When the [[Guardian]]s [[Kabr, the Legionless]], [[Pahanin]], and [[Praedyth]] ventured into the [[Vault of Glass]] on Venus, a major confluence of the Vex network, they were thwarted by the Vex defenses. Pahanin managed to escape, but Kabr perished and Praedyth was trapped and lost in time. Praedyth was forgotten until the time of the [[Taken War]], when the [[Taken]] began to blight the Vex network. After receiving a distress signal from Praedyth, a Guardian was sent to the Vault to investigate and was unexpectedly granted access by the Vex. Inside, the Guardian discovered a series of [[Dead Ghost]]s Praedyth had left behind. Praedyth revealed through recordings within the Ghosts that he had seen what the Vex had calculated would be their future: eons hence, the Vex would be completely corrupted by the Taken, becoming an eternal part of the legacy of [[Oryx, the Taken King]]. Although the Vex were able to foresee this future and were compelled to continue seeking a way to avert it, they had concluded that this grim fate was inevitable and unavoidable. Allowing the Guardian to fight the Taken blight that affected them was an act of desperation. Traveling through a portal, the Guardian was transported to the Vex's future, where the blight was defeated, the Vex were spared from their fate, and Praedyth's remains and Ghost were recovered. Despite this moment of cooperation, however, the Vex still had no intention of returning the favor and sparing [[the Last City]].

Recently, the Vex have suffered numerous setbacks across the system. A large number of Vex Axis Minds have been destroyed by Guardians, leaving the Vex network in disarray. With the arrival of the [[Taken]], attacks against the Vex have only escalated. The Taken were shown to be one of the few forces capable of effectively combating the Vex as they quickly seized control of the [[Black Garden]] and [[Vault of Glass]]. The Taken were only defeated with Guardian intervention, showing the Vex as weak and disorganized. The Vex have yet to counter these failures, though some such as Variks the Loyal believe the machines have begun preparing countermeasures as Variks notes, following [[Skolas|Skolas']] defeat, "... Old machines are waking up...".
