Throughout Cayde's life, he's found that the solutions to the problems he faces are often not where you expect them to be. As often with history, a discovery comes from the most unexpected of places. Penicillin was discovered from moldy bread, gunpowder was discovered in the pursuit of the elixir of immortality, and countless weapons have been made when trying to improve the lives of others. Cayde has chosen to embrace this cycle, creating weapons and medicines alike, using the applicable developments with one to progress the other. This has lead to him having a variety of elixirs and bombs, some enhancing people directly, others simply there for the purposes of healing, and the bombs use the detrimental properties of his medical experiments to great effect.
Overall, Cayde believes that chaos must precede order, so he enjoys the former while striving for the latter.
