After escaping the cold world, the Drifter returned to the inner solar system on a new ship dubbed ''[[The Derelict]]'' with a massive object from the [[Nine]] in tow and had acquired a small [[Taken]] army in a pocket dimension which he could control using [[Mote of Dark|Motes of Dark]]. His goal was to go to [[the Last City]] and start a competition he dubbed "[[Gambit]]" which would generate Motes of Dark and also recruit [[Guardian]]s into a new crew. The Drifter became associated with another group of Lightbearers who leaned toward the Darkness known as the [[Shadows of Yor]] until he had a falling out with [[Callum Sol]]. Following this the Drifter encountered the rogue [[Gunslinger]] [[Shin Malphur]], who had begun tracking the Drifter after learning of his connections with the Shadows, whom Malphur was hunting.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Lore]]: [[Lore:A_Drifter's_Gambit#Justified_Means|Justified Means]]''</ref> During their first chance encounter in a neutral location, the Drifter told Malphur some of his story but left out his name, asking only to be known as the Drifter while Malphur told him to call him "pal".

Drifter asked if he and Calus would be fighting over [[Guardian]]s now, and Calus replied that (his) [[Shadows]] were his. Drifter took that as a “yes” and spoke about how “everyone is crazy, now.” He tells Calus that the [[Cabal]] emperor is not even Cabal anymore, and leaves on his [[Sparrow]].<ref name="ShadowOfSilence"/> | ||

After several successful trial runs, the Drifter introduces Gambit Prime to the Guardian as a role-based, single-round evolution of Gambit. Unlike regular Gambit, Gambit Prime utilized counterfeit [[Primeval]]s of the Drifter's creation from the acasual energy of the Haul, his Gambit banks full with Dark motes, and sheer force of will; the most prominent having the likeness of the late [[Likeness of Oryx|Oryx]] and his [[Likeness of Nokris|son]].

During this development however, the Drifter's actions eventually reached the prying eyes of the Warlock [[Aunor Mahal]] of the [[Praxic Order]], who has been after the nameless Light-bearer in his illicit schemes of tempting [[Guardian]]s with the unscrupulous power of [[Darkness]]. Having been barred by the Vanguard from investigating, She called upon the Guardian to monitor the Drifter instead and report their findings. | ||
