-One of the Nine was responsible for blinding both the Guardians and the City to the arrival of the Red Legion, allowing Ghaul to successfully attack and occupy the City. This member of the Nine did so with the goal of learning how to take the Light, but that particular member of the Nine was severely punished, as Ghaul's success led to the deployment of [[the Almighty]], which would have destroyed the Sol system along with the Nine had it not been disabled.<ref>[[Lore:Dust#The_Witch]]</ref><ref>[[Lore:Stolen_Intelligence#Ringer]]</ref>

 Whether before or after Orin/the Awoken agent visits them, the Nine speak of two significant events. The first event is with expectation and appears to be Mara Sov's plan with her Techeuns. They are confident that her fall is inevitable for the odds she plays with have been weighted by them.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/8/5)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Warmind (expansion)|Warmind]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Motion to Compel]]''</ref> The second event is tinged with overtones of regret and sadness; the Nine lament their slaughter of the remaining Ahamkara after Riven was taken by Oryx.<ref group=note>The Great Ahamkara Hunt: "''Remember the slaughter? it was no slaughter T E N T H O U S A N D D Y I N G W I S H E S''" — The Collapse: "''the dreamer survived O N L Y T O F A L L''" — The Harbingers: "''OUR CHILDREN. stolen constructs not ours''"</ref> Regardless of the specifics, one member urges the rest to "''rid'' [themselves] ''of regret''".<ref>'''Bungie (2018/8/5)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Warmind (expansion)|Warmind]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Motion to Vacate]]''</ref>
