 As the Spider set up shop within the Ether Tank, a makeshift bar, Mithrax met with Drifter, his daughter Eido, and the Guardian to discuss Eramis's return. Though Mithrax wanted to rally the Vanguard to deal with the Shipstealer, Drifter explains that both Zavala and Ikora are too preoccupied with either preparing for when Calus will make his next move or looking for Eramis from the shadows, thus leaving only them. Both Eido and the Guardian agree while Mithrax reluctantly complies to the plan to take on Eramis and the Old Crews like pirates. In between missions in acquiring the relics before Eramis could claim them, giving them to Eido for study, and taking out the Pirate Lords, Mithrax would provide aid to the Guardian as they collected treasures from the raiders, wishing to use the treasure to help his people, such as turning the Eliskni Quarter from a refuge into a true home. However, Mithrax would get aggravated with Spider despite their partnership in combating Eramis, as the crime boss constantly sought a "share" of each treasure they claim. Further, the Guardian notices that Mithrax may be partially aware of what Eramis may actually be looking for but the Light Kell does not share on what it may be.
+Eido would grow dissatisfied with her father's reluctance to share his past and his knowledge regarding the relics, leading the Scribe to work behind Mithrax's back to find out the truth herself. At first, Eido tried speaking with Spider but she would caught by her father, who was angered by her disobedience. Yet despite Mithrax's stern warning to leave his past be, Eido continues to find out what her father doesn't want to know. In addition, Eido comes to believe that Eramis can be reasoned with, despite the Guardians doubts and Mithrax's stating that the Shipstealer wouldn't abandon her cause. Without informing her father or even the Guardians, Eido would reach out to Eramis, requesting a parlay after it was discovered that a third party was also looking for the relics, something that Mithrax considered reckless and foolish. Despite this, the Salvation Kell would answer Eido's request to a parlay and hear her out. Mithrax would accompany his daughter to the meeting place, also requesting the Guardian to join the meeting for further protection. Though Eido remains resolute that she can reason with Eramis, her father disagrees. Eramis herself enters the meeting and while she is interested in hearing about this third party, the Shipstealer refused to back down from her crusade before ultimately revealing the true nature of the relics and of her father's connection to them when Mithrax himself refused to tell Eido. The relics are in fact pieces of the dead Disciple of the Witness, [[Nezarec]]. His body found within the [[Lunar Pyramid]] by Mithrax's mother, [[Inaaks]], when he was just a hatchling and carved into talisman pieces that granted their bearers great power but also worsened their behaviors. When Mithrax inherited a piece, he became addicted to its power, becoming feared for his brutality and greed, before finally rejecting the piece and forging his new life as Kell of the House of Light. Yet, despite turning a new leaf, Eramis claims that Mithrax will always be a liar and a killer. The truth leaves Eido speechless before Eramis takes her leave in satisfaction. Mithrax attempted to explain himself but Eido refused to hear it and left, leaving the Light Kell ashamed.
+Regardless of Eramis driving a wedge between Mithrax and his daughter, the Guardians nonetheless continued the mission in collecting the relics before the Old Crews bring them to the Shipstealer, eventually discovering that the mysterious third party was in fact, the Lucent Brood Hive. Though what they wanted with the pieces of Nezarec would remain a mysterious. On her part, Eido would be left hurt that her father hid the truth from her, feeling that he didn't want his own daughter to know him, but nonetheless remained committed to the mission yet she would also continue to make brief correspondence with Eramis, eventually getting past the aggressive and brutal surface of the Salvation Kell a bit. When it came to the point that only one relic remained, Eido secretly went ahead to claim it without violence but would discover that the Lucent Hive were close to locating it themselves. The Guardian and Mithrax would arrive at the scene and race to rescue Eido as she became cornered by the Lucent Brood but to their surprise, Eido would be protected by Eramis herself, slaying the last of the Lucent Hive as the Guardian and Mithrax enter. The two Kells would get into a heated sword duel even as Eido pleaded for them to stop. Mithrax would get the upper hand, disarming Eramis and leave her at his mercy. The Shipstealer tried to goad Mithrax into kill her but the Light Kell refused, leading Eramis to flee aboard her Ketch.
+Though Eramis escaped, the Guardians were successful in gathering all the relics, which Mithrax would take into his care and from his research, he managed to turn the pure darkness of the pieces into a special brew which he gave to Saint-14 for Osiris's recovery. The brew worked in finally waking Osiris from his coma after  his form was used by the Witch Queen. Further, with the amassed riches the Guardians gained from the Old Crews, the Eliksni Quarter was given some renovations such as improvements to the Ether Tank, new housing being added, a community garden and even a gathering spot for the eliksni to share and debate.
