During his first off-world mission on [[Mercury]], Saint-14 had taken it upon himself to evacuate refugees from [[Old Russia]] in an effort to escape the Fallen. Upon arrival on Mercury, he was horrified to discover that Mercury had been converted into a [[machine world]] by the Vex, but his refugees managed to settle down regardless, founding [[Zephyr Station]]. This settlement would be short-lived, as the Fallen [[House of Rain]] had tracked Saint and the refugees all the way from Earth, and they managed to wipe out the entire settlement, leaving Saint alone, pinned down in a [[Ward of Dawn]]. Left to lament his failure to protect the refugees and the hopelessness of his situation, Saint broadcast an emergency signal warning of the Fallen presence in the ruined settlement.<ref name="CorridorsOfTimePt1">'''Bungie (2019/12/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of Dawn]] - [[Missions]]: [[Corridors of Time Part 1]]''</ref> | During his first off-world mission on [[Mercury]], Saint-14 had taken it upon himself to evacuate refugees from [[Old Russia]] in an effort to escape the Fallen.

During the [[Battle of Six Fronts]], Saint-14 was assigned to the western front of the battlefield. When a detachment of nine Guardians from the [[Firebreak Order]] overstretched their lines and became trapped by the Fallen, Saint was sent to rescue them. He found eight of them downed, but spotted their Ghosts hiding on a nearby ridge out of sight of the Fallen. He joined [[Elriq]], the one Titan who remained standing, in a crater for cover, and informed her that they needed to clear a path for the Ghosts. Above them he saw one of Osiris' reflections cut through the air and burn down several Fallen with Solar energy, scattering their ranks. Saint asked Elriq if she was ready, but the Titan was scared as the Fallen reorganized and reformed their lines. He told her that they needed her but she was scared to die. Reassuring her that they would not perish, the eight Ghosts then joined them, and Saint convinced Elriq that this would be a new chance at the battle and they charged their foes to provide cover to resurrect their fallen comrades.<ref>'''Bungie (2019/12/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of Dawn]] - [[Lore]]: [[Lore: | During the [[Battle of Six Fronts]], Saint-14 was assigned to the western front of the battlefield.

Their mission succeeded, and Saint continued to fight alongside Elriq for the rest of the battle. They never fell to their foes once and, when the Fallen's signal jamming was brought down, he reported it to the rest of the front commanders that the western flank had held. Osiris, Lord [[Shaxx]], and Lord [[Saladin Forge]] reported the same from their fronts, and they all laughed at Shaxx's mocking of the Fallen. Osiris reported no further casualties, which Saint credited to his work and Elriq for aiding him in resurrecting the other members of the Firebreak Order. He praised her contributions, but she told him that it had been an honor to fight by his side. Saladin was impressed and questioned how many times he died in his charge, but Shaxx refused to believe Saint's claim that he never fell during the battle. Saint wondered if this was because Shaxx himself had died, and noted that he heard a rumor that one of Shaxx's horns had been broken by the Fallen during the battle. As Shaxx protested, Elriq vouched for Saint's claim, and Shaxx admitted that he wished they had more Titans like him. Saint once more credited Elriq for her covering fire, and then turned his attention to Osiris, who had died many times in the battle and despaired over how many close calls the Last City's defenders faced. He reminded his friend that it was due to him they held at all, but Osiris focused only on the casualties of the battle.<ref>'''Bungie (2019/12/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of Dawn]] - [[Lore]]: [[Lore: | Their mission succeeded, and Saint continued to fight alongside Elriq for the rest of the battle.

After the destruction of the [[Iron Lords]], Saint-14 was one of several [[Guardian]]s who attempted to keep order in the [[Last City]] as chaos threatened to reign. Under the guidance of the [[Speaker]], he helped to establish the [[Consensus]] and [[Vanguard]], serving as the first Titan Vanguard. Alongside him was [[Tallulah Fairwind]] as the first [[Hunter]] Vanguard, while he recommended that his friend [[Osiris]] serve as the first [[Warlock]] Vanguard and Vanguard Commander based on his leadership and actions during the Battle of Six Fronts.<ref>'''Bungie (2017/12/5)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Curse of Osiris]] | After the destruction of the [[Iron Lords]], Saint-14 was one of several [[Guardian]]s who attempted to keep order in the [[Last City]] as chaos threatened to reign.

The Titan defended his friend from these accusations and reassured the Speaker that Osiris was simply a man who had little time for games of obfuscation.<ref name="GO">'''Bungie (2015/5/19)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[House of Wolves (expansion)|House of Wolves]], [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Allies/Osiris#Osiris|Osiris]]''</ref> | ||
After the Battle of Six Fronts, Saint-14 and five other Guardians under his command continued on the Titan's crusade against the Fallen, encountering [[Sekris|Sekris, Baron of Shanks]] in a remote Fallen settlement. Sekris would mention Saint-14's various campaigns such as Battle of Six Fronts, Boyle Pass and Weapons of Rain against the Fallen. Later he questioned Saint if the Traveler spoke to him, to which he was met with silence deciding to leave and sparing the life of Sekris. | After the Battle of Six Fronts, Saint-14 and five other Guardians under his command continued on the Titan's crusade against the Fallen, encountering [[Sekris|Sekris, Baron of Shanks]] in a remote Fallen settlement.

Following the murder of [[Nian Ruo]] and several other Guardians at the hands of [[Taniks, the Scarred]], Saint-14 was dispatched by the Speaker and Osiris to eliminate the deadly Fallen mercenary. Saint-14 failed to track down Taniks, but the Hunter [[Cayde-6]], a comrade of Nian's, located him instead and was believed to have killed Taniks, although it was later revealed that the resilient Fallen had survived the encounter.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]] | Following the murder of [[Nian Ruo]] and several other Guardians at the hands of [[Taniks, the Scarred]], Saint-14 was dispatched by the Speaker and Osiris to eliminate the deadly Fallen mercenary.

In the aftermath of the [[Battle of the Twilight Gap]], Saint-14 hunted down [[Solkis, Kell of Devils|Solkis]], [[Kell]] of the [[House of Devils]], who was one of the instigators of the Fallen's attempted assault on the Last City. The two fought a fierce battle, with Saint-14 expending most of his [[Light]] during their fight. He managed to defeat the Kell by gathering his remaining Light into a headbutt, using the horn of his [[Helm of Saint-14|helm]] to pierce Solkis' head. He had his Ghost confirm the Kell was dead, wary of the powerful Kell's strength. Relieved that he had ended the threat of the House of Devils for the moment, he contacted the Speaker and informed him of his victory. The Speaker praised his adopted son and declared him the greatest Guardian of the City and that all would know of his deeds. Saint-14 informed him that he would need time to recover before returning, and after noticing concern in the Speaker's tone inquired what was wrong. The Speaker informed the Exo that Osiris was on [[Mercury]] in the [[Fields of Glass|Caloris Basin]], alarming Saint-14, who believed that such actions would provoke the Vex and threaten their newly hard-won peace. Vowing to stop his former comrade, Saint-14 ordered his Ghost to prepare his Vex arsenal and prepare for travel to Mercury.<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]] | In the aftermath of the [[Battle of the Twilight Gap]], Saint-14 hunted down [[Solkis, Kell of Devils|Solkis]], [[Kell]] of the [[House of Devils]], who was one of the instigators of the Fallen's attempted assault on the Last City.

Saint-14 arrived on Mercury and discovered that Osiris had entered the [[Infinite Forest]], a Vex machine designed to predict and simulate reality.

In his letter to Osiris, he chided his friend for failing to see why Saint-14 had once recommended him to be the Vanguard Commander and how he had hoped Osiris would put the people of the Last City before his desire to explore and learn, but vowed to fight in his stead one last time. He also predicted that Osiris would hear news of his death and blame himself, although he surmised that guilt would be fleeting. To the Speaker, Saint-14 told his mentor that having seen what the Last City could become he was certain the Speaker would be the one to lead them to it. Lastly, he told his "inspiration" that he would be sending their last gift, the Perfect Paradox, back to them and that it would be good to see them again soon.<ref>'''Bungie (2017/5/12)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Curse of Osiris]] | Saint-14 arrived on Mercury and discovered that Osiris had entered the [[Infinite Forest]], a Vex machine designed to predict and simulate reality.

Saint-14 entered the Infinite Forest but never found Osiris, instead encountering the Vex and fighting them for several centuries due to the time manipulation of the Forest, destroying thousands of them while chasing after Reflections of Osiris. Eventually, the Vex created a [[Axis Mind|Mind]] specifically designed to drain his Light. Faced against [[Agioktis]] and its armies of [[Descendants]], Saint attempted to send Geppetto away only for the Vex to later trace and kill the Ghost.

Days later, Osiris discovered a distress signal from Saint's Ghost in the Vex network and dispatched the Guardian to [[Nessus]] to open a gateway into the network and find it. The Guardian located the dead Ghost held by a broken Goblin atop a pile of dead Vex and heard Saint's last moments before he is killed. With the Ghost as a guide, the Guardian again used the Sundial, this time managing to arrive at the proper moment in time. They come across Saint amidst the wreckage of several Vex, his Light already drained by the Mind created to stop him: [[Agioktis, Martyr Mind]]. Before the Guardian arrived, he had been about to send his Ghost away, but with the Guardian there, he believed, the Vex were doomed. Agioktis trapped Saint as it battled the Guardian, backed up by [[Descendants|Descendant]] Vex and shielded by several [[Minotaur]]s. After a pitched battle, the Martyr Mind trapped the Guardian, and thus released Saint from his own trap; with his Light restored, Saint used his [[Sentinel Shield]] to smash Agioktis with the very Light it had been intending to drain. Saint then told the Guardian to return to their own time and open a gate from the Infinite Forest for him; even though that means he would remain in the Forest for years until that happened, the Vex had expended all of their effort in creating the Martyr Mind, and now had nothing to stop him. Returning to their present, the Guardian opened the pathway to the Forest. A moment later, Saint emerged, smashing through Descendant Vex, ending with a Minotaur that he headbutted to death in the same fashion as he had killed Solkis at Twilight Gap. | Days later, Osiris discovered a distress signal from Saint's Ghost in the Vex network and dispatched the Guardian to [[Nessus]] to open a gateway into the network and find it.

He has also shown a strong dislike of the Vex, who in his words "murdered" Mercury. Given his aversion to the Fallen, Saint-14 refused to speak with [[Mithrax]] and those of the House of Light, though he would eventually say that he would have to find the time to do so. His dislike of the Fallen would come to a head after Ikora granted Mithrax and the House of Light sanctuary within the Last City in an effort to gain their aid in combating the Endless Night. At first outraged with the Fallen being welcomed into the Last City and often verbally sparing with Mithrax, his belief that the Eliksni of the House of Light were no different to the Fallen he battled in the past would change after seeing the House's non-combatants live in terror of him, including their children. From Mithrax, Saint-14 learn that his deeds against the Fallen, which made him a legend in the Last City, also made him a monster that the Eliksni tell their children and now to live in peace, they must live with that nightmare everyday. Mithrax's tale changes his attitude towards the Eliksni, coming to an understanding with the Light Kell. Eventually, after fighting the Endless Night together, Saint-14 would accept Mithrax as a friend and ally, along with the House of Light, protecting them from Lakshmi-2's plot to expel them using the Vex. | ||
