Everything dies, even memories.
Lost in the conflux of exile, soldiers march.
Though they can't see what's ahead, they march.
Though they don't know who they kill, they relentlessly fire.
Who knows who they kill? Who knows where they march?
Who directs this destructive instinct towards us?
He can not look away from us now.
After all, we have destroyed everything he has started.
We will use his mistakes to bring about his end before ours.
What do we have to start with?
Hint 1: Not a perk or consumable.
Hint 2: Cryptarchs believe this to be a clue.

jbentzing18 got it!
The Judgement of Mars, a Titan Artifact.
"Cryptarchs say this orb is our first clue toward the identity of the Cabal commander leading the siege of Mars."
One Definition of Conflux: a flowing together of two or more streams, rivers, or the like
In case you didn't know, you can learn this from the Shield Brothers Strike.
The Cabal are exiled from their empire until they achieve victory.
A majority of the time, they are told to kill and not why they kill.
"For the empire" or something along those lines.
"Thought they can't see what's ahead"
Hence, The Blind Legion.
At the end of the Shield Brother's mission.
"Some imperial flunky" is the unknown commander this artifact references.
"His mistakes" being this artifact he has managed to leave behind.
"What do we have to start with?"
This clue.
