Osiris was resurrected by the Ghost [[Sagira]] at some point before the founding of the Last City.

During the earliest days of the [[Last City]], Osiris studied under the [[Warlock]] [[Iron Lords]] [[Felwinter]] and [[Nirwen]] and eventually became as legendary as them, although he never joined their order. After the death of his mentors and all of the other Iron Lords aside from Lord [[Saladin Forge]] and Lady [[Efrideet]], the Last City was thrown into turmoil. A man known as the [[Speaker]] rose to power and established the [[Consensus]] and [[Vanguard]], with [[Tallulah Fairwind]] being appointed [[Hunter]] Vanguard and Osiris' friend [[Saint-14]] becoming [[Titan (class)|Titan]] Vanguard.<ref>'''Bungie (2017/12/5)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Curse of Osiris]] | During the earliest days of the [[Last City]], Osiris studied under the [[Warlock]] [[Iron Lords]] [[Felwinter]] and [[Nirwen]] and eventually became as legendary as them, although he never joined their order.

In the aftermath of the [[Fallen]] attack on the Last City known as the [[Six Fronts|Battle of Six Fronts]], Osiris met with Saint-14 on a Tower platform that overlooked one of the roads into the city, which was still aflame and strewn with debris from the recent battle. Osiris commented upon his friend's new title of Vanguard Commander and called it ludicrous, but the Titan retorted that the Consensus had wanted new leadership in the aftermath of the near-destruction of the Last City. As he manipulated a [[Vex]] device, Osiris reassured his friend that he was sure he would serve the City well, but was astonished when Saint-14 declared he would be giving up the position for a special mission given to him by the Speaker to be a soldier, not a Titan. Noting his wording, Osiris worried over what the Speaker had requested of him, and declared the Speaker was leading him astray after Saint-14 revealed he had been ordered to take the fight to the Fallen across the system and hunt them down. | In the aftermath of the [[Fallen]] attack on the Last City known as the [[Six Fronts|Battle of Six Fronts]], Osiris met with Saint-14 on a Tower platform that overlooked one of the roads into the city, which was still aflame and strewn with debris from the recent battle.

Osiris attempted to argue that the Fallen were not so different from humanity and had lost much in their past, including the [[Traveler]]. Saint-14 refused to listen, declaring that he did not believe the "story" of the Fallen's past, and that the Fallen were all the same and had done too much to humanity. Osiris countered that the Vex and the [[Darkness]] were the true enemies, and that the Fallen were nothing compared to them, angering the Titan, who told him to just look past the wall at the destruction caused by the Fallen. Osiris stated he simply saw the whole picture and ignored the allegation that he had lost sight of why the Guardians fought. He questioned who Saint-14 was going to recommended to be his replacement, and was stunned once more when the ex-commander chose him. Caught off-guard, Osiris questioned if Saint-14 really wanted Osiris to have control over all of the Last City's resources. His friend informed him that despite their disagreements, he believed Osiris was one of the few who could protect the Last City and that should the Fallen ever come in force again he would need to defend the Last City in Saint-14's stead, a condition which Osiris readily accepted.<ref>'''Bungie (2019/12/ | Osiris attempted to argue that the Fallen were not so different from humanity and had lost much in their past, including the [[Traveler]].

Osiris' obsessive desire for truth about the purpose of Guardians and the nature of the [[Darkness]] drove him to madness.

He also came to regard the Traveler as the bringer of their troubles. | ||
As Osiris further immersed himself in his research and neglected his duties as Vanguard Commander, his growing "followers" began to spread his messages and teachings like religious works. Though Osiris resented this behavior, he did nothing to stop it and this furthered the schism between him and his former teacher, the Speaker. Though the Speaker banned his research tomes from the City, Osiris' followers continued to grow and spread his "messages", some even camping out at his old home. | As Osiris further immersed himself in his research and neglected his duties as Vanguard Commander, his growing "followers" began to spread his messages and teachings like religious works.

Shortly before his exile, Osiris' student [[Ikora Rey]] and his old friend [[Saint-14]] made numerous attempts to bring him back to the Vanguard. Osiris refused, growing more obsessed with his research on the Vex. Even though Ikora was finally able to get Osiris to join the Vanguard again, he ended up getting into vicious arguments with the Speaker over the Traveler, how the City was being led, the threat of the Vex and the purpose of the Guardians. Their arguments soon began to spread amongst the Guardians, leading to fights breaking out between those who saw Osiris as a savior and others who saw him as a heretic. Finally fed up with Osiris and his hubris, the Speaker gathered the factions, Guardians and citizens of the City during a Consensus meeting, declared that Osiris was a "cancer" and decreed that he be exiled immediately. Despite Ikora's defense of her teacher, Osiris himself entered the meeting and declared he would willingly leave the City, but left Ikora with one last lesson and the burden of rebuilding the Warlock Vanguard. | Shortly before his exile, Osiris' student [[Ikora Rey]] and his old friend [[Saint-14]] made numerous attempts to bring him back to the Vanguard.

Osiris himself seemingly disappeared after his exile, with his whereabouts being unknown to the Vanguard for many years following; he would later be revealed to have entered the [[Infinite Forest]], a massive Vex simulation engine on Mercury.

During the events of the [[Red War]], Osiris made contact with [[Failsafe]] during [[The Guardian|the Young Wolf]] and their [[The Ghost|Ghost]]'s attempt to steal data from the Vex network through nodes on [[Nessus]]. Greeting the [[Golden Age]] AI, he asked her to pass along his regards to the Guardian, whose Ghost decided that they needed to inform Ikora of Osiris' presence.<ref>'''Bungie (2017/8/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]] - [[Deep Conversation]]''</ref> | |||

Shortly after the defeat of Panoptes, Osiris was separated from Sagira within the Infinite Forest when he returned to the dark future of the ruined Lighthouse. Meditating within the simulation as Vex wandered below the tower, Osiris was eventually rejoined by Sagira, who exclaimed that she thought they had averted this future. Continuing his meditation, Osiris answered that many equations led to this point in the timeline as a loud noise began approaching the Lighthouse, causing it to shake. Sagira questioned what they should do now, and Osiris responded that they would start their efforts anew as a massive shadow of darkness passed over them and began to assault the ruins. Confronting this new threat, Osiris told Sagira that the first step would be resurrecting him once more.<ref>'''Bungie (2017/12/5)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Curse of Osiris]] | Shortly after the defeat of Panoptes, Osiris was separated from Sagira within the Infinite Forest when he returned to the dark future of the ruined Lighthouse.

During further investigations into the Vex, Osiris and Sagira discover various Simulations on the Fallen and Cabal that would provide valuable information for the Vex to defeat them and gain complete control of the Infinite Forest. Osiris sends the Guardian to prevent these simulations from being completed and destroy the data they desired. However, during a foolish experiment, Osiris creates a simulation of [[Dendron, Root Mind]] as he believed he could control it but it begins to fill in for Panoptes within the Infinite Forest. Calling on the Guardians once again for aid, they travel to the [[Simulant Past]] and succeed in destroying Dendron for good. | During further investigations into the Vex, Osiris and Sagira discover various Simulations on the Fallen and Cabal that would provide valuable information for the Vex to defeat them and gain complete control of the Infinite Forest.

After solving several mysteries and eliminating several threats within the Infinite Forest, Osiris and the Young Wolf detected an old Vanguard signal being broadcast from within the Forest. Their investigation led to traces of Light that matched that of [[Saint-14]], who had gone missing looking for Osiris in the aftermath of the [[Battle of the Twilight Gap]]. Osiris lamented his role in his old friend's disappearance, and brushed off Sagira's attempt to console him.

With Vance's help, a location within the Infinite Forest was found with Saint-14's Light. As they searched, Osiris noted that when his old friend had entered the Infinite Forest he would not have known how easy it was to get lost and cast adrift in the shifting realities of the Vex construct, particularly when fighting the machines. In the [[Simulant Future]] the Young Wolf defeated [[Hagios, Reverent Mind]], which had been guarding a conflux that opened a gate, beyond which Saint-14's Light was coming from. Within, the Guardians discovered a tomb filled with thousands of defeated Vex and Saint-14 laid to rest, with the last of his Light having been drained long ago. Osiris grieved for his old friend, and they decided to leave his body within the Forest, as the Vex had seemed to honor the Guardian, although the Young Wolf recovered the legendary Titan's [[Shotgun|shotgun]], the [[Perfect Paradox]], from which remnants of Saint-14's Light had been emanating.<ref>'''Bungie (2017/12/5)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Curse of Osiris]] - [[Not Even the Darkness]]''</ref> | |||

Sometime between Panoptes' defeat and the death of [[Cayde-6]], Osiris dedicated himself to a dangerous undertaking: saving his friend, [[Saint-14]]. Using some theoretical ideas from Sagira and help from the [[Drifter]], he built [[The Sundial]] to travel to the past and stop Saint from dying at the hands of the Mind that killed him. Sagira and Drifter both had reservations: the former over the unknowns of using the machine and the latter over the thing Osiris made a deal with to power the machine. Accepting the risks, he activates the Dial and sends Echoes of himself through the [[Corridors of Time]]. The Echoes traverse the course of Mercury's timeline for years, never reaching the right point in time no matter how hard they try. The real Osiris perceives all of his duplicates' lives until they are all driven mad or slain by the Corridor's Vex defenses. With only an instant passing for him, the exile gives up on the project; he has the dial deactivated and hidden so no one can use it again.<ref name="The Sundial">'''Bungie ( | Sometime between Panoptes' defeat and the death of [[Cayde-6]], Osiris dedicated himself to a dangerous undertaking: saving his friend, [[Saint-14]].

After the Cabal threat to the Sundial was defeated, Osiris confronted [[Rasputin]] about what he had seen in the Infinite Forest, calling into question Rasputin's allegiance in the upcoming battle between Light and Darkness. Rasputin responded by directing Osiris to an anomalous signal on the edge of the Solar System. Osiris left without another word, taking his personal jumpship out to the [[Kuiper-Oort Expanse]] and crossing the Heliopause to find the anomaly. There, he discovered a vast "maw" of [[Darkness]], which began interfering with Sagira while beckoning Osiris to approach. Donning an EVA suit, Osiris left Sagira behind in his ship to investigate the anomaly more closely, and discovered a [[Seed of Silver Wings|metallic seed]] within its depths. Immediately afterward, he found himself aboard his ship once more, with Sagira behaving as though Osiris had changed his mind about leaving. Still holding the seed in his hand, Osiris set a course back to the inner Solar System, with an [[Pyramid|angular shadow]] looming over his vessel as he departed.<ref>'''Bungie (2020/3/10)''', ''[[ | After the Cabal threat to the Sundial was defeated, Osiris confronted [[Rasputin]] about what he had seen in the Infinite Forest, calling into question Rasputin's allegiance in the upcoming battle between Light and Darkness.

Donning an EVA suit, Osiris left Sagira behind in his ship to investigate the anomaly more closely, and discovered a [[Seed of Silver Wings|metallic seed]] within its depths. Immediately afterward, he found himself aboard his ship once more, with Sagira behaving as though Osiris had changed his mind about leaving. Still holding the seed in his hand, Osiris set a course back to the inner Solar System, with an [[Pyramid|angular shadow]] looming over his vessel as he departed.<ref>'''Bungie (2020/3/10)''', ''[[Weblore:Season of the Worthy]] - [[Weblore:Season of the Worthy#What Gives Me Pause|What Gives Me Pause]]''</ref> | ||

There, the Warlock stumbled upon a communion between [[Voshyr]], [[Kinox]], and an emissary of Xivu Arath known as the [[High Celebrant of Xivu Arath|High Celebrant]]. Osiris interrupted the Communion, first incinerating fifteen noble-brood, including Voshyr and her kin [[Yishra]] and [[Ayriax]], with his [[Dawnblade]]. He then used a [[Nova Bomb]] to annihilate [[Ulg'Urin]] alongside his Knight guard, but failed to killed Kinox, who fled the chamber. | There, the Warlock stumbled upon a communion between [[Voshyr]], [[Kinox]], and an emissary of Xivu Arath known as the [[High Celebrant of Xivu Arath|High Celebrant]].

However, Osiris stood no chance against the Celebrant himself. Amused with this show of violence, the High Celebrant attempted to transform Osiris into a [[Wrathborn]] by carving runes into either side of the latter's face and leaving him as a sacrifice to Xivu. In that moment, Sagira sacrificed herself, saving Osiris, but leaving him Ghostless. At this vulnerable moment, Savathûn appeared and possessed Osiris' body.<ref>'''Bungie (2021/8/24)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Lost]] - [[ | However, Osiris stood no chance against the Celebrant himself.

Osiris was trapped within his body by Savathûn and was only able to achieve brief moments of consciousness where he could see what was happening. Feeling as though he was bound he attempted to reach out to Sagira before he remembered what had happened to her. He soon saw a man he recognized as [[Uldren Sov]], who was reborn as Crow, help Savathûn to "his" feet and was horrified as she used his voice to speak. Osiris was sure that someone would soon see through the deception and cast her out of his body. After some time, he surfaced once more and witnessed Savathûn speaking to Zavala and offering him advice. Desperate he attempted to cry out and warn the Vanguard Commander to no avail. He resurfaced once more while Savathûn was walking with Ikora. Osiris desperately hoped that his student would realize the truth and grew frustrated, believing that he had taught her better than this. He later witnessed Savathûn use her true voice to beguile and influence the actions of [[Lakshmi-2]] during the [[Endless Night]]. Osiris later managed to hear Saint-14's voice and fought to resurface and desperately attempted to warn his partner of Savathûn's deception, but was still unable to scream as he wished. He tried to weep at his situation but was unable to, and could only feel heat, hate, sickness, and shame. As Savathûn used his voice to tell Saint to trust "him", Osiris drowned once more into unconsciousness.<ref>'''Bungie (2021/8/24)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Lost]] - [[ | Osiris was trapped within his body by Savathûn and was only able to achieve brief moments of consciousness where he could see what was happening.

Savathûn's trick was discovered after the Endless Night ended and she agreed to return Osiris in exchange for Queen Mara Sov's help in removing her worm. Following a ritual which did so, Mara attempted to execute the Witch Queen, but the Hive Queen utilized a contingency spell to swap places with Osiris. After the [[Techeun]]s confirmed it was truly him, Saint-14 brought Osiris's unconscious body back to the Last City to care for him as they waited for the former Warlock to recover and wake up from his ordeal.<ref>'''Bungie (2021/8/24)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Lost]] - [[Missions|Mission]]: [[Exorcism]]''</ref> | Savathûn's trick was discovered after the Endless Night ended and she agreed to return Osiris in exchange for Queen Mara Sov's help in removing her worm.

Osiris and Nimbus manage to decrypt the last log which reveals Chioma's breaking point, stating back on Venus, their experiments with the Vex led the machines to create simulations of the scientists, Chioma and Maya included. Chioma couldn't help but wish to go back to that point, reciting it as better times which ultimately motivates her to do actually do so, just to see Maya again. Osiris states that, much like how he himself nearly succumbed to his obsessions, Maya had with hers which led to her death. Nimbus wonders what they have actually learned from Chioma's logs which Osiris answers in confirming that the Veil is darkness, the power of consciousness and thought, just as the Traveler is the power over the physical plane. Most of all, after decrypting the Conceptual Mind's core, both come to the theory that the Traveler and the Veil may have at one time been a singular entity. Further, Osiris believes Chioma locked up the Veil and her logs for the sake of giving humanity a clean slate. | Osiris and Nimbus manage to decrypt the last log which reveals Chioma's breaking point, stating back on Venus, their experiments with the Vex led the machines to create simulations of the scientists, Chioma and Maya included.

After months of work, Osiris realized the Witness was able to communicate through Ghosts because of the parallel connections between Light and Darkness. He speculated that Ghosts may be able to be use the connection against it. | After months of work, Osiris realized the Witness was able to communicate through Ghosts because of the parallel connections between Light and Darkness.

Osiris's studies with the Veil would ultimately bare fruit after the Coalition was forced into making a bargain with the last Ahamkara, [[Riven]]. In exchange for granting one last wish, the Guardians would secure the remainder of Riven's surviving eggs. Only then, Riven would open a new pathway through the Threshold upon the Traveler, allowing the Coalition to follow the Witness. However, at a later point, Riven would clarify a certain detail regarding the wish: she would only be able to send ''one'' through the gateway. Though this angered Mara Sov, Osiris managed to restrain the Awoken Queen from lashing out against Riven using Strand, stating that regardless of this unfortunate detail, it was still their only option. Osiris would nonetheless have an epiphany regarding the nature of the gateway, the wish and the Veil, believing that getting one through the Threshold was all they need. If one can get through, then that one person can guide more through the Threshold and open the door for the rest. Crow would volunteer himself to go through the gateway after the Guardians fulfilled their part in Riven's bargain, stating that his unique paracausal connection with Mara would allow the Coalition to track his movements. As hoped, Crow managed to pierce through the Threshold, with Mara sensing her brother. | Osiris's studies with the Veil would ultimately bare fruit after the Coalition was forced into making a bargain with the last Ahamkara, [[Riven]].

The army attacked the Witness, severing its hold over the Traveler's Light and in a direct attack, struck at the Witness directly, unmaking it with a tremendous surge of Light.
