Prior to the Collapse, Rasputin had created a protocol labeled "ABHORRENT IMPERATIVE", which stipulated that if humanity was threatened with extinction and the Traveler attempted to leave Earth, Rasputin would open fire with his most powerful weapons to immobilize the Traveler and thereby coerce it into a "pseudoaltruistic" defensive action; in effect, the Traveler would be forced to protect humanity if it wanted to survive.

Rasputin left an active [[Seraphim Vault|presence]] on Earth and disconnected from the Mindlab on Mars. Having remained dormant during the [[Dark Age]], he was alerted to an asset gone rogue: "SIDDHARTHA GOLEM", an Exo originally intended to act as an avatar of Rasputin, but which had instead been resurrected by a [[Ghost]] to become a Light-bearer named [[Felwinter]]. Enraged at the loss of his "son" to the [[Light]], Rasputin sent falling [[Warsat]]s and armies of militarized [[frame]]s to terminate the now-Risen Exo, but all failed to kill Felwinter. Rasputin subsequently laid a trap promising Felwinter and the [[Iron Lords]] [[SIVA]], a powerful nanotechnology capable of disassembling matter and reconstituting it into almost any desired form. | |||
Unfortunately, despite Lord [[Felwinter]]'s attempts to reason with him, Rasputin immediately activated all of his defensive measures against the Iron Lords, including SIVA.

After conversing with Ana Bray and a very reluctant Zavala, the Guardian interacted with Rasputin directly to ask for his cooperation. The ancient Warmind agreed to aid the Guardians in finding a way to stop the Almighty by rearming his systems. Firstly, he had the Guardian head to a secret bunker in the EDZ, which required manual access for Rasputin to make a connection. Traveling to the dead zone, the Guardian, Ana, and Zavala are able to clear the bunker of Fallen pillagers and make a connection with Rasputin, restarting the bunker and allowing the Warmind to forge weaponry for the Guardians. Further, Rasputin had Guardians defend Seraphim Towers being constructed throughout the system from raiding Fallen and Cabal. | After conversing with Ana Bray and a very reluctant Zavala, the Guardian interacted with Rasputin directly to ask for his cooperation.

Finally coming to an understanding with Zavala, the Titan Vanguard vows that once ''The Almighty'' has been broken, he will agree to work with Rasputin, granting the Warmind whatever resources the Last City has in battling the coming Darkness. In addition, Rasputin begun to send his combat frames on missions to secure "valuable assets" in the form of sleeper nodes. | ||

After speaking with Ana, the Guardians approached Rasputin at his request, who confirmed that Clovis continued to exist as an AI, confined to the Exoscience labs of Europa and furious that his plans are now ruined. Further, Rasputin clarified his own current state, confirming that Felwinter's memories are now his own, that he had come to view himself the way Felwinter had: as a tyrant who squandered a power that could've been used to save humanity. Grateful for the Guardian's efforts to save him from the brink of oblivion, Rasputin vowed to return the favor by using all of his power to protect humanity. However, Rasputin stated that he still did not have the necessary code to upload himself to Seraph Station, thereby advising the Guardian to continue the strategy of gathering submind data. | After speaking with Ana, the Guardians approached Rasputin at his request, who confirmed that Clovis continued to exist as an AI, confined to the Exoscience labs of Europa and furious that his plans are now ruined.

After a time, Rasputin informed the Guardian that he still lacked the key codes necessary to regain control over the Warsat Network, requiring them to continue the mission of retrieving Submind data even though there aren't any new Subminds left. Nonetheless, Rasputin advices the Guardian to stay the course in gathering Submind data for his reconstruction algorithm.

Nonetheless, Rasputin advices the Guardian to stay the course in gathering Submind data for his reconstruction algorithm. Later on, Rasputin would speak with the Guardian on his restoration has made him something more, having understood why humanity in the past saw him as a protector and savior, a war god of their own making, causing him to believe that he may no different than Xivu Arath in that regard. However, Rasputin states that what makes him different is that, unlike Xivu Arath, he does not wage war for its own sake but to safeguard those under his charge. Thus, he vows that once the Warsat Network is under his control once more, he will smite the enemies of humanity, starting with the Wrathborn threat. | ||
Despite Rasputin attempting to calculate all possibilities prior to taking a course of action, the ultimate nature of Xivu Arath's wargaming escaped | Despite Rasputin attempting to calculate all possibilities prior to taking a course of action, the ultimate nature of Xivu Arath's wargaming escaped Rasputin. Mara Sov came to the Vanguard to provide a warning that if Rasputin were to wield the power of the Warsat Network against the invading armies of Xivu Arath, such a slaughter would provide the fuel necessary for Xivu Arath to open an invasion portal directly to Earth, such as befell Torobatl and the Cabal empire. Informed of this, Rasputin became uncertain in his reason for existing. If unable to wield his weaponry to protect humanity, what purpose did he serve? This question required an answer, one which Rasputin informed the Guardian they would calculate towards, encouraging the collection of further submind data, and the occupation of invading forces through regular combat. | ||
After weeks of collecting more submind data, Rasputin and Ana learn that [[Eramis, Kell of Darkness|Eramis]] has discovered the back door virus the Guardian implanted in Seraph Station, removed it, and is now planning to activate "ABHORRENT IMPERATIVE" to destroy the Traveler with the Warsats. In order to prevent this, Rasputin tells the Guardians that his repair algorithm has restored him enough to insert the Pillory Engram containing him into Seraph Station and trigger the self-destruct. Ana refuses to do this, but Rasputin tells her it’s the only way, citing it as his purpose as a shield rather than as a weapon. | |||
[[File:RasputinDeath.png|thumb|300px|[[Anastasia Bray|Ana]] mourns Rasputin's final death]] | |||
The Guardian, Pillory Engram in hand, fights their way back into the Orbital Command Nexus and inserts Rasputin into the Station. As this is happening, Eramis is preparing to fire the Warsats at the Traveler, who then appears to leave the Last City as its residents look up in fear and uncertainty. As it reaches low orbit, it seems to come to a stop. As the Warsats power up and begin to fire at the Traveler, Rasputin activates the AURORA SACRIFICE protocol, destroying himself and the Warsats. As Eramis looks on in hate, she wonders why the Traveler refused to abandon Humanity. At this point, a vision of [[The Witness]] shows up behind her and tells her that it’s because it has nowhere left to run, as an army of pyramid ships is shown to be crossing Jupiter's path, along with another ship containing Calus. | |||
Afterwards, the Guardian arrives at the HELM, to receive a message from Ana Bray. She says that she had been thinking of Rasputin as a way to unlock the secrets of her past, in order to find out who she was, but in the end, she realized that Rasputin choose to be more than that, more than just a weapon, he had refused to be what everyone else wanted him to be and choose to be what he wanted to be. Ana realized that Rasputin had been family to her and that because of him, she knew who she was, and who she wanted to be. After ending the transmission, the Guardian goes to the now dormant Exo Frame to receive one last message from Rasputin. In this message, Rasputin tells the Guardian that if they are receiving this message, that meant that he had died and that he hoped his sacrifice wasn’t in vain. He tells the Guardian that although we may have survived this, there was still trouble on the horizon. Rasputin tells us that the Neptunian city Osiris saw in his visions is real and that there was an artifact called "the Veil", an object of immense power and somehow connected to the Traveler, inside of this city. He states that all other files regarding Nefele Stronghold were deleted by someone else other than him and that the information was in the files that the Guardian had retrieved from the Cosmodrome and that he had taken the liberty of decrypting them for Osiris, asking the Guardian to tell Osiris to consider it a gift from one old miser to another. Before the message ends, Rasputin leaves the Guardian with one last piece of wisdom. He tells them that Ana was afraid that she had forgotten to teach Rasputin to trust, but entrusts this knowledge to the Guardian, calling them his Seraph. In his parting words, Rasputin says that Earth no longer needed him, as all they needed was each other. | |||

When Rasputin detected a faint signal on the outskirts of our Solar System, he jumped into action. Unable to identify the source or type, he believed there was evidence to suggest there were traces of dark matter.

Using the minimal data that he had, he concluded that ''"IT"'' was hostile and capable of an interplanetary extinction event.
