Rasputin left an active [[Seraphim Vault|presence]] on Earth and disconnected from the Mindlab on Mars. Having remained dormant during the [[Dark Age]], he was alerted to an asset gone rogue: "SIDDHARTHA GOLEM", an Exo originally intended to act as an avatar of Rasputin, but which had instead been resurrected by a [[Ghost]] to become a Light-bearer named [[Felwinter]]. Enraged at the loss of his "son" to the [[Light]], Rasputin sent falling [[Warsat]]s and armies of militarized [[frame]]s to terminate the now-Risen Exo, but all failed to kill Felwinter. Rasputin subsequently laid a trap promising Felwinter and the [[Iron Lords]] [[SIVA]], a powerful nanotechnology capable of disassembling matter and reconstituting it into almost any desired form.   
Although disconnected from the Mindlab on Mars, Rasputin maintained an active [[Seraphim Vault|presence]] on Earth, though he remained dormant for most of the [[Dark Age]]. He eventually reactivated and began surveying the Sol System, leading him to discover the fledgling post-Collapse colony of [[Neomuna]] hidden on [[Neptune]], to which he gave the codename "Nefele Stronghold". The Neomuni detected Rasputin's attempts to infiltrate their computer networks, leading [[Chioma Esi]] to task the [[Cloud Strider]] [[Stargazer]] with traveling to Earth to find a way to stop Rasputin from further investigating the city and discovering the [[the Veil|Veil]].<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hY8aahFgJEw</ref> Though most of the expedition team was killed after encountering the warlord [[Carnunta]], Stargazer managed to contact the submind [[Malahayati]] and asked her to wipe all mention of Neptune or the ''[[Exodus Indigo]]'' from Rasputin's archives.
 
At some point, Rasputin was alerted to an asset gone rogue: "SIDDHARTHA GOLEM", an Exo originally intended to act as an avatar of Rasputin, but which had instead been resurrected by a [[Ghost]] to become a Light-bearer named [[Felwinter]]. Enraged at the loss of his "son" to the [[Light]], Rasputin sent falling [[Warsat]]s and armies of militarized [[frame]]s to terminate the now-Risen Exo, but all failed to kill Felwinter. Rasputin subsequently laid a trap promising Felwinter and the [[Iron Lords]] [[SIVA]], a powerful nanotechnology capable of disassembling matter and reconstituting it into almost any desired form.   


Unfortunately, despite Lord [[Felwinter]]'s attempts to reason with him, Rasputin immediately activated all of his defensive measures against the Iron Lords, including SIVA. By then, Rasputin had programmed SIVA to kill not only Felwinter, but the other Iron Lords as well.<ref name=" GFR6"/> Realizing that they had been arrogant and that SIVA posed a significant threat to the planet, the Iron Lords fought back. Hundreds of the Iron Wolves perished in the battle for the [[Plaguelands]], with eight of the founding ten Iron Lords sacrificing themselves to seal SIVA within its replication chamber.<ref>'''Bungie (2016-9-20)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[Rise of Iron]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[King of the Mountain]]''</ref> Only [[Saladin Forge]] and [[Efrideet]] survived.
