That first image of the hunter with his sniper rifle looks really familiar. Might be in The Art of Destiny. I seem to recall that hunter being identified not as Cayde-6 but his friend who he replaced on the Vanguard... Will verify this afternoon.

A number of the images have been seen before, a small handful of them I don't believe have been seen.

Yes, Art of Destiny. (p. 123) & Ghost Edition: Arms and Armament booklet (p. 52) It was originally Andal Brask, but they liked the design and used it for Cayde-6

Haha! I could not remember I had the Arms and Armament book! I kept picturing that picture in a smaller form book but could only think of Cayde-6's Treasure Island from The Taken King. Thanks for the reminder. :)

Chris Barrett and Deej appeared on the 100th Episode of IGN's Fireteam Chat. The IGN host (Destin Legarie) brought up Seven Seraphs again like he says he has many times before in the past.

I don't watch this IGN show, however, they seem to have been privileged to be host to the revealing of some never before seen Concept Art. I could be mistaken but a number of the images Chris shares I don't think have ever been revealed before. (A few have been seen in the Art Of Destiny book, Developer Conference Presentations, or other online repositories)

It looks like GameRant has gone through the IGN video and pulled out the concept art images that were shown in the special 100th Episode of Fireteam Chat:

I have not verified that this gallery shows each and every image, but this looks like a significant majority of them. The webpage gallery is much easier to digest compared to the lengthy IGN video.
Sadly, the artist's credit is dropped in the transition from the video to the unrelated webpage gallery

So, Chris Barrett tweeted this this morning:

As far as I know, the Seven Seraphs haven't been mentioned in an official capacity since... before Destiny released?

Based on other Tweets and Reddit posts, this looks to maybe just be a troll tweet?

There is a prior Tweet from Chris that may or may not be related, from Oct. 2015:

I forgot about this old emblem I made. I still have the shirt around somewhere... K" J+ J+EFK+=+LJ.?LC+;CL.

^ Older Tweet may have happened after a prior appearance on IGN's show? Or run in with host Destin?

Actually, it was also mentioned during the Cosmodrome ride along that the Seven Serephs were a group who build Rasputin's Serephim Vault.

Then, there's the Grimoire card Lord Timur. It implies that some Exos might either be Warminds or be controlled by them:

You seem far too obsessed with these ‘Warminds’.” Timur stops and stares into the horizon as if smelling something; not danger, discovery. He draws his fellow Iron Lord close. “Tell me, Felwinter,” he whispers, “what does the word Seraph mean to you?”

Exos being controlled by Warminds would fit with four Ishtar Collective scientist Maya Sundaresh and her wife Chioma Esi, along with Duane-McNiadh, and Dr. Shim returning to a Vex structure in the form of "biomechanical proxies" with their thoughts firewalled and passed through a Warmind to keep them safe from Vex interference. (Ghost Fragment: Vex 4, See also: The Exo Stranger, Founder of the Future War Cult?)

Also, our ever present Clovis Bray was involved:

"With all respect, Lord Timur, whatever game you are playing with me has gone on far too long. This is just another Dead Zone."

"Oh, is it?"

Timur directs Felwinter's eyes towards the eastern horizon, where a building crowned with the initials "C.B." is now in view.

"We all have creators – humans, Exo, Warminds, even those poor Awoken. Some are just easier to find."

Let's just say I can't wait to really dig in to the story of the Iron Lords! :)

Excited for some Osiris action in Des2ny. Maybe the story will actually involve the speaker this time!
