 As the Guardian proceeded to liberate Spider's Ketch from the hands of House Salvation, Spider elaborated on a conversation he heard between two Dreg's outside his pod. Spider relayed that someone had rallied House Salvation, and they were currently on the search for a specific artifact of the Dark Ages. Drifter assumed that such artifact recovery was beneath House Salvation, and that someone "higher up" had to be giving them orders. After the Guardian defeated the leader of the Fallen pack, it becomes clear that the being rallying House Salvation is its original leader, [[Eramis]], who is now missing from her Stasis prison. Upon learning this, Drifter declares its time to chase after whatever artifacts and treasures Eramis may be after, as she is too dangerous to leave to her own devices. Spider then spits that the Guardian must prevent Drifter from piloting the Ketch, as he knows he'll treat it like "one of his own", which is badly.
-Finally, the Spider reached the safety of the Last City, setting a new holdout within the Eliksni Quarter, taking residence within a make-shift bar. As he organized, the Drifter spoke with the Guardian, Mithrax and his daughter Eido about the return of the Shipstealer, who was not only looking for relics of the Dark Ages but was rally the Old Crews of Fallen pirates under her banner. Though Mithrax wished to rally the Vanguard to deal with Eramis, Drifter clarified that both Zavala and Ikora were too busy in either awaiting Calus's, now a Herald of the Witness, or looking for Eramis from the shadows. Thus, the Drifter states they have to deal with the pirates on their own and like pirates, which Mithrax was reluctant to do but relented.
+Finally, the Spider reached the safety of the Last City, setting up a new hideout within the Eliksni Quarter, taking residence within a make-shift bar.

Though Mithrax wished to rally the Vanguard to deal with Eramis, Drifter clarified that Zavala was busy preparing for the next move of Calus, and Ikora already had her Hidden searching for Eramis from the shadows. Drifter then states that leaves "us", opening up the question of going after the pirates as their own crew, which Mithrax was reluctant to do but relented when all were in agreement on charting that course.
-The Spider agreed to the plan to deal with Eramis, lending the Guardian both a [[Captain's Atlas]] and a [[Star Chart]] from his personal collection to help the Guardians in hunting down the Pirate Lords and claiming their plunder. Before that, Spider was approached by Mithrax's daughter, much to his annoyance but was nonetheless polite, who welcomed him to the Eliksni Quarter. After Eido takes her leave, Spider scoffs at Eido's idealism for the eliksni before finally speaking with the Guardian, revealing that it was Mithrax who allowed him safety along with his House of Light, despite the distrusting history between them.

-Using the Star Chart, the Guardian tracked their first target to an asteroid in the [[Themis Cluster]], which Spider states is a place of many "un-savories" but where the cabal defector [[Val'uag, the Brute]] has set up her hold. As the Guardian fought through the pirates and slaying Val'uag herself, claiming her treasure and a unique relic. Though wishing to have the relic become part of his collection, he is aware that the Guardian wants to hand the relic over to Mithrax and his daughter for study, to which he reluctantly allows.

 Despite this, the Spider is willing to alter a deal to make sure that those who owe him a debt don't pay back too quickly and too easily, as he does not want to get the short end of the stick. This was apparent when the Guardians cleared out the Hive infestation within the Tangled Shore. After slaying the Brood Queen, The Spider found that the threat was too "easy" for it to satisfy their debt to him. Despite Ghost's objections, the Spider points out that the mission wasn't a deal, only "considerations". Likely he finds the Guardians too useful and skilled to simply say that all debts are paid.<ref name="Broodhold"/>
-Though the Spider can be very ruthless on how he runs his criminal enterprise, the mob boss has shown a capacity for generosity and a reasonable nature. Instead of just hoarding all the profits and leave next to nothing for his employees, he ensure his workforce is paid what they earned, far more generous than a contemporary Fallen Kell, Archon or Baron.<ref name="ED"/>

 The Spider displays a fascination with various aspects of humanity and its culture. He has no interest in what [[Fallen]] would normally consider priceless,<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Scatterhorn_Armor#Scatterhorn_Grasps_/_Gauntlets_/_Wraps|Scatterhorn Grasps / Gauntlets / Wraps]]''</ref> and instead avidly collects ancient human artwork, as well as dead [[Ghost]]s.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Scatterhorn_Armor#Scatterhorn_Cloak_/_Mark_/_Bond|Scatterhorn Cloak / Mark / Bond]]''</ref><ref>''Game Informer #104: At the Crossroads''</ref> In addition to this, the Spider does enjoy collecting trophies, out of interest or monetary purposes, from his dead enemies, so much so that he offers bounties on them.
