With the events of the hunt well behind him and his people all but remnants and remains he began to take on a more mainstream form, posing as a guardian known as Silcardo, who hunted among the Tropical Regions of the world for survivors and settlements to lead people back to the last city, during this time period he mostly laid low as possible using his Ship [[The Arbiter]] to move around in a more casual manner and look less suspicious to varying parties that would seek to know more about him. Though he was still eager to continue his crusade against the hive he used his power sparingly to avoid his magic being scanned or picked up on by the vanguard, the fallen, and Hive acolytes bred specifically to hunt him down.

It was here he would meet a person who used no name and went only by the phrase [[The Guardian]], though he spoke little the two spoke enough that they would work that when the guardian was tasked with Raids, Silcardo would be one of the guardians he would pair with for several raids to come. | With the events of the hunt well behind him and his people all but remnants and remains he began to take on a more mainstream form, posing as a guardian known as Silcardo, who hunted among the Tropical Regions of the world for survivors and settlements to lead people back to the last city, during this time period he mostly laid low as possible using his Ship [[The Arbiter]] to move around in a more casual manner and look less suspicious to varying parties that would seek to know more about him.

Though he would assist the guardian in many battles. He took more personal satisfaction in dispatching Crota and bringing on the anger and wrath of his father [[Oryx, the Taken King]]. During the Events of [[Skolas, Kell of Kells]] uprising he would use this as a moment in time which he began to take special interest in the Eliksni and their past beyond just raiders, many of them had wishes and desires he could use much later but for now he merely assisted the guardian where his help was needed, keeping a low profile and seeking no personal interest beyond attempting to gain more knowledge of Hive Arcana. In the final battle with Skolas in the [[Prison of Elders]] and haven gotten to see just how deep the Vex mystery deepened he began to take more invested interest in keeping an eye on their technology for future use. | ||

As the red war began and guardians found themselves completely off guard, Azarias used the Red war as a cover to completely disappear as his guardian alias, using the confusion as a way to Raid former bases of left over houses to recruit allies, build his ranks and structure his plan, during the [[Red War]] he was at his most daring, competing with The House of Dusk for members and getting into several scuffles that he would have otherwise avoided, though he focused mostly on obtaining resources he did begin a small salvage operation to Venus and several vex structures among the [[Sol System]] in an attempt to make use of their Prediction based engines to better Prepare for future battles with the Hive and other possible enemies that could arise due to his actions. With his ketch serving as their main base of operation and several bases among the Ruins of the now tropical wasteland of [[New Hawaii]], he built his ranks up using the islands as a place to set up stealth generators to Cloak High energy and give his troops a place to stretch their legs, even for a temporary use he trained his troops for their most difficult missions to come. As the red war was beginning to swing in the direction of the vanguard. Azarias was made very aware by several Run ins with lightless guardians that it was only a matter of time before he could no longer remain hidden from the eyes of the vanguard at his current pace. With several key battles still being fought to weaken the cabal. Azarias and his House gathered their materials and made their way for the moon. During several key moments where the opportunity presented himself he would attack various [[Sol Divisive]] Minotaurs and their network to gain and take a great deal of [[Minotaur]], noting their great use of stealth but still have unique firepower that made them both stealthy but lethal, while the others were useful they fit his purpose far more. Using the remnants of traces left behind by Oryx via the use of the Ravenous Heart and his own enhanced taken energies and empower by his partially taken crew. He was able to pick up the trail and create apertures to snatch take them from various places around the black garden and like a pocket dip into it and snatch minotaurs and quickly take them. Even more so he acted as a virus using his taken magic to enhance his shape shifting abilities to take on the form of the What Vex solider he desired. This he could discreetly without causing too much of a scene because it was done so quickly. That even if one could sense it, it would be over before it could be sourced. With infinite places and spaces to reach from and into, tracking it to a specific place would be impossible.

With what he needed at his beck and call Azarias would move forward with a second attempt on the World Grave, this time far stronger than prior and armed with his house of partially taken troops behind him, he and a hand chosen group of marauders would attempt a cloak and dagger operation to infiltrate the area and obtain information regarding the Ascendant realm where the worms and other high ranking members of the hive were hidden or had been, though the frontal attack was met with mixed results he found himself in a unique position to expand not only his fallen members but to use the members of the Hive he could take and use to better interface with Hove technologies, his truth intentions however laid with his stealth team which due to the battle within getting to the hellmouth allowed them to move from the opposite side from within the [[Temple of Crota]] and secure a way within the [[Shrine of Oryx]] to which Azarias and his team would meet with the infiltration team. With no way to interact with the Blight sphere without raising an immense amount of attention Azarias took a risk and communed with the withering orb, learning what he could before he gathered information that would better answer his questions on Oryx former flagship the [[Dreadnaught]].

Though this mission could be categorized as a success his risk invoked the anger of several of Crota’s brood, who could sense not only the power of their Grandfather within the creature, but that his essence was not truly what it appeared to be. [[Hashladun]], who upon noticing this plan came closer to the surface from the pit with her sisters not to far behind had began attacking the fallen and taken knights bow beholden to Azarias. She attacked with a source of power he had not yet witnessed, several phantom figures which would be [[Nightmares]], assisted in her ambush of Asiriks and his team. Not seeing a reason to bring about a pointless fight or worse more attention. Azarias and his regiment retreated from the Shrine and returned To the surface of the moon after fighting their way back to the surface and retreated to their Ketch once the skiffs broke orbit to retrieve them. | ||

While his mission could be categorized as a success it did not come without some losses, the biggest being that his gambit was scanned and reports about a Disturbance on the moon was noticed and teams from the Vanguard were sent to investigate, while he mostly avoided detection though traces of energy were however discovered his bigger concern was the new power he had faced from the daughter of Crota, a power that brought his nightmares to surface, that of his own and of his chosen crew. Believing this to be another power yet up the sleeves of the hive, he would dedicate a small research and discovery team to attempt to stay and study this unusual power he had encounter using remnants of unstable energy and Nightmare energy he picked up from their retreat for testing and identification. While he and another team would make preparations to fly to the orbit of Saturns Rings to the very place where he believed he ascended, a place he became the new Taken King.

Upon arriving and his skiffs cloaked to avoid being spotted he was nostalgic of his return to the ship, however on his return mantled with the Touch of Malice and the Power to Take just as Oryx once had the ship appeared to whisper to him, something spoke to him. Wanted to guide him deeper to places in the ship he had not dared go before or alone, the ship demanded a guide, a first navigator to once again take the helm and and the throne. Azarias would oblige and take on such a mantle however it would be done his way and his way along. The whispering voice lead him to a area within the Dreadnaught that allowed him to gain access to the knowledge he had sought. Creation of Sword Worlds, Knowledge of Oversouls, deep sea information on Ascendant Plains as well as the history of Oryx, his past and his wishes to be used a weapon. A weapon he now carried. The irony was not lost on him and in a way the worms played Oryx and the the rest of the Kryll as he would learn they were once called. Armed with this knowledge, guided by the whispers he would see to it that the worms weakness and reliance would be laid bare before him and that they would see that whatever this talk of a final shape was, they would have no part in it. Taking what information he could write and carry he and his hand picked team would board their skiffs and head back, he would be granted more visions, more whispers reaching to him mind. As he stepped back on to his ship, a wave of light from the traveler passed through his ships, through the Dreadnaught and the entire solar system. | Upon arriving and his skiffs cloaked to avoid being spotted he was nostalgic of his return to the ship, however on his return mantled with the Touch of Malice and the Power to Take just as Oryx once had the ship appeared to whisper to him, something spoke to him.

Following this disturbance he witnessed the jubilation of the Ship, the dead flesh of akka reacting to the true darkness and its discovery of the travelers awakening. Knowing this, he quickly made for his ships. In his study of Hive Magic, history of Oryx and search for Worm Gods, Azarias would make several trips to the Dreadnaught, narrowing down his search, gaining more knowledge of the Ascendant Plane. | ||

And with the rise of many new lights coming to the tower it allowed him to squeeze right in without raising too much awareness or concern about his identity. Allying once more with The Guardian, Silcardo was present during the descent into Mars and while he had These days now more than ever had way more sympathy for the Hive d me aboard the Dreadnaught, [[Nokris, [[Herarld Of Xol]] especially. The Hive granted no mercy and neither would he. Together their fireteam marched down into his domain and together they slaughtered The Son of Nokris and The worm god himself rose and spoke, his very voice shaking the area to its core. The event nearly caused a cave in and while the two would reorient themselves and meet up again, Silacardo used this as a moment to gain the power of being involved in the murder, to which even the touch of malice seemingly got a sinister satisfaction from. Only much later did they reconvene and begin their hunt for Xol, which was a perilous fight of its own. Given his use of the Cloaked Essence magic he created he could not fight at his full capacity and make the most of his magic without raising the alarm about his powers and risking his identity. This handicap made it much harder to fight Xol than it initially would have been, had it not been for the guardian [[Ana Bray]] and the assistance of The Warmind [[Rasputin]]. Before him Xol was finally slain and when everyone had left from the scene he was hesitant to absorb the power from the kill, the Warminds awareness raised a huge alarm about just how hidden was he truly. He knew the Warmind was extremely well connected but how connected surprised even him. Knowing it would be even harder to maintain cover, not without constantly evolving his stealth to account for yet another occupant. Even more puzzling was when he attempted to gain power from the kill, there was little to nothing to gain Xol was killed it wasn’t until much later time he discovered that Xol pulled the same stunt as Oryx and made himself into a weapon one wielded by the guardian. | ||
Still though he felt invigoration like he | Still though he felt invigoration like he didn’t believe possible, the death of yet another worm God and his fate at this moment fed him with rivers of pride, however he was not yet content. There were other worms still at large. Akka and Xol were finished though he had nothing to do with the former. Though he hated the ship for personal reasons, his hate did not consume him. Darkness would whisper into his ear quite often, intimately goading him forward down this path, this time showing a world teeming with moons. As he would refer back to the history of Oryx and the Hive he would learn that their first meeting with the worm Gods came from, deep within the Crust of [[Fundament]] the homeworld of the Hive. Armed with this knowledge he only needed to find its coordinates. | ||
