Jalaal was among the [[Awoken]] who left [[Distributary]] under the leadership of [[Mara Sov]] to return to [[Solar System]] and aid whatever remained of humanity.

As the [[Endless Night]] was engulfing the Last City, Jalaal met with Dead Orbit's head of logistics to go over the supplies needed to ensure the survival of the flotilla's populace once they evacuated Earth. Jalaal warned his subordinate that they needed more and questioned if he understood the importance of his position. As the department head left chastised, Jalaal turned to find Lakshmi and Executor [[Hideo]] inspecting Dead Orbit's crates. Hideo commented that he had not been aware of how well-funded Dead Orbit was, but Jalaal noted it was the life's work of many people and needed to be enough to re-seed humanity elsewhere. He offered to let Hideo join them, but Lakshmi interrupted and noted they were fine in the City, which was why they had come to see him.<ref name="Conspirators"/> | As the [[Endless Night]] was engulfing the Last City, Jalaal met with Dead Orbit's head of logistics to go over the supplies needed to ensure the survival of the flotilla's populace once they evacuated Earth.

Jalaal led his fellow Consensus members outside of the hanger and listened as they expressed their dissatisfaction with the Vanguard's handling of recent events, including the accords with [[Empress Caiatl]] and allowing the [[Eliksni]] [[House of Light]] to settle in the Last City to help deal with the Endless Night. The Arach noted he had heard her broadcasts and was unaware of how severe her feelings were regarding the Fallen before noting that the Cult was losing many members due to her increasingly radical rhetoric. The Exo dismissed any who left as free to do so and that they would be stronger without them, with a pointed glance at Dead Orbit's ships. Hideo cut in to suggest that Zavala and Ikora had not been effective since the death of the Speaker, with Lakshmi adding that new leadership was needed.

Hideo cut in to suggest that Zavala and Ikora had not been effective since the death of the Speaker, with Lakshmi adding that new leadership was needed. Jalaal inquired about who they had in mind, with Hideo suggesting that Lord [[Saladin Forge]] was their first choice but too close to Zavala, while Lakshmi opined that [[Saint-14]] was a better choice. He carefully questioned if they had additional support for a coup, and Lakshmi reassured him they had someone else high-ranking in place to help ensure a transfer of power. Jalaal warned them they had better be clever going forward as Ikora would not take a failed attempt to oust the current Vanguard lightly, but also began pondering what a change in leadership of the City would mean for Dead Orbit and his own personal power while he remained in the City.<ref name="Conspirators"/> | ||
Although the Endless Night was ended with the help of the House of Light, Jalaal's colleagues on the Consensus still committed to an attempt to remove them from the Last City while also overthrowing the Vanguard. The attempt failed horrifically, with Lakshmi attempting to use [[Vex]] technology to open a portal that would send the Eliksni to deep space but instead sparked a Vex invasion of the [[Botza District]] that left many Eliksni and citizens of the Last City dead, including Lakshmi. Knowing that the Vanguard might retaliate for not warning them of the attempted coup, Jalaal left the Last City with Dead Orbit's fleet, with Hideo and his remaining [[New Monarchy]] followers joining them to escape Ikora's wrath.<ref>'''Bungie (2021/5/11)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Splicer]] - [[Quests (Destiny 2)|Quest]]: [[As Prophesied]] - [https://www.ishtar-collective.net/interactions/ikora-rey-as-prophesied Speak with Ikora Rey]''</ref> | Although the Endless Night was ended with the help of the House of Light, Jalaal's colleagues on the Consensus still committed to an attempt to remove them from the Last City while also overthrowing the Vanguard.

Jalaal is fatalistic, and has a dismissive opinion towards the other factions of the City. He believes that the denizens of [[Earth]] must leave the world for a new ones, and that the [[Darkness]] cannot be stood against. Jalaal wished to see humanity scattered amongst the galaxy so that no threat could pose a risk to all of the species at once.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]], Activision Blizzard - [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Allies/Tower_Allies#Dead_Orbit_Faction_Rep|Dead Orbit Faction Rep]]''</ref> Despite his commitment to leaving Earth and the Last City behind, Jalaal often felt the lure of seeking more power within the City both for Dead Orbit's benefit and for his own gain. This led him to consider joining forces with his rivals Lakshmi and Hideo to overthrow the Vanguard, although he was more unsure and cautious then them regarding their chances of success.<ref name="Conspirators"/> | Jalaal is fatalistic, and has a dismissive opinion towards the other factions of the City.
