After the defeat of Savathun, it was discovered that her Lightbearing Hive had spread to other worlds, such as the EDZ, Cosmodrome, and the Moon, and slaughtering Guardians to harvest their Light. In order to discover what was going on, Empress Caiatl and the Vanguard formed a group called the Coalition, dedicated to working together against the Darkness and any other threats. The Empress, in order to help the Guardian find out what the Lucent Hive were planning and doing, gifted them the [[Synaptic Spear]], a weapon capable of severing the Lucent Hive’s connection to the Light, allowing them to be captured alive and taken into the HELM, and allowing Caiatls most trusted Psion to plug into their minds via a machine and uncover what their plans were. Crow was against the idea of this, as he believed that we were stooping down to our enemies levels and wanted to find another way. Despite his objections, he continued to help the Guardian by doing recon.
 
After capturing a Lightbearing Knight and Wizard and delving into their minds, its discovered that the Lucent Hive are attempting a ritual in the Scarlet Keep using the stolen Light to manifest Savathuns Throne World and launch a massive attack. The Guardian is sent to stop this ritual and manages to succeed before the Throne World is manifested. Unfortunately Crow, who was originally supposed to be recon on the Guardians mission, had instead snuck into the HELM in order to shut down the machine now that the Lucent Hives plan had been stopped. As he unplugged the Psion from the machine, disaster struck, and the machine, instead of shutting down, began to reverse itself, sending a massive amount of energy into the Psion and causing his retina to burst, killing him after an agonizing amount of pain.
 
When Caiatl found out, she demanded that the blood debt of her Psion be settled, but Commander Zavala was prepared to shatter their alliance in order to protect Crow. Just as the situation was going to reach peak tension, Saladin steps in, and offers his life in place of Crows. Caiatl respects this and instead of killing either of them, inducts Saladin into her War Council, settling the blood debt. Saladin leaves Crow a message about learning to deal with the guilt of his past, and leaves him his Iron Axe.
 
Meanwhile, onboard Caiatls ship, Saladin is challenged by a Bracus who believes that Saladin isn’t worthy of his position, and challenges him to a Rite of Proving. Saladin reluctantly agrees, and as the two begin to choose their weapons, he notices his Iron Battle Axe, and glares at Caiatl for taking it without permission. The Rite begins, and the two fight ferociously. After a long and grueling fight, Saladin wins, and per the rules of the Rite of Proving, is promoted to Bracus, earning him the respect of the other Cabal. Once he begins to train the Cabals soldiers, he decides to call his Cabal men his “Iron War Beasts.”, and is even allowed to come to the tower to continue to host the Iron Banner, as it intrigues Caiatl.
