Classified Item
Bungie has the ability to expose information in the API that, for whatever reason, is not yet ready to be seen. We call these items "classified".
Sometimes classified items eventually are revealed to be real, in-game items. However, they are usually just junk data that made it into the API that isn't intended to be seen.
We include these items in the database solely to provide a complete view of what is in the API files. You should not take the presence of this item as a guarantee of something coming in a future update or attempt to analyze its presence too deeply. Doing so likely will only lead to disappointment.
This item is categorized as classified because:
- It was marked as a dummy item in the API files.
Lore
Chapter 14
I was a scholar once. Of vast renown among those beyond influence of the Great Machine. Here, I told my House. See the truth and speak it with me. They refused, and so I left, unable to consume the bile of their belief.
The wind was bitter, no hollowhot to warm me. The terrain full of danger, no scattercape to shield me.
I was alone, wasting beneath a blanket of snow.
But then, in deepened slumber, they came to me. Larger than life, a shadow of stars that rose up around me and whispered my name in a crescendo that threatened to boil my brain. A roar of imperious inquiry surged in my veins, and when it finally subsided, only one question remained:
What did I want?
Knowledge. Percipience. Enlightenment.
How simple.
Quaint and predictable.
The words rang in my ears like a gong.
Then we will REMAKE you,
to guide your path toward all knowledge,
and you will be bound to a
T H O U S A N D D E A T H S.
On that last breath, you will submit,
claimed forever,
made and unmade among the specter of the stars,
until the end of time.
I did not have to think. Did not have to see or speak. All I needed… was to know.
