Most folks that know me, know that I have two favorite characters are Cayde-6 and Lord Shaxx. Cayde has quite the personality and sense of humor & I find much amusement in his antics. But Shaxx is also witty & personable.

The following is some of my favorite Lord Shaxx quotes, from Destiny 1 & 2.

“What I wouldn’t give to fight again beyond the walls. I would tear out a Vex heart with my teeth! I would sear the Cabal with my burning Light, challenge the Fallen Kells to personal combat and scatter them! I… I’ve been watching too many Crucible matches.”

“You want to take on the Cabal? You’ve got to train, or they’ll stomp you flat…”
Ā 
“Cayde ran through the Crucible like it was a game… sly bastard.”
Ā 
“I’m not gonna tell you how I lost the horn; you couldn’t handle it.”
Ā 
“Dead Orbit’s not in charge of the Crucible. I am.”
Ā 
“You wanna stare me down?”
Ā 
“Haha! The Crucible is no place for mercy.”
Ā 
“Ha, you’re crushing them! Send them home crying.”

ā€œIā€™ll say it because Cayde never will. Gunslingers are elitists. Nothing but the best is good enough for their hands. And firepower isnā€™t enough. They demand elegance, as if thereā€™s anything elegant about a gun. If they had their way, Golden Guns would be standard issue. What a universe that would be.ā€

“Do you like it better when Lord Saladin oversees these matches? Do I look like I care? Get back in there!”
Ā 
“Oh my. This is… this is beautiful. You continue to be my greatest success, Guardian.”

“Enough! This battle was one-sided! You’ve obliterated them! Love it!”

“They can’t win if they’re dead! Haha!”
“WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU CAN’T CONCENTRATE WHEN I’M YELLING?! RELAX!!”

ā€œCayde and Ikora have it all wrong. Itā€™s not that Strikers have a death wish. They throw their bodies at incoming fire so others wonā€™t have to. Itā€™s also the most direct line to a target.ā€

Thereā€™s something so personal about small-scale battles. Itā€™s in Skirmish that rivalries become battles of Thorns and Last Words.ā€

ā€œI encourage you Guardians to work together, to fight as one. Itā€™s how you come home intact. But thereā€™s no one to trust in a Rumble match. And Iā€™ll admit itā€”itā€™s the Rumbles where I truly come alive.ā€

ā€œInstinct tells you to cherish victory, but defeat holds all the lessons.ā€

“Who says Warlocks are better with books than with guns? Ok, it was me. But I was lying. Rage is an excellent motivator.”
“If we had this crop of rookies at Twilight Gap, weā€™d all be speaking Fallen!”
“I will tell you how I lost my horn, but it doesn’t live up to slaying Oryx.”

“Well, Dead Orbit isn’t calling the shots. I am.”

“First Blood goes to you! They’ll seek retribution for this.”

“I appall sitting here while others fight my battles, but I wouldn’t have missed that match for anything.”

“Hang on, I need to handle this… What do you think heavy ammo available means Guardian? TELL ME! Because I don’t think you get it!

“Tell me, Guardian… did you pull the trigger on the fair Prince?”

“If there’s any fight left in you, Guardian, get up! And give it to me!”

“Did you see that grenade toss? He’s a danger only to himself!”

“They say the Dreaming City is cursed. You wouldn’t know anything about that, would you, Guardian? You do walk with a world-ending sword.”

“The Tower is never dull when you’re around!”

“Stop by when you return, Titan! We’ll trade punches… I’ll let you go first.”
