The Nine (often represented as the IX) are the enigmatic rulers of the Jovians, the worlds beyond the Solar System's asteroid belt. They maintain contact with the City via their agent Xûr,and have formed an alliance with the Reef.
After the apparent release of Skolas, their loyalty is in doubt.
Very little about the Nine or the Jovians is known due to the isolation of the outer Solar System. One legend describes the Nine but offers seemingly contradictory clues to their nature:
The Nine are survivors of the cis-Jovian colonies who made a compact with an alien force to ensure their own survival.
The Nine are deep-orbit warminds who weathered the Collapse in hardened stealth platforms.
The Nine are ancient leviathan intelligences from the seas of Europa or the hydrocarbon pits of Titan.
The Nine arrived in a mysterious transmission from the direction of the Corona-Borealis supercluster.
The Nine are the firstborn Awoken and their minds now race down the field lines of the Jupiter-Io flux tube.
The Nine are Ghosts who pierced the Deep Black without a ship and meditated on the hissing silence of the heliopause.
The Nine are the aspects of the Darkness, broken by the Traveler's rebuke, working to destroy us from within.
The Nine is a viral language of pure meaning.
The Nine are the shadows left by the annihilation of a transcendent shape, burned into the weft of what is.
Osiris had met with the Nine on Europa. According to Brother Vance, "He says the Nine are vulnerable every moment they touch our world."
Xûr, Agent of the Nine[1] is a vendor who appears in the Tower and the Vestian Outpost.[2] Xûr sells extremely rare goods in exchange for Strange Coins and only appears on weekends.[1]Xur's coming and going depends on the planetary alignments, as he hails from the Jovians, a part of the system that the Guardians have yet to adequately explore. He is in service to the Nine, enigmatic rulers of the Jovians.
It is possible that Xûr is responsible for releasing Skolas from his prison after he was given to the Nine
