With that said, good luck guardians!
Who/what am I?
"[i]The nightcrawler, it stalks no prey, and it's presence is always noticed. Can you contain me? Can you smite the masses and inflict what exists deep in the recesses of our fragile minds? I am not the whole, and I have existed many times before. My most powerful master exists outside of existence, or at least.....the existence you know. Will you find me, and unleash this twisted luminescence upon this weakened world?[/i]"
[u]Hint 1:[/u] [i]You know my masters well, for they are the spoils of victory over those who reign over existence in their domain. It takes a steady hand to know me, and when you know me, all will fall to the fire.[/i]

Answer: [spoiler]Firefly[/spoiler]
Explanation: [spoiler]"The nightcrawler, it stalks no prey, and it's presence is always noticed. Can you contain me?"
These lines refer to the Firefly insect. They are harmless creatures as far as I know, and they are usually present at night, where their little lights make them easily noticeable. Also, a lot of people like to catch fireflies in jars, which would "contain them."
"Can you smite the masses and inflict what exists deep in the recesses of our fragile minds?"
The Firefly perk is an explosion that can damage a group of enemies in an area. The second part refers to the Fatebringer's description of "delivering the inevitable" which most likely means death which is the fate that is brought to you through that hand cannon.
"I am not the whole, and I have existed many times before. My most powerful master exists outside of existence, or at least.....the existence you know."
The Firefly perk is only part of a gun's skill tree, and it can be found on many different weapons. The most powerful master refers to Fatebringer, which is only found in the Vault of Glass, where existence has a completely different meaning with the vex.
"Will you find me, and unleash this twisted luminescence upon this weakened world?"
The twisted luminescence refers to the light produced by the explosion from the Firefly perk. I thought it was kinda twisted how they compared a firefly's little glow to a deadly explosion.
Hint 1 refers to Fatebringer and Praedyth's Revenge, which can both be found after beating the Templar in the Vault of Glass. To trigger the Firefly perk, you need to get a headshot kill, which requires a steady hand and good aim.[/spoiler]
