===Combating the Lucent Brood===

Sometime after the Guardian succeeded in holding the line in the Reef, the planet Mars would mysteriously return, leading them to take part in a Hidden investigation on the planet but also handle the appearance of a disturbing new enemy: the [[Lucent Brood]], Lightbearing Hive of Savathûn, the Witch Queen. However, as the Guardian worked on boarding the Witch Queen's ship, [[The Lure]], to enter Savathûn's Throne World, they had inadvertently clashed with Caiatl's Red Legion, technically breaching the armistice with the Cabal. After leaving the throne world to report their findings and being informed of the situation with the Cabal from Ikora, Zavala managing to set up a meeting with Caiatl, the Guardian returned to the Last City to meet with the empress to prevent another conflict with the Cabal from starting. Crow would also partake in this meeting and while he snickered at the situation, earning himself a glare from Lord Saladin, the meeting nonetheless ended favorably, as Zavala was able to convince Caiatl to forgive the Guardian for what happened on Mars and agree to an alliance against the Lucent Hive.

In his role as a go-between for Caiatl`s Empire and the Vanguard, Crow worked to observe and disrupt Lucent Hive activity with both Guardian and Cabal forces. Over time, his understanding of the Cabal technology used in [[Operation Elbrus]] would cause conflict inside Crow, as he considered it cruel punishment that the Lucent Hive didn't deserve, a kind of feeling he knew all too well from his experience with Savathûn. They may be killers, which he considered thanks to the large amounts of Light-drained Guardians discovered during Psiops missions, but to put them into torpor and raze their minds for information was too far. This boyish naivete about the circumstances of war, and Crow regaining his memories of being Uldren Sov in his past life, would cause Saladin to be concerned for his involvement in operations. Zavala encouraged the Iron Lord to guide Crow, make sure he doesn't make mistakes, and make him into a Guardian worthy of the Vanguard. Saladin would meet with Crow in the [[Psisorium]] upon the [[H.E.L.M.]], and in an attempt to blunt his feelings towards the Lucent Hive, give him a lesson in how mercy towards an enemy can lead to further misery<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7HsIXlVK6iE</ref>. Throughout the weeks of Psiops strikes upon Lucent Hive activity, Crow continued to express his feelings about the path taken being wrong. This would eventually come to a head as Crow went missing during the Scarlet Keep offensive. Instead of being present during the invasion pushback, Crow went to the Psisorium and attempted to shut down the machinery holding the Lucent Hive catatonic and subject to mind-probing. In his foolishness, instead of ensuring a safe shutdown, he ended up inadvertently causing the death of the Psion working on the Lucent Hive in a botched attempt to close the system down<ref>https://www.ishtar-collective.net/entries/iv-shutdown</ref>.

In his grief at his actions, he remained in the Psisorium, on his knees despondently gazing upon what he had done. Eventually, the Guardian and Saladin arrived, questioning Crow as to what happened as they saw the Psion lay dead amongst the machinery<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NlDq8zn0b-M</ref>. Crow admits to his fault in the scene, but protests it was the right thing to do, and will face the consequences, whatever they may be. Saladin then leaves the scene, telling Crow he hopes the Vanguard can survive the actions of Crow's conscience. This weighs heavily on Crow, who then seeks support from the Guardian, asking them if they understand. He then leaves the scene. Later on, Crow faces up to Caiatl and the consequences of his action. Caiatl declares punishment in line with Cabal tradition, a life for a life. Zavala is poised to reject this demand, charging his fist with Arc light in readiness to defend the wayward Crow, until Saladin steps in and offers his own life up in exchange for Crow's. Caiatl, impressed with his bravery in the face of death, accepts. His life would be forfeit but as a [[Bracus]] on her [[War Council]] for the rest of his days to which Saladin agrees. Crow attempts to plead to Zavala to prevent this but the Vanguard Commander silences him as Saladin's choice had saved the Vanguard's alliance with the Cabal.

Saladin then gives a speech to Crow that he is proud of him for standing up for his convictions, but there must always be a reminder of consequences existing for the action of standing up. Saladin then leaves behind his Iron Lord axe and necklace, as a memento for Crow, in the hope it will continue to guide him in future. Since that incident, Crow began to work double-time in the campaign against the Lucent Brood, though he understands it will take a while for him to regain the empress's approval.
