Following the Guardians fighting back against the Wrathborn Corruption and reaching an accord with the Cabal [[Empress Caiatl]], Guardians discover the Last City has fallen under an [[Endless Night]]. Knowing that the Vex are responsible, Ikora Rey sends the Guardian to Europa to find the one individual who could aid them in combating the Vex directly: Mithrax of the House of Light. Traveling to the last location Mithrax was found, they discover that Mithrax was attempting to transport refugees fleeing from the violence of the House of Salvation but were ambushed by the Vex. Racing to Mithrax, who was protecting the remaining refugees, the Guardian finally meets the last of the Sacred Splicers who ask the Guardian to help his people hide from the Vex. The Guardian agrees and enters a rift Mithrax opened that leads them directly into the [[Vex Network|Vex domain]] and with his guidance, the Guardian destroys the Subjective Mind, taking a segment of its code and bringing it back to Mithrax. Understanding they have a common enemy and are equally in danger, Ikora Rey offers Mithrax and his House of Light sanctuary within the walls of the Last City. Mithrax accepts, granting his people a safe place to dwell though he knows that not everyone, both in the people of the Last City and his own, will be open to the idea of former enemies living alongside each other.<ref>'''Bungie (2021/5/11)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Splicer]] - [[The Lost Splicer]]''</ref>

With Mithrax and the House of Light officially aligned with the Vanguard and the Last City, the Guardians work on discovering the truth to the Vex's plans and end the Eternal Night. With Mithrax guiding them, the Guardians succeed in slaying numerous Subjective and Oppressive Minds, gaining data which they return to Mithrax or to [[Lakshmi-2]] of the [[Future War Cult]]. Despite this progress, peaceful cooperation and coexistence between the Eliksni refugees and the Last City denizens, both Guardians and not, remains difficult. Saint-14 in particular remains enraged with the Fallen being granted safe haven within the Last City, having only seen the worst of the Fallen and fought against them for years. Mithrax, in turn, recalls how Saint-14 became a living nightmare to his people, a monster who killed Fallen without mercy, including the young and innocent and yet they must now look at their nightmare every day if they are to live peacefully in the Last City. Despite constant assurances from Osiris and Ikora, Saint-14 remains very distrustful towards Mithrax and the Fallen but does slowly come to an understanding with Mithrax.{{Citation needed}}

The unstable situation with the Eliksni refugees comes to a head after Lakshmi-2 sends out broadcasts denouncing the Fallen and the Vanguard's alliance with the House of Light, warning the people of the Last City of a coming invasion. As a result, the Eliksni's ether supply cache was sabotaged by frightened individuals. Not wanting to alienate Mithrax and his people, Ikora has Saint-14 investigate the sabotage and the Guardians to assure the people of their alliance and remind them that the people of the Last City were not that different from the Fallen before the City was raised. Further, she plans on having a talk with Lakshmi for her broadcasts, despite the Vanguard not wanting to interfere with City politics to begin with.{{Citation needed}}
