Unbeknownst to the Vanguard, Asher continued to explore the Vex network as a digital entity for unknown reasons. He would only ever reveal his presence to the material world in the event that the Nexus itself bled into reality by either sending a Harpy or creating projections of his original body, and [[Mithrax, Kell of Light|Mithrax]] implies from his transmissions through radiolaria that his ventures are extremely painful to his consciousness.

Half a year later during the [[Endless Night]], Asher began to appear in Vex predictions regarding [[Lakshmi-2]], seemingly accompanying an invasion of the City.<ref>'''Bungie (2021/5/11)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Splicer]] - [[Lore]]: [[Stochastic_Variable#Lore|Stochastic Variable]]''</ref> On the [[Override: Last City|Last City version of the Override]] activity, the aforementioned Harpy overlooks the events near an array of computers; while it does not interact to a Guardian, it emits beeps that can be translated via Morse code to read "ASSISTANT", the term that Asher had given to the Guardian frequently on his missions.

At an unknown point in time, Asher discovered an access point to the portion of the Nexus connected to [[Neomuna]]. He would later use this to monitor the Guardian as they led [[Partition|excursions]] into the network to stop the [[Shadow Legion]] from damaging its integrity, with [[Quinn Laghari]] finding cryptic messages whose signatures matched his name.

His surliness may be in part be driven by a deep-seated anxiety regarding his gradual assimilation by the Vex, and his frustration that all his efforts to halt it have failed.<ref name=GS/> Similarly, Asher possesses a great deal of guilt for what happened to his Ghost during his original mission in the Pyramidion. He attempted to cure its condition, but failed. He also considered ending his Ghost to spare it from the Vex modifications it received, though he couldn't bring himself to do it. Asher therefore considers himself a coward for that.

With his presence returning in [[Season of Defiance]], Asher has revealed an affinity for Arthurian legends. Despite being in a dire situation, possibly permanently disembodied in the Vex Network, he still relishes in his ability to interfere with Vex operations, extracting as much fun as he can by likening his and the Guardians activities to legends of the old world.
