The next day, Aunor began investigating the possibility that [[The Guardian|the Young Wolf]], the hero of the [[Red War]], may have been responsible for the murder of [[Cayde-6]] during the [[Scorn]] Barons breakout from the [[Prison of Elders]]. Utilizing one of the labs within the [[Gensym Scribes]] complex, Aunor viewed records and footage recovered from [[Sundance]], the [[Ghost]] of Cayde-6, during the last moments of her life. As she viewed the footage, the Drifter entered the lab disguised as another Warlock. Aware of the true identity of the Warlock,<ref name="TJ">'''Bungie, 3/4/2019, [[Weblore]]:''' ''[https://www.bungie.net/en/Explore/Detail/News/47655 Narrative Preview - The Job]''</ref> Aunor greeted him and stated she would not be using the lab much longer. The Drifter told her he was in no hurry and that he had always wanted to see a Praxic Warlock at work. Assuring him that it was glamorous, Aunor created a full-room simulation of Sundance's last moments before she was shot by [[Pirrha, the Rifleman]]. As the lab's computer confirmed the footage had not been altered, Aunor focused on the bullet that destroyed Sundance, at which point the Drifter noted a normal Scorn bullet could not destroy a Ghost. Ignoring him, she had the computer identify the projectile as a Devourer Bullet, which were normally fired from [[Weapons of Sorrow]] and their [[Hive]] equivalents.<ref name="MoC6">'''Bungie, (3/3/2019), [[Weblore]]:''' ''[https://www.bungie.net/en/News/Article/47656 Narrative Preview - The Murder of Cayde-6]''</ref> | The next day, Aunor began investigating the possibility that [[The Guardian|the Young Wolf]], the hero of the [[Red War]], may have been responsible for the murder of [[Cayde-6]] during the [[Scorn]] Barons breakout from the [[Prison of Elders]].

Not long after her investigation of the Drifter ended, Aunor and a group of Praxic Warlocks confronted [[Shin Malphur]] in a campsite above the salt mines of [[Trostland]]. Shin was about to execute two Guardians he suspected of having gone rogue, and had already killed a third one, when the Praxics interrupted him by killing his hostages and restraining their Ghosts. He and Aunor had a quarrel over their respective ways of handling the issue of corrupted Guardians, the Warlock condemning Shin's unscrupulosity in killing Ghosts and him arguing the Dredgens could not be rehabilitated, for the power of Darkness had already tainted and addicted them. Eventually, Shin begrudgingly agreed to let the Praxics have the Guardians, with a warning that if they ever transgressed again, he would be the one to deliver the judgement.<ref name="The Salt Mines">'''Bungie (2019/3/5)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[ | Not long after her investigation of the Drifter ended, Aunor and a group of Praxic Warlocks confronted [[Shin Malphur]] in a campsite above the salt mines of [[Trostland]].

Sometime later, | Sometime later, while she was chasing them through the [[Last City]] on her [[Sparrow]], the Dredgens captured Aunor's Ghost Bahaghari using a Praxic restraining band. Aunor was thrown off a bridge and into the water by a rocket fired from a [[Countess SA/2]] launcher from an overpass nearby. She swam to the shore and hijacked a [[Pike]] to get to the overpass, and contacted the Drifter for coordinates of any possible Shadow safehouses in the area. By the time she got to an abandoned warehouse in District 125, the Dredgens had already ransomed Bahaghari, demanding clearance to take their jumpships out of the system by midnight. The Ghost managed to hack the restraining band and contact Aunor, hinting as to where it was being kept and claiming a breach without a team was impossible. Aunor, however, managed to board a maglev train due to pass by the warehouse at midnight and persuade the conductor and passengers to leave before requisitioning it. She drove the train towards where Bahaghari was being kept and, detonating proximity mines placed on the overpass just above the warehouse, derailed the train to have it crash down into the building - freeing her Ghost and killing herself and several Dredgens in the process. Once rezzed, she dealt with the surviving Shadows. Ikora contacted Aunor to express gratitude for her help in handling the Shadows, but stressed that the Drifter and Gambit should continue. Aunor agreed, noting that the City needed his connections and means if he could truly bring [[Orin]] back.<ref name="D125">'''Bungie (2019/3/5)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Joker's Wild]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Lore]]: [[Lore:The Warlock Aunor#District 125|The Warlock Aunor - District 125]]''</ref> She later found the Drifter in a civilian part of the [[Tower (Destiny 2)|Tower]] and insisted on having a conversation with him; she thanked for the information on the Shadows he had provided her and admitted to having listened to the tapes he had recorded for his protégé. While pointing out she still considered him a criminal not to be trusted, she admitted that Orin had given him a chance and he might be useful in bringing her back.<ref name="Civilian Atrium South" /> | ||

Arriving on Europa, Aunor tracked Trestin to [[Cadmus Ridge]] and discovered her climbing a steep embankment to reach a obelisk buried at the top. Intercepting her at the end of the climb, Aunor drew her sword and ordered her to stop and surrender peacefully. The corrupted Lightbearer hesitated for a second before diving for the obelisk, forcing Aunor to drive her sword through the traitor's heart and keep her imprisoned and unrevived alongside the other captured Guardians.<ref>'''Bungie (2021/2/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Chosen]] - [[Sola's Scar]]''</ref> | Arriving on Europa, Aunor tracked Trestin to [[Cadmus Ridge]] and discovered her climbing a steep embankment to reach a obelisk buried at the top.

Aunor is seen as a diligent, often zealous, follower of the Praxic dogma. She believes the biggest threat to the City are the Guardians flirting with the Darkness, and does not stop at most anything to bring them to justice. Her means are often deemed ruthless, yet she does not wish to eliminate corrupted Guardians but rather give them an (usually forced) chance at redemption - something she has a clash with Shin Malphur over. She is known to be very suspicious and quick to jump to conclussions, the epitome of it being her investigation of the Drifter which eventually proved her doubts regarding him insubstantial. She does, however, admit to her mistake.<ref name="Message X">'''Bungie (2019/3/5)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[ | Aunor is seen as a diligent, often zealous, follower of the Praxic dogma.
