Since the only Ahamkara in the Sol System, Riven, was slain, Mara Sov and her Techeuns would use her Heart to conjure her spirit, so she could grant the 15th wish. While the spell roused Riven's spirit as hoped, the Ahamkara ''refused'' to grant the Guardian's wish for a "new pathway". Instead, she bargains with Mara: in exchange for granting the wish, Mara and the Guardians would ensure the safety of her eggs that she had hidden within her lair, thus ensuring the safety of her kind's future. Though this bargain risks the Ahamkara species to thrive and terrorize the people of Sol once again, Mara agrees to Riven's bargain as there's little other choice. However, after descending into [[Riven's Lair]], the Guardians and Mara learn that her clutch of eggs had been cast into the Ascendant Plane to orbit the material plane. How this was done and by whom is unknown but Mara, Petra, and the Techeuns worked out a strategy to "catch" the eggs one at a time using the [[Ley Lines]], thereby allowing them to draw the eggs to Riven's Lair for the Guardians to secure before either [[Sol Divisive]] Vex or rampant Taken could capture or corrupt them.

===The Pale Heart===
During the Vanguard's incursion into the Pale Heart in pursuit of the Witness, they discovered a mountain containing caverns full of Ahamkara bones, along with living Ahamkara tissue embedded in the walls. There they faced [[Kataxiia, Tormentor of the Ahamkara]], a massive [[Tormentor]] who attempted to block their passage.
