{{Quote|You and me, we come from the same people. And those people are up there."<br>"Yeah? What do you know about them?"<br>"Not much. I know that we must have left them for a reason. Don't worry about them so much. You gotta figure yourself out first.|Orin and Therin discuss their origins}} | |||
When Nasar was revived by her Ghost, one of the first things she did was request that her Ghost give her a name. Accepting Orin to be her new name, she named her Ghost [[Gol]], although she was unsure of what had inspired her to name him that. Gol mentioned a nearby settlement that they could reach by foot in several days, and the threat of roving [[Fallen]] they might have to face. Trusting her Ghost, Orin fashioned a mace out of tree branches and the two moved out, although Gol warned her that the aliens had guns and her improvised weapon might not do much. Unsure of what guns were, Orin was confident that she could crush the skull of any foe with her weapon. Once they reached the settlement, they found it had been destroyed and the residents slaughtered by nuclear weaponry. Upset by the senseless slaughter, Orin asked who was responsible. Gol explained that a [[Warlord]] had likely assaulted the settlement for its livestock and with no one to oppose them, the massacre was the end result. Orin wished to know when the massacre happened and Gol calculated the likely time-frame of the raid was less than thirty-six hours ago. Upset that she had not been fast enough to help, Orin began vomiting as contracted radiation poisoning. Gol quickly herded her away from the danger zone before she died and became stuck in the irradiated ruins.<ref name="ER">'''Bungie (2019/3/5)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Joker's Wild]], Activision Blizzard - [[Lore]]: [[Lore:Ecdysis#Risen|Ecdysis - Risen]]''</ref> | When Nasar was revived by her Ghost, one of the first things she did was request that her Ghost give her a name.

The Pilgrim Guard eventually offered her a place with them, and she accepted, being gifted a new war hammer. One day, Orin encountered another Awoken and began questioning her about where they came from, as all other Awoken she had seen were dead or hurriedly departed on jumpships. The young woman knew nothing of their origins, having been revived in the Sinaloan ruins, but one of Orin's friends overheard and told her that her people lived in the [[The Reef|asteroid belt]], but no one could tell her why they were not on Earth. As the decades passed, Orin worked with the Guard, fighting Warlords, defending against Fallen, and protecting civilians. Eventually, the same restlessness that overtook Orin in her days as a reborn Awoken came again. Despite loving her role and her community, she confided in Gol that she was itching for something else, despite not knowing what or why, and felt monstrous for it.<ref name="EWH"/> | The Pilgrim Guard eventually offered her a place with them, and she accepted, being gifted a new war hammer.

At some point during her adventures with the Pilgrim Guard, Orin got a tattoo of a coiled snake around her arm. She met another Risen named [[The Drifter (character)|Eli]] who became interested in her. During their second meeting Eli asked if she would like to dance, but she declined. However, he asked what she thought he said and when Orin repeated the question, he approached her and stated he would love to. Orin chuckled at this and did not move away, catching Eli off-guard as he noted that had never worked before. The two swiftly became friends and Eli joined her in the Pilgrim Guard and saved each others lives numerous times over the years.<ref>'''Bungie (2019/3/5)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Joker's Wild]], Activision Blizzard - [[Reaper_Armor#Reaper_Mark|Reaper Mark]]</ref> | |||
Orin and several other members of the Guard eventually encountered another Awoken Risen in the desert. They welcomed him into their camp and as her comrades went to sleep that night she questioned him while cleaning blood off her war hammer on how long since he had been rezzed by his Ghost. The Ghost said it had been six days and Orin then asked how long he had been dead. The Ghost speculated it was about a month and Orin correctly guessed that he had been in the wreckage of a crashed ship, noting that she had never seen clothes like his before. She explains to him that they are Awoken and come from the Reef, but no one knows much about them. She reassures him that he just needs to figure himself out and asks if he has a name. He confidently states that he is [[Therin Vai]], causing her to smile. He then questioned her on if he could stay with the Pilgrim Guard, causing Orin to quickly take in his [[Hunter|cloak, knives, and lean build]] and think to herself that he was not like them, but she warmly told him that he could stay as long as he wished.<ref>'''Bungie (2019/3/5)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Joker's Wild]], Activision Blizzard - [[Neoteric_Kiyot_Armor#Neoteric_Kiyot_Cloak|Neoteric Kiyot Cloak]]</ref> | Orin and several other members of the Guard eventually encountered another Awoken Risen in the desert.

====Search for Answers==== | |||
During her search for answers, Orin met [[Namqi Sen]], an [[The Reef|Reef native]] pilot stranded on Earth after his ship was downed by a Fallen [[Skiff]]. Orin questioned him about the Reef and the Awoken there as he struggled to repair his ship. Eventually, Orin went with Namqi for drinks and continued her questioning, where she began to find Namqi's looks and listening ability attractive. After eight weeks, Namqi finally repaired his ship. Still unsatisfied with the knowledge she had gained, Orin convinced her new friend to smuggle her and Gol into the Reef. He obliged, but they were caught and imprisoned partway into the asteroid belt.<ref name="EQ">'''Bungie (2019/3/5)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Joker's Wild]], Activision Blizzard - [[Lore]]: [[Lore:Ecdysis#Queenslaw|Ecdysis - Queenslaw]]''</ref> | During her search for answers, Orin met [[Namqi Sen]], an [[The Reef|Reef native]] pilot stranded on Earth after his ship was downed by a Fallen [[Skiff]].

Orin was visited in her cell by Sjur, who was slightly disheartened to see her old friend as a Guardian. After a brief detainment, [[Mara Sov|Queen Mara]] had Orin brought before her without Gol or Namqi. Despite remembering nothing of her past, Orin immediately recognized her. Mara explained to her why she was banished from the Reef. Orin was brought before her former Queen several times over the course of her imprisonment, where Mara spoke to her about things more terrifying than anything she learned since she was first revived. Eventually, Mara decided that since Orin no longer had memories of being Nasar, she could not be held accountable for violating an oath made in her past life. Instead, she was punished for sneaking into the Reef and was allowed to go free in exchange for a favor that Mara would call upon later. After being released, Orin returned to Earth to contemplate everything she learned.<ref name="EQ"/> | Orin was visited in her cell by Sjur, who was slightly disheartened to see her old friend as a Guardian.

====In the Queen's Service==== | |||
Over time, Orin watched the Pilgrim Guard become famous, and lived to see the Risen take up the title the people bestowed on them: [[Guardians]]. Despite being happy for her friends and their success, Orin opted to leave the Pilgrim Guard permanently. Orin was kept busy by Namqi, who called her everyday while serving out his sentence in the Reef. Once his time was served, Orin convinced Namqi to come to Earth and take her across the system in search of answers to humanity's past. The two of them traversed the inner solar system, working odd jobs to keep Namqi's ship running. The two eventually began a romantic relationship, spending centuries exploring together.<ref name="ED">'''Bungie (2019/3/5)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Joker's Wild]], Activision Blizzard - [[Lore]]: [[Lore:Ecdysis#Debt|Ecdysis - Debt]]''</ref> | Over time, Orin watched the Pilgrim Guard become famous, and lived to see the Risen take up the title the people bestowed on them: [[Guardians]].
