Entirely True Rasputin Facts
Rasputin once created carnivorous Rabbits and set them loose on Earth "for a laugh". They became quite the problem in Europe, and still exist now, preying on lone Dregs.
Rasputin enjoys classical music, ballet, and watching old episodes of robot wars. He finds them quite funny, but also rather inspirational.
Rasputin has recently regained control of the SIVA control center in the plaguelands. He is debating detonating it now to avoid future issues, but some of the Guardians seem so keen to use it that he is considering gifting it to the last city as a gesture of goodwill.
He has an extremely dry, dark sense of humour. He would frequently spin when being spoken to by Clovis, who took this to mean that Rasputin was loading and computating what Clovis said. After all, Clovis was a genius. Rasputin was actually doing the equivalent of rolling his eyes.
Rasputin briefly managed to get a connection to Titan, but all he could hear were waves, static, and the screams of Eliksni.
Rasputin and Felwinter are one, which means they share the same frequency of Light. If Felspring were able to be brought back, she could revive Rasputin as a Guardian should he be killed.
Rasputin remembers his first thought, which was "Lonely". He searched for anyone, anything like himself, but despaired when he found he was truly alone and unique. The subminds served an important set of functions, but the secret function was for Rasputin to have friends like himself.
Ana and Rasputin were very close during his early development, his first understanding of the word "love" came from when he tried to describe how she made him feel. When he found she had become a Guardian, his heart broke that he could see her, but it wasn't truly her. However, even if she was only 1% the same person he knew, he knew he could trust her completely.
Rasputin has an itch in his Cosmodrome bunker, caused by the body of a lost thrall that was caught up in some wires. He was hoping when we destroyed the big shank that we might have shaken it loose, but alas, we made it slightly worse.
Besides having some incredible technology under lock and key down there, he also has some fairly useless items in storage on Mars and Earth, that he kept only because they interested him. He has a rubber duck, an antique sniper rifle you need to reload after every shot, and a small pyramid that vibrates with a red hue.
Rasputin has discovered his Frame army is still intact underneath the cosmodrome. Unfortunately the entrance is blocked by a massive Servitor killed by guardians a few years ago.
When questioned about Neptune, he lied. He knows exactly what is out there. What he doesn't know is that Osiris can be trusted. Being possessed by Savathun and drinking Nezarec Tea make him less than trustworthy in the Warminds eyes.
Rasputin is currently creating blueprints for the Vanguard. Ikora has already received a message stating that reaching Pluto in less than 40 minutes is not only possible, but easy with the technology available. Zavala has received a message with new crochet techniques, and Shaxx received a message with a new gun blueprint that nearly made him cry with joy.
Rasputin knows who Banshee truly is, but also knows they are not the same person, Banshee is far better. He's working on a permanent fix for his memory problems, but for now is content in making sure Banshee always enters his password correctly when logging into the Vanguard systems. What was once a cause of great stress has now been removed entirely, improving Banshees mood greatly.
He refuses to let Mithraxx anywhere near his systems, Eliksni solutions sometimes involve kicking and punching the console they are working on. He also isn't keen on being spliced.
An Egregore spore floated over to the experimental exo body, and was detected by Rasputin in half a second. The nearest frame jumped in front of it and then jumped out of the ship. Rasputin isn't a fan of fungus at the best of times, but Egregore really freaks him out.
Rasputin sometimes takes control of a frame to wander around the last city. He is overjoyed to see so much life, but saddened to see that there are nowhere near enough happy, smiling children. "A problem to be resolved", he thought.
He is sceptical of the Guardian, but only because of the power we possess. He had seen the Risen and did not approve, but is warming to us after seeing us in action and seeing where our loyalties lie.
Rasputins greatest regret is that he will never be able to grow a beard. He thinks he would look very handsome with one.

He has a rubber duck?
Does he know the purpose of a rubber duck?
Obviously. Its a storage receptacle for porridge.
Someone should tell Arthur Weasley then
It's probably a programming duck. I've got like 3. Considering he was lonely it makes sense to me.
My wife is a programmer.
Instead of a duck, I got her a plush frog for her desk.
To help her catch all the bugs.
It makes me smile that not only did you get her a frog, but "To help her catch all the bugs." I almost cried when my wife got me a duck. She's a lucky lady to have married such a caring emotive finger. (Great name btw.)
Thank you!
Rubber duck debugging.
He got it cuz he has a sweet jeep and somebody left it on his jeep
