Fragment: The Exo Stranger details how she stands where she has stood before. She clearly travels through time, and i fell she stands where she will one day die. [quote]There are always the dead. Their names shift. Sometimes i think i see myself among the dead. But i am resolute[/quote] . This is honestly all the information i am positive is about her. but there is another that I have seen as an argument of her origin. Ghost Fragment: Future War Cult. The short version of this is that the FWC has obtained a device that is capable to use and see the future. Every future gazed upon told the destruction of the Human/Awoken/Exo race, by the Vex. The Vex destroyed the tower in one timelime, the darkness wins no matter what we did. The machine was very hazardous to a human/awoken however; so only an Exo would be able to fully withstand its power. If you have read the card directly you'll notice that they talk to a ghost, this is not the being spoken to in the quote I'll add below. Luckily they had a that they found dead on the battle field. [i]Remember what i said about the first quote[/i] They ask this Exo to step into the machine, and prepare to travel.[quote]We found you in pieces in Siberia, and repaired you as well as we could. What do you say? Are you well enough to travel?[/quote][i]I understand why people who have read the grimoire will fight that they sent a ghost into the future. But i firmly believe that it was ALL misdirection. The main reason why i say this is Banshee. He isn't as useless as everyone says, simply the old man who tells an important story.[/i] Banshee's quotes:[quote]Had these with us at Twilight Gap. Went pretty badly. Not the gun's fault.(This shows banshee was a soldier once) What was the name of that officer? Only I remember her, and so little. How her rifle jammed, then gone. What was her name. Fierce eyes, full of light. The hell was it. Best Exo I ever served under up and vanished one night. That's war. How many times has my system been wiped. 41, 42, 43?[/quote] [i]These quotes from banshee can be heard just by hanging out with him. He talks of an Exo who fell, possibly since he was with her which means the all Exo squadron i mentioned earlier. His system has been wiped so his memories aren't exactly in tact. I think "She" fell in Siberia, only to be found by the FWC and rebuilt.[/i] So let's assume I'm correct here. That means we have here the importance of her origins, but there's more to her. If she was sent into the future, and she is currently involved in an insurgency against the Vex, who leads it? I don't think it's her. I hope you have read everything you need to know about the Vex, because as i said for another post and here it is. When Kabr went into the Vault, he gave us our only hope in defeating Atheon. He gave up his own light, but not his life, to create the Aegis. As said previously, he knew he would talk again, but not as himself. People seem to think that this was his fate. But what if it was another's? I think it was Praedyth's. Recently I've discussed the Vex with another player. They brought to my attention that the Sol Progeny translates into sun descendant. This could mean descendant of the sun [i]light[/i]. What if the traveler made the Vex, not maliciously, but still created them. They observed the traveler and saw potential to surpass it, and set about to do so. In their advancement they discovered the Darkness, which was clearly harder to comprehend and etc... from that point its already been explained in my previous post. If Atheon was truly against the Darkness this could be why he would send Praedyth into the future to fight them at their strongest. It could also be why he drops the Vex Mythoclast. This gun has been said to have actually been made in the future [i]obviously not though its only 323 damage :p[/i] and is only given to the worthy to fight off the Hive and more importantly Crota. And think about it. If hard mode is the mode that counts, a solar primary is definitely something to have. This heavily implies that the Hive are strongly in league with the darkness, but as always, that's for another post. thankyou for reading this entry.

  • I think I know how she is able to time travel and its not just through "future technology". From the Books of Sorrow, it is said that Crota ripped a hole in Oryx's throne world and the Vex came out. Also, through these cards, it can be determined that the Vex have their own world. There is a post somewhere in the Collective about it. The Stranger is obviously mainly aiming her fight at the Vex. Vex are well known to be able to travel through time. I believe that The Stranger may have gone through a Vex timegate and ended up in the Vex world. Maybe she obtained something there are a side effect of entering that world, gave her the ability to teleport and maybe even travel through time.

  • How did bungie come up with this? And then implement it into a game where people had given bits of info that only intelligent and thoughtful people would figure out?

  • What if she is just insane? What if she thinks shes at war and when she returns to orbit (teleports) shes just returning to another guardian to spout the exact same nonsense? I believe her mind is so corrupted (from damage or simply not having her ghost to guide her) she just keeps repeating an endless loop. Her "futuristic" gun is subpar, her gear is basic, perhaps she is lost in time but just within her own mind rather than actually time traveling.

  • On a lighter note the number of exo namefor example banshee 44 seems to be the number of times they have been wiped or rebooted as per say when banshee quotes the number of times 41 42 43 and I watched a video a while back someone's theory behind destiny it's tricky to explain but quite simple to understand. He explained how life had repeated itself over and over where history sort of repeats itself like the first cut scene where you see three astronauts on the planet you see them walking the same path but the back round environment shows dramatic changes mountains shifting and so on he was explaining that that was the past repeating everytime but billions of years apart as it would take that long for a mountains formation to change but this could also explain the time travel with the stranger but she always knows when you are every time at that certain point I'd try finding the video to link it its rather interesting and explains it better than I do

      • She's an exo, probably doesn't have a name. Just a number, marking her as a soldier.

      • She is not forged in light like most exos, but is fighting against the darkness. Could she have been a creation of Bob and has turned away from him. Possibly due to Atheon. Maybe VOG is not a throne or chamber of prizes but a prison for Atheon because he as turned against bob. Or maybe both. In cards it asks if Atheon created the vault or the vault created atheon. Maybe this was built to be a throne room for him but something happened and he turned against bob and it became a prison. He is stuck in this place, allowed to travel forward in time and backwards. Or possibily these are doors to other realities where he can see what will happen. Atheon is said to build time confluxs. Why are these built? If vex can communicate instantly between millions of minds what is the point of random confulxs in lightly gaurded areas? Maybe Atheon is building these to assist guardians to destroy the Vex and Bob. This is all crazy assumptions but I want to go further in. If Atheon can see what will come by traveling into the future and he is against Bob, why fight him? We don't understand that, and he knows we dont. So Atheon sends us through time trying hoping we will see what needs to be done. He knows what he fate will most likely be, so he creates the mythoclast. He hopes that even in his death in this reality that by dropping it we will understand that he was doing it all to help us defeat Bob. The first step to defeating bob is defeating his minions. The vex are held away from the traveler and the only ones left are the Hive. So this gun is designed to take out hive and crota. This weakens Bob and allows the Traveler to regain some health and ground.

          • Maybe a future war cult secret soldier? She has a future weapon, so maybe they had some darker connections to the time travel development from vex

            • [url=https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/97911355/0/0/1]Possible info on the Exo Stranger from the book The Art of Destiny[/url] (Expand the replies to [b]waffleking38[/b]'s post) Please note, I have not verified the information from that link due to not having a copy of The Art of Destiny. I have sent a pm to [b]waffleking38[/b] asking for a photo or scan from the page in question, but have not received a reply. I am contemplating buying a copy of the book off of Amazon, but my family can use the cash better on other things right now. My theory, which is based upon this potential information from the art book, is that the Exo Stranger is the first Exo built, by the Future War Cult, specifically for the purpose of using the machine that sees into the future. She/it (can a machine have a gender?) is now able to transcend time and space, much like the Vex, for the purpose of fighting a war against the Vex/the Darkness. Please give my theory a read and let me know your thoughts.

              • I pray you aren't insinuating that the Stranger is Praedyth. Praedyth may not even be, or have been, a Guardian. For all we know he is a Vex Mind like the Hezen. Emphasis on he. They use such a pronoun in the flavor text of the Timepiece. The Stranger is most definitely female. [i]Mm.[/i]

                • I know I'm jumping around a bit here but hear me out real quick. In another post you mentioned about Praedyth possibly being sent to the future while possibly fighting atheon. We all know that vex have the capabilities of time traveling. Sooo what if the Exo stranger is Praedyth's ghost. It would explain why she doesn't have a ghost. Tho she says that she was not forged in light. Maybe she means that how she came to be wasn't from light but from vex technology by Praedyth in the future. May sound dumb but at this point all we could do is speculate. Let me know what you guys think of this

                • I saw a video about this. The vex worship the darkness. And it is their god. Atheon or an atheist maybe a vez that doesn't believe in their god.
