The Spider ~~is a collector~~ of ~~precious~~ artifacts. ~~His web~~ captured a ~~Dead Orbit thief~~ stealing from the Green Dove Arcology on Titan.

{{Quote|Beautiful. Truly beautiful. And achieved without a Traveler or any of its nonsense.|The Spider, admiring ''The Starry Night''}}

He ~~made~~ the thief ~~work for~~ him to ~~retrieve~~ a ~~particular~~ item on the manifest. The ~~man~~, Howe, ~~questioned~~ Spider ~~which~~ was ~~a mistake~~. ~~When he arrived with~~ the ~~item~~, Spider killed him.

Following Uldren's death and the defeat of most of the Scorn's leadership, the Spider returned to expanding his criminal operations and running the Tangled Shore. Arrha reported to him that he had learned from [[Mithrax, Kell of Light|Mithrax]] about shipments of supplies and human artifacts from [[Titan (moon)|Titan]] were being shipped back to [[The Last City]] by Deputy-Commander [[Sloane]] in unarmed craft hidden with cloaking technology that they could catch with webs. Intrigued, the Spider ordered Arrha to go fishing for these craft, but quickly became exasperated when his subordinate was confused by the human terminology. Sighing, he told him to go catch a boat, and after Arrha left he growled about having to explain himself to his underlings.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken (expansion)|Forsaken]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Scatterhorn_Armor#Scatterhorn_Mask_.2F_Helm_.2F_Hood|Scatterhorn Mask / Helm / Hood]]''</ref> When Arrha brought him the first of the captured shipments, the Spider was disappointed by the contents, which although priceless, was mostly technology and data that he had little personal interest in. After expressing his displeasure to Arrha he requested the ship's log, in which he discovered something of interest: that Sloane believed a unknown party was stealing items from the [[Green Dove Arcology]]. Interested in who else was stealing from the Titan shipments, he ordered [[Brivi]] to take over the capture web while Arrha hunted for the identity of the thief.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken (expansion)|Forsaken]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Scatterhorn_Armor#Scatterhorn_Grasps_.2F_Gauntlets_.2F_Wraps|Scatterhorn Grasps / Gauntlets / Wraps]]''</ref>

Spider ~~put~~ the ~~item under~~ his ~~throne~~, ~~which would only~~ open ~~when an ancient Earth song is sung~~. ~~The item~~ Spider ~~wanted so much was the famous painting A Starry Night~~.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken (expansion)|Forsaken]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Scatterhorn_Armor#Scatterhorn_Cloak_/_Mark_/_Bond|Scatterhorn Cloak / Mark / Bond]]''</ref>

The Spider was soon informed that the thief was [[Ghislaine]], a [[Dead Orbit]] operative who was taking technology from Titan for the organization's own benefit. He ordered Arrha to intercept the thief and his ship and have him brought before him. In the logs of Dead Orbit vessel, the Spider discovered an ancient painting, ''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Starry_Night The Starry Night]'', was among the items Dead Orbit had stolen from the Green Dove Arcology. As Ghislaine protested her capture, the Spider attempted to strike a jovial tone and offered his friendship to the human, offering to not only speed him on the way to Titan but also offered the previously captured shipment as recompense. Feigning disinterest, all the Spider requested in return was a symbolic gift in return and pretended to randomly pick the item number which corresponded to the painting. However, Ghislaine revealed that item was not amongst her shipment and that the Spider's men must have hacked another Dead Orbit manifest off their network. Hiding his disappointment, the Spider inquired if the painting was already on Earth and upon learning that it was, he ordered his men to let Ghislaine go free unharmed.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken (expansion)|Forsaken]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Scatterhorn_Armor#Scatterhorn_Vest_.2F_Plate_.2F_Robes|Scatterhorn Vest / Plate / Robe]]''</ref>

Still hoping to acquired ''The Starry Night'' for his collection, the Spider contacted his spy within Dead Orbit, [[Howe]], and sent him a long list of weapons, ammo, and a few other items for acquisition including the painting in order to try and hide his desire for it. When Howe contacted him, the Spider noticed his nervousness, and was annoyed that the operative had picked up on the painting's inclusion. Howe questioned why the Spider would want a pre-[[Golden Age]] painting, the Spider decided to have him killed for his inquisitiveness and informed him that all he needed to know was that he was being paid to bring it and gave him forty hours to supply the shipment.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken (expansion)|Forsaken]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Scatterhorn_Armor#Scatterhorn_Strides_.2F_Greaves_.2F_Boots|Scatterhorn Strides / Greaves / Boots]]''</ref> Howe brought the shipment and was promptly murdered by the Spider, who admired the painting in front of his subordinates and opined that it had been achieved without the [[Traveler]]'s "nonsense".
