Discovery on Essence Tree of Silver Wings (Essence) Following an incursion inside a terraformed Pyramid once inhabited by the Witness, a team of Guardians discovered that the terraforming beam of Light the Traveler used against the Witness had grown a Tree of Silver Wings deep within the ship. Its roots started to grow all over the Pyramid, changing and terraforming it. When the guardians faced Nezarec it had grown up to form a fully shaped Tree.

The Sanctified Mind is one of the two Sol Inherent minds of the Sol Divisive who had communed with the Witness when the Black Fleet came to the Black Garden and left a Pyramid Scale to propagate the environment with Darkness; a process which involved harvesting a lake full of Vex radiolarian fluid for them to reap its paracausal power and grow. Much like the Consecrated Mind, Sol Inherent before it, the Sanctified Mind has been warped by exposure to the Darkness-aligned resonance of the Pyramids. Instead of the brass-like metal of ordinary Vex, much of its chassis resembles more closely the rough stone used in Vex architecture (and indeed becomes an inanimate stone statue when defeated), and sprouts glowing blue tentacles which shifts to an orange hue at times. Its primary photoreceptors appear to be non-functional, and instead it sports spherical masses in one shoulder and one thigh that each contain a glowing red photoreceptor.

When the Guardians entered into the Black Garden to intercept the source of a signal emanating from the Unknown Artifact, the Sol Divisive sent its legions of Vex to keep the Guardians from disrupting the Sanctified Mind. Unfortunately, the Mind would be defeated, losing its paracausal power and becoming petrified by the Guardians as they located the signal which derived from a veiled statue, similar to the one found in the Pyramid on Luna in the mission Beyond.
