@@spaced0rit070 Yikes, my bad! I totally misread that as "bought", as in 'past collaborators bought him out of what was previous a joint venture.' It makes a lot more sense now, especially the DCV. Thanks for clearing up my bad reading comprehension
The Banshee we know isn't the same. His 43rd reset feebled his mind and stripped him of his memories of 44 lives as Clovis. I'm curious as to what necessitated the multiple resets or if any of them were exobody replacements due to physical damage since clovis/banshee isn't arisen and doesn't respawn with a ghost. Either way, his k/d has got to be insane.
Banshee never was actually Clovis. He was activated outside the protocol to attune his memories as him because Elizabeth believed him dead, and he assumed his own personality.
I love the voice modulation you use for Exo/A.I. characters, it's a little extra layer that really sells it when you do these lore reads. You are a truly fantastic voice actor.
I love to hate him and he somehow comes off as less trustworthy than Calus. He has so much 'I'm not the bad guy... in this particular story' going on with him.
Anyone who casts aside his mortality for power seems like a dictator at heart and that's not a good thing to me.. killed his granddaughter and full of pride declared he had the strength to do that, killing someone else wouldn't bother him, Yeah no- I'm team Calus on this one.. he may have sold us to the Veil But id rather go with Calus than Bray
@@jonconway912 that’s the best part about how he’s written. From what I picked up it was an allegory for humanity’s rapid technological growth, sacrificing even ourselves for what we perceive as better.
This is some of the best lore in the entire franchise. The concept of Clovis ending up having divergent personalities after the scan and seeing Clovis-1's babyface turn was just such damn good storytelling.
Imagine this: Banshee taking up the blade once more to extinguish an entire field of Vex as they arise from the darkness, about to clap two well known guardians: Osiris and Ikora. As they prepare for death, something can be heard in the distance. Something inhuman. Something violent. Something long forgotten to the golden age. His mind focused, his sight narrow, his power unmatched. The wail of the banshee could be heard with the screams of Vex dying by the second. He looks out towards the fight ahead, making his way through effortlessly as he connects with his weapon once more. There are explosions, cybernetics flying, sparks coming from their dying bodies. With many wails of kills within his grasp, there he unleashes a powerful swing, causing Osiris and Ikora to hide their ears from the fight... As the battle concludes, the look out at the newly constructed graveyard of Vex, only to see the weaponsmith walking away, the lament over his shoulder. He can feel it surging through his circuits one again - his past. He remembers. And this time, he'll never forget, not while that blade still screams the name and number of the immortal Banshee-44...
Awesome story on the fly there. I was able to visialize all of it as i read it. That only happens whe i read agreat story from a great story teller. If you aren't already. You have the talet to be a great author of hard cover novels. I know i would buy them. Now it's in my head to be store away. Thanks for the small exciting battle. .
Video topics Elsie's space fish Where is willemina bray Did Rasputin know about the crypt How many times has elsie been rebooted Are there any more deep stone crypts
rasputin probably knows about the dsc since he is a bray creation, he's sentient, and he holds secrets from the golden age. there arent more deep stone crypts but there are alternate "creations" (creation is the place where exos are created, it's the main exo facility due to having direct connection to clarity control) where exos are created, so europa isn't the only place where exos are born, the other places are only alternative because they're far away from clarity control and have no quick method of acquiring alkahest.
The journal of Clovis Bray shows a line that said Elsie had been rejected 40-50 times (idr the exact number) so its implied that she's been reset 40+ times, which brings into question her sanity.
@@MeuesenexD I think those rejections were of the process itself. One presumes, since at the time they were dealing with uncompromised equipment and the only time pressure was Clovis' need to test the process on her for his own benefit, with each rejection they started over with her original personality image. So she hasn't been reset that many times. Now we don't know how many times she was rebooted during the final battle to close the gateway. Banshee we know was reset 43 times. Some Exos were lost because the memory banks overheated trying to keep up with the flood of backup memories being generated and processed.
I think this is one of my favourite stories/lore that we've had in destiny. Its such a powerful story and so emotive but is also a major footprint in the entire games history.
I interpreted it as banshee-44 forgetting his number and trying to log in as his other versions. He thought that was always his name because he has no memories to say otherwise.
@@therewillbefire1833 thats probably it wait no yes if i remember ghost said banshee-44 tried login as 42 so yeah you are most likely right... i’ll have to listen to it again
"That memory bank belonged to Elisabeth-1." "Why?" "Because I wanted you on my side." Holy fuck, Clovis wiped his own granddaughter's memory, potentially multiple times, just so he could repeatedly try to manipulate her into helping him. That's some next-level abusive shit.
@@DeyCallMeTEEZY95 so the memory bank she grabbed when she and banshee got their weapons was the memory bank of Elsie 1, her first iteration. She was killed when she tried to shut downt the exo program before the events that happen in the video. Here’s the excerpt from destinypedia, None of his pleadings moved Elsie, who remained committed to ending the threat of the Vex, causing Clovis to activate his ship Hannu II's weapons and strike her down from orbit. Elsie was killed and her paracausal weapon was destroyed by the attack.
@@firefoxx5315 Didn't she also mention that he is the reason she was turned into an exo.Bucause i am sure she shows her dissatisfaction sbout being an exo
I think it’s pretty interesting that the Clovis-1 exo was literally the polar opposite to his real life counterpart. Considering that the exo was made with only the personality and the emotions, no memories, of Clovis, I wonder what made Clovis become such a psychopath
The environment around him. Disregarding his psychopathy. Clovis Bray is a fucking genius. Clovis was definitely put on a pedestal when he was still human, and that got into his head. By the time he could get away from all that, the damage was done. Clovis Bray is a product of his environment, as is Banshee-44. As is everyone.
Try what i did, i posted spoiler on the whatsapp group of my clan, and they banned me for a week. I got back, did the DSC for the first time. Dropped it imediately. Im not kidding btw. The clan leader is still pissed with me.
@@heerosagayuy2143 what I’m wrong? Every video he says “ sorry for the absence of videos the last few weeks “ or he could just say how the game is boring and dead af at this point
Watching this just made me realize that the two most infamous slayers of the Vex are just chilling in the tower (Banshee-44 and Saint-14). If ever the Vex want to mount another offensive against humanity, I would love to see these two side by side on the battlefield. One with Lament, the other with his bare hands (well I guess we could lend him our shotgun). Just a fun thought...
Mad respect for you, Byf, that you make all these videos tirelessly and have been for years and you still keep a balance that you're not burning yourself out. Taking breaks are completely understandable!
I’m sorry if this comment is a bit long. But I just wanted to say, I’m so happy to be part of this community. Even if I’m just small ways. Destiny is one of my favorite games, I’ve played since the beta of the first game. But the community I’ve found here is truly amazing. And when I discovered this channel a few years ago I realized there’s even more to it. My Name is Byf has given me so much. And I’ll never care how long he takes to do any video. We all go through so much, the last year especially. And I just wanted to say I’m so happy to have this community. Sorry for the gush
Man, I gotta say it’s been a pleasure and a highlight of my year finding your channel. Destiny has always been near and dear to my heart and your channel is just the thing Ive wanted, a clean and clear way to access all of bunnies amazing lore. You’re the man Byf! PS. I could sit here all day telling you about all the things I’m fond of, but today I’ll say I love the little audio effect you lay over your voice when talking as an exo. Awesome!
I have a theory that Banshee’s memory issues could be because Elsie left Clovis-43’s entire mind still on his exo, just blocked off in case she ever needed him. And now the exomind is struggling to handle 2 entirely unique personalities at the same time. His memory loss used to be explain by the degrading memories of exos, but we now know that this was a lie made up so Clovis could remove memories he didn’t want exos to have.
@@ChaosAtlantis33 they do not. The memory degradation was made up by Clovis so he could explain away gaps in Exos memories when he removed something they weren’t supposed to know. The reboot process is actually quite effective. If we were to believe that Banshee’s memory issues were a result of the large number of reboots, then we’d have to assume that literally all of the damage to his exomind came in the last reboot, because the lore seems to suggest that none of his 42 other reboots affected him in any way. His memory issues are unique only to his final reboot, which is why I have come to this theory. There is also some lore evidence to suggest that Dissociative Exomind Rejections (DER), which is the degenerative process by which exos go max as their mind rejects the mechanical form, thus requiring a reboot to resolve, was actually made up as well. Supposedly it was used as an excuse for Clovis to wipe any Exo’s mind at any time we wanted; again, whenever they learned something they weren’t supposed to.
Byf, this is one of your BEST so far, your time out shows. No need to overdue yourself, take your time and many thanks for your work, love to stop by and learn A LOT thanks to you!
This seemingly parallel of Exo's being born like Guardians of the light is interesting to see and it shows the monster Clovis always wanted to be. Regardless, the video was phenomenal as all of your work is. Gladd you had your much needed break, take care of yourself and we will see you starside in the next video.
Man this story was really good, I kinda got choked up when he went to wipe his memory kinda reminded me of terminator 2 at the end "there is one more chip " pointing to his head. "And it must be destroyed also." Just that sacrifice that it's more better i get rid of everything i know of clovis' work and memory at the cost of being with his granddaughter for the good of universe. I did not know the story was that deep until I saw this. And a big thanks to byf for taking the time to make this!
This is what keeps me playing Destiny, the lore is always mind blowing with every new expansion Bungie gives us, it opens more and more doors into things and people we’ve seen/met, and you making it so enjoyable to watch/learn about the lore makes it even better to learn about Destiny Lore! Keep up the good work Byf!
It is amazing to me how powerful the lore makes banshee and Elsie look and feel. Then you come to present day and realize that our guardian wields both of their weapons! It really shows how true the unstoppable our force is!! AMAZING WORK LORE TEAM!!!!!
Fantastic work! Glad to hear your voice again! Gotta say, it's a little frustrating. Hearing these great stories from this...lackluster expansion, and thinking "how are these the same thing?" This is the stuff that keeps me invested in the game!
One day I’d love a compilation of the entire bray story I know it would be monumentous but having the adventures of bray tech along with things like warming and even a tie in the this story to just make that entire timeline. Man that would be something
Honestly I have so much respect for you man. Your content is really intriguing and brings lore fans and not so lore fans anyway to gain information and stories we all long to know. Take as long a break as you like, I think you deserve it.
Very glad to see a new video from my favorite loremaster. Not just because they're always awesome but because it means you're feeling back in the groove enough to make them again :)
Wow- 434 comments so far. I have returned to Destiny after a 2 year break. Your lore has given a whole new meaning to Destiny for me. I was always disappointed how scattered and piecemeal Destiny lore has been. You bring it all together for us and give deeper meaning to our experience. Thank you for that. Sincerely. Take the time you need, when you need it. You are a special person for doing this and we appreciate what you do. Thank You!
I think it's crazy that this ties into when we first meet her, the stranger. She was in the middle of what could be the fight on Europa but had to come see us
Loved the new video! I personally love the longer videos. And I think adding the exo tone to the dialogue was a beautiful touch. Welcome back Byf! I’m glad you’re feeling better. I also struggle with not burning out due to Depression and Anxiety. If you ever need someone to talk to, I’m here. And that goes for anyone here in the comments as well. You’re not alone, don’t be afraid to reach out if you need help.
One of my favorite lore books, and that sword... That sword. Since the start of d2 i only held onto one sword the quickfang the sword Cayde 6 gave me. Lament lets me feel like I can let it rest... For a time.
It brings new meaning to Banshee saying "I won't forget all the people we lost...I won't."
I just felt that In my chest when I read this. Lol dam
@@tripatomz3441 I know right? It clicked for me after I did the quest and realized that Banshee was Clovis I's better persona.
Just heard Banshee say, “It all runs together, doesn’t it? Maybe ‘cuz of me.”
He could also be talking about the people of the city when the cabal attacked in the red war
Damn that’s funny because when by the said he won’t keep his name or number I had a feeling he was banshee.
It would be cool to see Elsie’s reaction to seeing banshee 44 again.
Honestly I think she has, even back in Destiny 1. Banshee was still there at the old tower.
@@jsmaster4779 This. I'm guessing she saw him, smiled to herself and turned around. She probably figured things were better like that

Even with the healing aspect of this blade I’m surprised Banshee was resilient enough to use it without instantly dying to vex.
he wielded this back when specing into resilience stat was viable 🤣😑
Well he's an exo. They are more resilient than normal humans. His exo body is also faster, stronger and sturdier than other exos

The exotic lore is incredible and every time I love it. This and thorn are some of the best story content in the game.
Lament, the only sword in Destiny 2 that can do the Omnislash mid-air, respect
Just wanted to say that this story was just a big flex from Bungie and I appreciate that you did such a nice video on it.
Keep doing your thing
Can we just applaud bud for putting the effort of making an hour long video for just one exotic. Love this guys content
I have been waiting for this, you're my favorite lore Guide.
This seemingly parallel of Exo's being born like Guardians of the light is interesting to see and it shows the monster Clovis always wanted to be. Regardless, the video was phenomenal as all of your work is. Gladd you had your much needed break, take care of yourself and we will see you starside in the next video.
Love it! So damn cool. Thank you for your work. I like the longer vids. Gives me a good video to listen to while at work.
Oh boy, I think I need a exo lore video now, my understanding of them has just scrambled itself beyond repair
Man this story was really good, I kinda got choked up when he went to wipe his memory kinda reminded me of terminator 2 at the end "there is one more chip " pointing to his head. "And it must be destroyed also." Just that sacrifice that it's more better i get rid of everything i know of clovis' work and memory at the cost of being with his granddaughter for the good of universe. I did not know the story was that deep until I saw this. And a big thanks to byf for taking the time to make this!
The production value with sound effects and sound modulation is off the charts! Thanks for the video.
Banshee has been one of my favorite Exos ever since I picked up Destiny 2 and this story makes him so much better
This is what keeps me playing Destiny, the lore is always mind blowing with every new expansion Bungie gives us, it opens more and more doors into things and people we’ve seen/met, and you making it so enjoyable to watch/learn about the lore makes it even better to learn about Destiny Lore! Keep up the good work Byf!
It is amazing to me how powerful the lore makes banshee and Elsie look and feel. Then you come to present day and realize that our guardian wields both of their weapons! It really shows how true the unstoppable our force is!! AMAZING WORK LORE TEAM!!!!!
I love how they tied Banshee into this. Love when threads are tied together.
Fantastic work! Glad to hear your voice again!
Gotta say, it's a little frustrating.
Hearing these great stories from this...lackluster expansion, and thinking "how are these the same thing?"
This is the stuff that keeps me invested in the game!
Very well done Byf, I loved the audio for the exo voices, I was completely wrapped up in this video so much so that I forgot I was at work
Cant wait for Byf to cover the Exo Strangers timeline lore
I would love to here the lore of Atraks-1 and the mask of Bakris. It's so interesting
I love these long videos. They allow me to listen to the lore while I play the game
I love the new audio modulation for the exo voices. Well done friend! Probably your best video yet! 🥰
"I won't forget everyone we lost. I WON'T !" aw... :'(
One day I’d love a compilation of the entire bray story I know it would be monumentous but having the adventures of bray tech along with things like warming and even a tie in the this story to just make that entire timeline. Man that would be something
Honestly I have so much respect for you man. Your content is really intriguing and brings lore fans and not so lore fans anyway to gain information and stories we all long to know. Take as long a break as you like, I think you deserve it.
“Enduring this video” like we didn’t enjoy every minute of it
Even though they can't show this in game as a cinematic, I am glad you are the one to tell about, great video
Only a minute into the video, and it's good to hear you are putting your mental health first.
Greatly enjoy these type of long format videos.
He’s back with a whole movie for us! Take as long as you need byf glad to have you back.
The effect you use when the exo are talking is a great touch! Nicely done!
Hearing Byf as an echoing Exo sounds like a chill god.
To me, this is the single coolest story in Destiny lore.
You're a great story teller, I don't mind the long videos, in fact I kind of prefer them.
Deep lore. Great story.
Gameplay: Byf riding the robo roomba into battle.
Lets go!
Lore like this is the only reason im still even interested in Destiny.
Thank you for sharing this with us, Byf. 🤘
Fun fact. If you throw a stasis gernade on the big head, the frames will shoot at it!
Loving the little touches, like the Exo voices. Welcome back Byf. We missed you!
Great video, the one you should have add is the epilogue of the story. When the guardian visit the Clovis AI after learning Banshee is Clovis Bray.
Very glad to see a new video from my favorite loremaster. Not just because they're always awesome but because it means you're feeling back in the groove enough to make them again :)
Wow- 434 comments so far. I have returned to Destiny after a 2 year break. Your lore has given a whole new meaning to Destiny for me. I was always disappointed how scattered and piecemeal Destiny lore has been. You bring it all together for us and give deeper meaning to our experience. Thank you for that. Sincerely. Take the time you need, when you need it. You are a special person for doing this and we appreciate what you do. Thank You!
So glad I went back and watched these videos on beyond light
I think it's crazy that this ties into when we first meet her, the stranger. She was in the middle of what could be the fight on Europa but had to come see us
I think Banshee is my new favorite char in all of Destiny now lmao
Thanks Papi Byf
Loved the new video! I personally love the longer videos. And I think adding the exo tone to the dialogue was a beautiful touch. Welcome back Byf! I’m glad you’re feeling better. I also struggle with not burning out due to Depression and Anxiety. If you ever need someone to talk to, I’m here. And that goes for anyone here in the comments as well. You’re not alone, don’t be afraid to reach out if you need help.
Welcome back, I'm glad you're doing better, brighter days are coming! You have been missed, we appreciate you.
One of my favorite lore books, and that sword... That sword. Since the start of d2 i only held onto one sword the quickfang the sword Cayde 6 gave me. Lament lets me feel like I can let it rest... For a time.
Years later learning the more still, thank you
An almost hour long video! Holy smokes Byf thank you for putting this all together, your hard work collecting all this lore is so appreciated
Thought this was gonna be a short 20min video but nearly an hour, epic
I missed you Byf. Just got back into destiny and glad to see you still uploading pretty frequently. Glad to be back.
