Theories on the Vex (Destiny)

My hope is that the Vex have the darkest backstory: That Humanity is doomed, and the Vex know it, because they have travelled back in time from a point where humans are merely legend. Like jumping back in time and finding Earth populated with unicorns.

I was thinking similarly. That they're the result of mankind's eventual defeat and/or assimilation by the darkness. Either theyre fundamentally changed/converted/"upgraded" into something more useful than squishy humans, or there's a darkness infused human equivalent species somewhere in the future manufacturing these things.

Then theyre being sent back to make sure that humanities destruction/conversion stays "canon" as it were.

It's totally not that. But I'd like it if it were something really dark and bleak.
