If humanity was threatened with extinction, and that the Traveler attempted to leave, Rasputin would open fire with his most powerful weapons to immobilize the Traveler and thereby coerce it into a "pseudoaltruistic" defensive action. In effect, the Traveler would be forced to protect humanity if it wanted to survive. Rasputin would avoid culpability for such an attack by initiating it through a series of proxies.<ref>'''Bungie (2015-9-15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Allies#Ghost_Fragment:_Rasputin_5|Ghost Fragment: Rasputin 5]]''</ref> Even before the Collapse, Rasputin had been discreetly stockpiling such weapons in the Cosmodrome, though some human operators suspected Rasputin's involvement.<ref name= "GFOldRussia3">'''Bungie (2016-10-08)''', ''[[Destiny]], Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Places/Earth#Ghost Fragment: Old Russia 3|Ghost Fragment: Old Russia 3]]''</ref> | ||

Rasputin was unintentionally reactivated during the [[Dark Age]] by the [[Iron Lords]], who had breached [[Site 6]] in search of [[SIVA]], a powerful nanotechnology capable for disassembling matter and reconstituting it into almost any desired form. The Iron Lords had discovered SIVA's existence and hoped to use it to rebuild human civilization. Unfortunately, despite Lord [[Felwinter]]'s attempts to reason with him, Rasputin immediately classified the Iron Lords as a threat to its security and activated all of its defensive measures, including SIVA. Using an army of SIVA-modified constructs, among them militarized [[frame]]s, Rasputin attempted to repel the Iron Lords from Site 6 by force.<ref>'''Bungie (2016-9-20)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[Rise of Iron]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Allies/Rasputin#Ghost_Fragment:_Rasputin_6|Ghost Fragment: Rasputin 6]]''</ref> Realizing that they had been arrogant and SIVA posed a significant threat to the world, the Iron Lords fought back. Hundreds perished in the battle for the [[Plaguelands]], with eight managing to seal SIVA within its replication chamber and partially damage it.<ref>'''Bungie (2016-9-20)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[Rise of Iron]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[King of the Mountain]]''</ref> Only [[Saladin Forge]] and [[Efrideet]] survived.
