Several decades after the establishment of the Last City, Osiris and the Speaker sent Saint-14 to hunt down and kill the [[Fallen]] mercenary [[Taniks, the Scarred]] after he murdered the Hunter [[Nian Ruo]] and several other Guardians. While Saint-14 failed to find Taniks, the mercenary was found by [[Cayde-6]], a comrade of Nian's seeking revenge, and was believed to have ended the life of the notorious Fallen, although Taniks secretly survived. Osris attended a party thrown in celebration of Taniks' supposed demise and to welcome [[Andal Brask]] to the rank of Hunter Vanguard, which he had to accept due to losing a bet with Cayde about who would kill Taniks.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken (expansion)|Forsaken]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Lore]]: [[Lore:The_Light/The_Man_They_Call_Cayde#Winner_Take_All|Winner Take All]]''</ref>

===Road to Exile===
Before his exile, his student Ikora Rey and his old friend Saint-14 made numerous attempts to bring him back to leading the Vanguard but Osiris refused, growing more obsessed with his research on the Vex. More troubling was Osiris was growing disillusioned with the Speaker and the Consensus, viewing that a single leader ruling wasn't civilization but a dictatorship and saw the Traveler as the bringer of their troubles. As Osiris further immersed himself in his research and neglected his duties as Vanguard Commander, his growing "followers" began to spread his messages and teachings like religious works. Though Osiris resented this behavior, he did nothing to stop it and this furthered the schism between him and his former teacher, the Speaker.
