After Dredgen Yor's fall, cleansed replicas of the Thorn were created by the [[Shadows of Yor]], a group of Guardians who idolize the fallen Guardian. Their activity raised enough concern for [[Shin Malphur]], Yor's killer, to take up arms against the Shadows. A year after the Red War, a Shadow of Yor known as [[Callum Sol]] was found and killed by Shin as an example made to warn the other Dredgens. [[The Guardian|The Young Wolf]] would find the spot of the Shadow's final death, retrieving weapon parts from his remains for [[The Drifter (character)|The Drifter]] to utilize to create a new replica of Thorn known as [[Malfeasance]].

[[The Guardian|The Young Wolf]] would find the spot of the Shadow's final death, retrieving weapon parts from his remains for [[The Drifter (character)|The Drifter]] to craft a new replacement for Thorn known as [[Malfeasance]].


It is later revealed that Shin's killing of Callum Sol was in fact a trap to bait Guardians that could not resist their temptations of the Darkness, and that Shin Malphur is actually a member of the Shadows of Yor himself. Having taken upon himself to a whole generation of Guardians from following in Yor's footsteps, Shin (under the identity of Zyre Orsa) founded the Shadows along with [[Teben Grey]], [[Zana Maas]], [[Jonah Pavic]], [[Braga Yasuul]] and Callum Sol as a means to undercover potential Lightbearers going rogue after participating in the Drifter's [[Gambit]] and dissuade them from falling into temptation. They would also look for a Guardian capable of resisting their temptations; which they would find with [[the Young Wolf]] after they killed [[Enkaar, the Anointed]], an infamous [[Hive]] weapon master who crafted the original blueprint of the Weapons of Sorrow, and reforged a broken copy of Thorn without succumbing to its corruption.

During ''[[Season of Opulence]]'', Shin entrusted the Guardian with Yor's original Thorn. In their hands, the Thorn would first be cleansed to reveal the original Rose underneath, and then extensively modified and charged with Light to become [[Lumina]].

At some unknown point, a [[Warlock]] named [[Jana-14]] obsessively researching the Thorn and other parts of Yor's knowledge managed to reverse-engineer the hand cannon's Mark of the Devourer, which had accidently discharged its corruption onto fellow researcher [[Carro]] and forced him to suffer a slow and agonizing death. Jana-14 had her fellow researchers conducted a postmortem autopsy of Carro's body in secret without the [[Vanguard]]'s approval to gain more information. Collecting tissue samples from his corrupted body yielded an explosive, contagious version of the poison, applying it to a pair of Warlock gauntlets to create the [[Necrotic Grip]]. Sometime during the war against the [[House of Salvation]], the Guardian would obtain the Grips, and would discover its ability to synergize with the Thorn itself, enabling the gun's rounds to take on the traits of the Grips' poison.
