Due to the Guardian's actions, Agioktis, Martyr Mind failed in its specific purpose to kill Saint, thus changing the course of time where Saint never died and bringing him to the present. Having failed to take control of the Vex timeways with the Sundial, the Red Legion, under the leadership of the Psion Flayer Amtec , enacted a last resort plan to crash the warship known as the Almighty into the Last City.
Operations on Io attracted the curiosity of Vex forces, much to the chagrin of Asher Mir , who would complain to Ana Bray about "stirring up" the Vex. In addition, Vex responsible for machine conversion managed to excavate their way into the Seraph Bunker outside the Pyramidion, requiring it to be cleared out frequently for it to maintain a connection to Rasputin's mainframe. Following the arrival of the Pyramids and the deactivation of Rasputin, the Vex would begin to study the new arrivals first on Io.
As Eris Morn and the Drifter attempted to contact the Pyramids, the Vex would take interest in these Darkness-harvesting operations and attempt to sabotage their efforts, often deploying Champions to steal any of the coalesced and bloomed darkness for further analysis.
One of the Pyramids reciprocated this study, scanning the Pyramidion on Io in preparation for an incursion into the structure to learn the secrets of the Vex.
When Asher Mir learned of this, he ventured into the Pyramidion to protect it from the Pyramid, initially encountering resistance from the Vex, who later seemed to welcome and simply observe him. By the time of the Festival of the Lost , the Haunted Forest Iteration who come around in the Infinite Forest again, the Vex are aware of the several parties boarding the Dreadnaught and salvaging what they can from it.
The Vex would then simulate these events in order to steal what the Fallen have found. During the conflict between the the Guardian and the House of Salvation on Europa , Eramis, Kell of Darkness sought to wipe out her enemies with an invasion of Vex unleashed from the ancient portal to Volantis constructed by Clovis Bray. After a lengthy battle, The Guardian was successful in destroying Belmon and sealing the portal, however many Vex would escape and attack Riis-Reborn.
In addition, The Guardian is unable to stop Eramis from draining the massive pool of Radiolaria at the portal and sending it to Atraks in the Deep Stone Crypt raid to forge her Exo bodies. Following the Guardians' trials with the Cabal, the Vex somehow have plunged the Last City into an endless night, threatening the safety once found beneath the watchful presence of the Traveler.
As a member of this order, he possesses the knowledge needed to combat the Vex technology that ensnares the Last City. The Guardian managed to locate Mithrax on Europa after he was attempting to grant safe passage to Eliksni refugees fleeing from the House of Salvation but was ambushed by the Vex. After meeting with the Kell, Mithrax asks the Guardian to aid him in "blinding" the Vex so he can lead his people to safety. With Mithrax's guidance, they manage to slay the Curator in charge, bringing back a sample of its living code for study and escaping before the Vex could retaliate.
Sharing a common enemy and understanding that Mithrax and his house are different than the other Fallen, Ikora offers Mithrax and the House of Light safe haven with the Last City, to which the Kell gratefully accepts. With Mithrax's guidance in training them as Sacred Splicers, the Guardians make progress in continually breaching the Outer Nexus and slaying various amounts of Oppressive and Subjective Minds, bringing back their codes to study and hopefully find a solution in ending the Endless Night the Vex have placed over the Last City.
For weeks to months, the Guardians constantly breach into the Vex Nexus domain and battle against a number of Subjective Minds, gathering data that could explain the nature of the Endless Night. With this knowledge in hand, Osiris delves into learning all they can about the Witch Queen while Mithrax continues to pinpoint Quira's position, allowing the Guardians to corner it.
Eventually, Mithrax was able to gain Quria's position and trap it, giving the Guardians' the chance to destroy it. Despite the Dreaming Mind's destruction, the Endless Night didn't dissipate immediately, but the Vanguard and Mithrax believe it would slowly fade away given time. Ultimately, after a period of weeks, the Endless Night did indeed lift, allowing daylight to cover the Last City once more.
Lakshmi, along with her fellow Faction leaders, had grown increasingly wary and paranoid towards the Eliskni of the House of Light, believing they were no different than the Fallen the Last City had battled for centuries. The Factions leaders, Lakshmi in particular, were frustrated by the Guardians' refusal to see their point of view and further driven by the device that her faction uses to see into the future, was convinced that the House of Light would lead the Last City to a tragedy.
On her last broadcast, Lakshmi claimed she was aided by Osiris when the rift was opened, leading to the Vex to pour into the Last City for the first time. However, instead of being under her command, the Vex attacked humans and Eliksni indiscriminately, which ultimately led to Lakshmi's death. The Guardians scrambled to protect the Last City and the Eliksni Quarter, managing to close the rift by destroying the Vex Subjective Mind controlling them.
The Vex do not have a subjective consciousness as understood by humans. The Vex pattern of thought does not include semiosis, which is the use of symbols to represent ideas, concepts and meanings in human language and thought. The Vex instead simulate all phenomena within themselves to express and manipulate ideas. Whereas a human when touching fire will use symbols to represent this stimulus, process them and produce an output to extinguish the fire, the Vex pattern of thought is adapted so that, if it is burned, the destructive imput of the fire to the pattern inherently causes a repertory output to extinguish with no middle process.
The Vex do not necessarily know why they do what they do, they simply do. As the Vex mode of thought is entirely based on the manipulation of internal simulations, the Vex swarm mind has very little or perhaps no ability to distinguish between simulation and reality; there is merely the internal model, and the external that must be changed to match it.
There are no individual experiences in the Vex collective, and perhaps nothing analogous to sentience as well—each instantiation of the Vex is a fractal mirror of the master pattern that makes the Vex, leaving the whole able to occupy and utilize any substrate for their processing. The Vex are capable of manifesting consciousnesses as simulation, as part of their interrogation of reality, and even use these simulations to achieve their goals in certain situations.
The Vex in their biological form are aquatic microorganisms known as radiolaria. According to notes taken by Clovis Bray I , the dynamic mobility of radiolaria within their fluid environment renders them exceptionally well-suited for performing certain difficult calculations. He also noted that the Vex language as embodied within radiolarian fluid does not involve semiosis, or the use of symbols; instead of utilizing "placeholders" for concepts, the Vex directly mimic or simulate concepts or phenomena as they communicate about them to one another.
The asymbolic nature of Vex language is the fundamental difference between Vex cognition and human cognition. It is believed that Vex are not born or made, so much as converted. When Asher Mir was infected with Radiolarian fluid, his arm turned into a Vex construct. Kabr, the Legionless would have suffered a similar fate had he not used his Light to become The Aegis. This also explains why Radiolarian fluid deals damage when stepped in.
In the opening cinematic for Season of the Undying however, Vex constructs are seen inactive in what is described as a "gestation lake", [41] where Radiolarian fluid finds its way into constructs to bring them to life. It is possible that manufacture supplements conversion, or that newly-converted constructs may need to undergo additional processing before they can be activated.
It is stated that when Vex become Taken, that they can definitely feel it, including Vex constructs such as Asher's converted arm, that is is equivalent to ripping the essence from them. Asher even stated that Taking Vex would be suicidal and risky as the Vex infect everything they touch, their self-replicating subroutines would consume them from the inside out, whether they are ignore or it is part of a calculated risk is still unclear at the time. Emperor Calus describes the Vex as "cocoons" for "something greater".
He also describes all the Vex previously encountered merely as gardeners, engineers and managers, and implies that Guardians have yet to encounter their true warriors. The ultimate goal of the Vex is to remake all of reality in their image, but the exact details of that goal are ambiguous.
Praedyth described the Vex as being motivated by a "Pattern," which drives the Vex to either reshape or destroy everything in their path. Osiris referred to the Vex's objective as "Convergence," an outcome where all life in the universe has been converted to a simplified, digital form. The Vault of Glass on Venus serves as a testing ground for the Vex to manipulate reality through ontological means. In his studies of the Vex, Clovis Bray I noted that the Vex were so utterly adapted to survival and adaptation that any destructive input would automatically be used as a means to enable a self-correcting or reparatory response; an analogy he used was that, if a Vex unit were exposed to a fire, then the energy of that fire would be utilized in putting it out.
This approach to existence permeates every aspect of the Vex, so much so that even their thoughts and language are intrinsically virulent when other minds and software are exposed to them. The Vex have displayed an interest in studying the behavior and strategies of other species in order to further their own aims.
At least one known programming is known to study its enemies, taking prisoners for observation and conducting a variety of experiments; examples include the Ishtar Collective scientists, Failsafe's crew, and later The Guardian. As a result of having originated in the primordial reality predating the arrival of Light and Darkness, the Vex are unable to simulate paracausal forces or beings. However they have demonstrated the capability to either siphon or erase such forces through deduction [45] or by using ontological weapons, and consequently have a particular interest in understanding paracausality and co-opting paracausal forces for their own use where possible.
When the Vex first encountered the Hive after Crota inadvertently released them into the Ascendant realm of Oryx, the Taken King , the Vex manifested an Axis Mind dedicated to understanding and utilizing the Sword-Logic.
The Black Garden is another example of a Vex effort to harness paracausal forces for their own use, in this case by creating the Sol Divisive to worship what appeared to be a fragment of the Darkness and the Sol Progeny as its vessels for harnessing that power in conjuction with the ontological Vault of Glass.
The pulse of Light emitted by the Traveler when it defeated Ghaul was apparently instrumental in allowing Panoptes, Infinite Mind to predict a future where Convergence was achieved, and to enact a plan to achieve that future.
The source of Venus Spirit Blooms might be a byproduct of Vex-influenced flora. The Vex are all connected to one another in a massive hive mind, but individual Vex units called Axis Minds act as leaders by storing all information necessary to complete a particular goal, freeing up individual Vex to pursue local tasks while the Axis Mind can plan globally.
This creates a centralized weakness for the Vex, but they seem to consider it worth the risk. Whether the Vex in question are devoted to engineering projects, full-scale war, or religious devotion, all Vex are united by a single, unfathomable purpose.
It is thought that the Vex have embedded structures within every known celestial body, linked together in a massive trans-dimensional and trans-temporal gate network , which spans thousands of divergent realities all at once. Using this gate network in the present timeline, machinoforming engines are utilized by Vex Minds in the conversion of new worlds into massive Vex machines; Mercury was converted into a Machine World within days of the Collapse to house the reality-simulating Infinite Forest.
Ostensibly, Vex strive to achieve Convergence by incorporating themselves into the fabric of the current universe itself, either through conventional or paracausal means. This power is limited to the Vault, though Ikora hypothesizes that the Sol Progeny were meant to carry this ability into the rest of the universe. According to notes taken by Clovis Bray I , Vex gates appear to lack meaningful structure or instrumentality, instead being a seemingly arbitrary arrangement of elemental metallic components.
If one suffers, it will not affect the rest of the network as a whole. They all function differently, but work toward the same goal of Convergence. The Vex display a mastery of teleportation, and use a variety of teleportation modes for transporting troops and resources. Entire squads of Vex can drop into combat zones anywhere in the system, their arrival preceded by shimmering angular patterns and clouds of mist. I've known Mercer too long Every word.
Mercer's been stealing from the Guild for years, right under your noses. Delvin, I'll need you to open the Vault. What's in that book? What did it say? Gallus was looking into it before he was murdered. It's impossible. Could he pick his way in?
There's no way it can be picked open. We'll open it up and find out the truth. Now use yours. It's gone, everything's gone! Get in here, all of you! I'll kill him! Put it away We can't afford to lose our heads This isn't helpin' right now. We do it your way. For now. If you see Mercer, come tell me right away. Vex: "Delvin, that last shipment we heisted on the Cyrodiil frontier was worthless!
I distinctly heard that lout in the tavern say it was a full shipment of furs. They should be worth a fortune. He said "firs" not "furs. This section contains bugs related to Vex. Before adding a bug to this list, consider the following:. Elder Scrolls Explore. Elder Scrolls Online.
