Orin

"I need to know what you found out there."

- Orin

Orin the Lost is a female Awoken who went searching for The Nine sometime after the Red War.

History
At some point before the Red War, Orin was in a relationship with another Awoken named Namqi, who perished in an Aphelion attack.

Orin sought out nine Ghosts who had gone beyond the Solar System and inquired after their findings. Receiving only a set of coordinates she left them. She also found several "deep-orbit minds" in the midst of her search, although these may be the same Ghosts.

She soon encountered some of the Nine herself. After warning her of the possibility of going mad from the conversation  and of a potential price as a consequence, they tasked her with finding three "worthy keys". They then commended her for seeking them out, for her resourcefulness in acquiring a ship and her decision to avoid "a golden snake who poses as a god".

It is possible that Orin became the Emissary of the Nine, due to her addressing Namqi at the end of a conversation with the Nine.

Conjecture
Orin may be an agent of Mara Sov. If this is for certain, then a possibility for this meeting would be a ratification of the Reef/Nine alliance established back before the events of the Destiny House of Wolves expansion. Another would be that Mara knows the Nine are trying to manipulate her and is seeking to ameliorate potential fallout.
