===Operation Elbrus===

After The Guardian stops Caiatl's forces from attacking Savathun's ship, Saladin - along with Zavala and Crow - meet with the empress in the Tower to placate her ire over the battle. Zavala convinces her to aid the Vanguard in fighting back against the [[Lucent Brood]], and Saladin, originally skeptical of an alliance with the Cabal but sickened to see the Hive wield the Light, oversees a joint Vanguard-Cabal operation to capture Lucent Brood leaders for Psions to interrogate. He first sends reinforcements to Guardians in the [[European Dead Zone|EDZ]] that were ambushed by Lucent Hive, leading to a general being captured. Intel pulled from it's mind leads to the [[Cosmodrome]], where Light drained from Guardians was being stored and refined for a ritual. Another general there is captured, revealing that the Brood was planning to take over the [[Scarlet Keep]] on the Moon, using stolen Light to summon an massive invasion force. Saladin then oversees the an offensive in which Caiatl's forces fight alongside Guardians to halt the ritual and capture another general.

Throughout the operation, Saladin is tasked by Zavala with offering guidance to Crow, who is still grappling with the truth of his past self's crimes. The young Hunter is against keeping Hive prisoners, arguing repeatedly with Saladin over the ethics of their actions. Saladin however, while about as unnerved with keeping the Hive in such a state, the Iron Lord believes the Hive don't deserve their sympathy. The Iron Lord even regales Crow with one of his stories, of how he once showed mercy to foe, but it ultimately led to more victims being made. Things come to a head during the assault on the Moon when Crow, instead of showing up to help, goes to the H.E.L.M. and deactivates the machine keeping the captive Hive alive, unintentionally killing ~~the~~ the Psion operating it. When Caiatl is informed, she demands Crow's life in accordance with Cabal justice, but Zavala defends him. To preserve the growing alliance with the Cabal, Saladin offers his life to in Crow's place. Caiatl accepts the offer, but instead of killing him, Caiatl spares Forge on the condition he become a [[Bracus]] on her War Council for the rest of his days. He leaves the Tower with Caiatl, but he's allowed to keep his role running the Iron Banner as the empress is interested in the Guardian tradition, stating she has some interesting ideas.

Prior to leaving, in a message for the Young Wolf, Saladin left his Iron Battle Axe in the H.E.L.M. and something else for Crow, stating if he is half as smart as he think he is, he will find it. Saladin ultimately has one more conversation with Crow, who deeply regrets that Saladin now has to pay the price for his actions, stating it should have been himself, that he could have died for something he had believed in. Saladin however, states that Crow lacks the self-awareness to know what he believes in and that his mind is a storm of guilt, not just his own but also that of his past self. Thus, as Crow struggled with reconciling with ~~his~~ Uldren Sov's experiences with only a few years of his own, Saladin stated that it wasn't his time for a final death. Crow remorsefully states he was wrong about him and expresses how he is sorry but Saladin leaves stating that while he respects him for sticking to his convictions, let this event be a lesson: doing what one believe is right doesn't absolve them of consequences of those actions. That someone must always pay the price.
