Theory: Xur and The Nine
So, as I do from time to time, I oggled ol' Xur and tried to decide what class he would be. Hunter, Titan, or Warlock. For the first time, I realized he has a patchwork of all three class specific gear. The hood of a hunter cloak, the bond of a warlock, and the mark of a titan.
That previous thought made me simply say "oh neat, Xur is able to rock whatever he feels like". Fast forward 3 hours now. Mid crucible match, I verbalize the thought "Holy shit! The Nine! They're masters of all 9 subclasses!" at my team. I explained myself, apologized for the scare I gave them, and we chatted for a bit about how cool a concept that is. Also, mentioning how monstrously terrifying a striker titan with throwing knives and self rez is. Let that image settle in...
So, likely, this is nothing. But it was a cool little "ah ha!" moment that I deemed interesting enough to share, seeing as we really know almost nothing about Xur and The Nine. Please, discuss!
TL;DR - What if The Nine are masters of all 9 subclasses and can freely utilize any and all abilities.
EDIT 1: I am fully aware this is highly unlikely everyone. It's a cool concept to spark some conversation. Let's keep this a toxic free post, as those are rare enough to come by on these forums. I am enjoying all the feedback though!

More correct or logical would be that the each of the Nine is a Grandmaster to thier class. To them each subclass is a class. They do not refer to themselves as hunters titans or warlocks. The subclasses we have would be a single deticated class to them. For example one of the Nine is a Grandmaster gunslinger. He doesnt know anything about nightstalkeing or bladedancing but he or she has become the embodiment of what it means to be a gunslinger. Same goes for everyother subclass. Xur is the embodiment of every class but not a Grandmaster. He has simply exisited to be skilled at every class not only one. That way he would have authority to sell us gear from every class. Xur is a skilled hunter, warlock, and titan, but cannot use the skills because he doesnt have the light to do so. Becoming all three has voided him of light as seen by the darkness and depth of his face/body. He has however been allowed by the nine Grandmaster to sell items due to his detitcation and his skills. Or some shit like that
