Praedyth, seemingly imprisoned by the Vex, tried his best to evade them and survive, which he managed while frequently creating messages in hopes someone would receive them. In these messages he detailed who he was, and his journey with Pahanin and Kabr, claiming The Vault had taken it's toll on them, with Pahanin talking to himself, and Kabr becoming "intense at time." While in The Vault, he took notice of The Taken approaching the heart of The Vault to take control of the Vex's Collective, who the Guardian later thwarts in a story mission. His time in The Vault ended when he heard the Vex "Closing the door." After this, he tragically cries out claiming he lived, and was a real person within The Vault, already understanding his fate. He was erased from the timeline, (presumably by The Gorgons) and warped to be, as we learn from Ikora, a myth and a mere footnote in history books. | Praedyth, seemingly imprisoned by the Vex, tried his best to evade them and survive, which he managed while frequently creating messages in hopes someone would receive them.

Several centuries later, Praedyth's messages escaped The Vault, and reached the Vanguard. Ikora then sends the Guardian on a mission to The Vault to stop the Taken detailed in Praedyth's messages. While in The Vault, the Guardian tracks the signal from the messages to find a skeleton with a faint signature of Light. This is assumed to be Praedyth, however considering the nature of The Vault of Glass, it is possible Praedyth is kept within his own dimension created by the Vex, or inhabits different timelines, giving the Warlock a bit of hope. | Several centuries later, Praedyth's messages escaped The Vault, and reached the Vanguard.

However, Ahamkara grant wishes in a devious way, implying Praedyth within the Vault is his wish come true, held captive for all time, neverending. | ||
