Meaning and background
The story behind Cayde
Cayde has a documented game association with Cayde-6 in Destiny 2. PlayStation's interview with Bungie discusses the character's role among the Vanguard and the narrative decision behind Forsaken. A dog name can preserve a player's attachment to that character without retaining the numeric suffix. The source establishes the fictional namesake; it does not make Cayde an ancient personal name or validate a guessed translation from similar spellings.
