Rahool briefed a [[The Guardian|Guardian]] during their mission to the [[Moon]] to destroy the sword of [[Crota, Son of Oryx]]. He explained to them how the sword drained the [[Light]] from the Guardians it killed, and that the sword was guarded by the [[Swarm Princes]] in the [[Hive]]'s fortress.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[The Sword of Crota]]''</ref> After the Guardian succeeded in killing the Princes and destroying the sword, Rahool congratulated them and noted that while many believed Crota would one day awaken and more weapons would be forged in his name, he believed that the destruction of the Hive Prince's sword brought humanity one step closer to reclaiming the Moon and defeating the Hive.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Activities/Story:_Moon,_Ocean_of_Storms#The_Sword_of_Crota|The Sword of Crota]]''</ref> | |||

When that same Guardian destroyed a [[Shrine of Oryx]] on the Moon, Rahool contacted him and noted that the exiled Warlock [[Vanguard]] [[Osiris]] had spoken of and feared the Hive god called [[Oryx, the Taken King|Oryx]] and that his agents hunted for the shrines. He speculated that if Osiris still lived, he would know of the Guardian's heroic deed.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]], [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Activities/Story: | When that same Guardian destroyed a [[Shrine of Oryx]] on the Moon, Rahool contacted him and noted that the exiled Warlock [[Vanguard]] [[Osiris]] had spoken of and feared the Hive god called [[Oryx, the Taken King|Oryx]] and that his agents hunted for the shrines.

After the Guardian killed a [[Cyclops]] and analyzed its mind core at a research station in the [[Ishtar Academy]] on [[Venus]], they brought the data to Rahool for decryption. Rahool examined the [[Vex]] code and provided the Guardian with the information they needed to summon a [[Gate Lord]].

Upon learning that the Guardian had breached the [[Cabal]]'s [[Exclusion Zone]] on [[Mars]], Rahool requested that they travel to [[Freehold]] and explore the ruins of [[Clovis Bray (corporation)|Clovis Bray]]'s offices there. As they journeyed to Mars, Rahool contacted them and explained that the Cryptarchy had wanted to gain access to Freehold's secrets for years and begged them to prevent the Cabal from destroying any of its technological wonders.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]], | Upon learning that the Guardian had breached the [[Cabal]]'s [[Exclusion Zone]] on [[Mars]], Rahool requested that they travel to [[Freehold]] and explore the ruins of [[Clovis Bray (corporation)|Clovis Bray]]'s offices there.

Despite that setback, he remained optimistic about the other technology within Clovis Bray that humanity could access once more and hoped it signified the dawn of a new age for the City.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Activities/Story:_Mars,_Meridian_Bay#The_Buried_City|The Buried City]]''</ref> | ||

Upon learning of Queen [[Mara Sov]]'s supposed demise during the [[Battle of Saturn]] at the onset of the [[Taken War]], Rahool decided to use the instability the Reef was experiencing as an opportunity to open new lines of communication between the City's cryptarchy and the Reef's. He wrote a letter to [[Master Ives]] expressing his condolences for the loss of Mara, but then informed Ives that he and the other City cryptarchs had been withholding knowledge about the history of Earth and its colonies, along with other sensitive secrets about the origins of the Awoken and others like them, from the Reef due to their fears of what the Queen would have done with that information. He suggested that with the Queen gone, they would be willing to share that knowledge for the Reef's own secrets and the promise of working together in future studies.<ref name="OEATR">'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]], [[Lore]]: [[Lore: | Upon learning of Queen [[Mara Sov]]'s supposed demise during the [[Battle of Saturn]] at the onset of the [[Taken War]], Rahool decided to use the instability the Reef was experiencing as an opportunity to open new lines of communication between the City's cryptarchy and the Reef's.

During the [[Red War]], Master Rahool fortunately survived the fall of the [[Tower]] and the [[Red Legion]]'s invasion of the Last City. Once the City was liberated, Rahool returned to his duties at the new [[Tower (Destiny 2)|Tower]], lending his decryption skills to the Guardians. Not long after returning to the City, Rahool received a reply to the message he had sent more than two years ago to Master Ives. The Reef cryptarch insulted Rahool for his blatant attempt to take advantage of the Reef's grief and asserted that the Reef held far greater knowledge than anything that could be found on Earth, although he accepted the offer to exchange information between the two cryptarchies.<ref name="OEATR"/> | During the [[Red War]], Master Rahool fortunately survived the fall of the [[Tower]] and the [[Red Legion]]'s invasion of the Last City.

When the [[Imperial Cabal]] led by [[Empress Caiatl]] began their [[Clash of the Chosen|incursion]] into the [[Sol System]], Rahool was assigned by Commander [[Zavala]] to Operation Haystack, which was designed to intercept and translate Cabal communications for information on their new foes. Amongst the intercepted data, Rahool flagged information on Caiatl's diet as important, noting that the Empress was serving dishes at formal occasions that had their origins in lower classes of Cabal society. Although the translation and interception were incomplete, Rahool speculated that this was a sign of Caiatl attempting to differentiate herself from her father [[Emperor Calus|Calus]]'s opulence and [[Dominus Ghaul]]'s utilitarianism.<ref>'''Bungie (2021/2/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Chosen]] - [[ | When the [[Imperial Cabal]] led by [[Empress Caiatl]] began their [[Clash of the Chosen|incursion]] into the [[Sol System]], Rahool was assigned by Commander [[Zavala]] to Operation Haystack, which was designed to intercept and translate Cabal communications for information on their new foes.
