SOOO I'm not sure if you answer asks like this, but I was wondering, how in your opinion Tevis ended up in Andal's pack? Also, how did he know Tallulah? Got curious after reading all those bits here and there 👀
I sure do! I also have my DMs open for just about everything as well, including lore dumps!
Ok so...
puts on my Out Of My Ass Headcanons Hat
I get the feeling that, with Cayde calling Tevis the most experienced Nightstalker they got and Ghost also calling him a cussed old guy, and that's back in D1, so I'm willing to bet he's at the very least older than Cayde, who wasn't even around to see the Iron Lords or fight in Six Fronts (and also older than Quantis Rhee, that other Nightstalker we've never seen and I NEED TO MEET HER)
So it's very possible he's been around to see the entire procession of Hunter Vanguards, since most/all of them... probably didn't hold the seat for too long
If he was around before Six Fronts, that means he could have met Tallulah and Caliban while they were both still on the field
And I think the proper way Hunters met during the time before the Vanguard was established properly and standardised strikes getting set up, was when their kills/loot was stolen by another Hunter. I think it went something along the lines of Tevis tailing some Fallen crew for either a kill or to steal loot and Tallulah (and/or Caliban, I think those two are absolutely joined at the hip) probably butted in and blew it all sky-high. And it ended up with them arguing and fighting their way through Shit™️ From there on, I guess it would have been a case of "You're competent and I got a good lead but need people, you in?" and... they just stuck around each other. (I have a half-finished story about this actually because I can't help myself)
Now Andal, considering he got picked up by Tallulah the moment he set foot in the Tower, might have heard about Tevis from Tallulah herself. And, I guess the rest is history... 😂
