After an encounter with an agent of [[Xivu Arath]] resulted in the death of his [[Ghost]], [[Sagira]], Osiris lost his connection to the [[Light]]. For a period of time, he was then possessed by [[Savathûn, the Witch Queen]], who used his form to walk among the people of the Last City and spy on the Vanguard. He was later released by Savathûn, but remained in a coma, which he awoke from after being given a [[Darkness]]-infused brew prepared from the remains of [[Nezarec]] by [[Mithrax, Kell of Light]]. He has since continued his work with the Vanguard, though no longer taking an active combat role due to the loss of his Ghost, and most recently accompanied the [[Guardian]] to [[Neomuna]] on a mission to stop the [[Shadow Legion]] from acquiring [[the Veil]].

Following their incursion into the Black Garden, the Guardians' campaigns against the Shadow Legion on Earth and handling the return of Titan, Osiris and Nimbus continued in their endeavors in understanding the Veil, leading them to comb through records on the Ishtar Collective. Osiris and Nimbus quickly began to focus on the recordings of the lead scientists, [[Chioma Esi]] and [[Maya Sunderesh]], some of Nemouna's founders. The records Chioma had made quickly became more and more unnerving as Chioma grew concerned with Maya's obsession with her work on the Veil, which ultimately led the colony's entire Exo population to be rendered brain dead. Though Chioma wanted to end the experiments, Maya refused stating that the Veil is their "salvation", which only led Chioma to grow even more concerned and distraught.

Osiris related to Maya's obsession with her work, citing how it drove those close to him away but Maya's reference to salvation led him to believe the Ishtar scientist was being swayed by The Witness. Other recordings would surprise Osiris, such as Maya's study between the Veil and the Vex actually led to the procedure that created the Cloud Striders and, most of all, in the latest of logs, Maya's research led to creation of Lakshmi-2. Shocked that the former Future War Cult faction leader was actually from Neomuna and as Chioma stated "a copy of Maya", Osiris wondered by Lakshmi never mentioned of her connection to Maya or even Neomuna. Regardless, Osiris states that this will cause the Vanguard to question her role in the Last City's affairs and he will have to make an uncomfortable report to Ikora Rey. Ultimately, the next recording of Chioma Esi spoke of how Maya succeeded in connecting human minds to the Veil but Chioma did not express pride or feel a sense of accomplishment. Thinking back on how many lives were lost in their experiments made her feel disgusted with Maya, the other scientists and even herself, to the point where she didn't feel anything. Nimbus is shaken by this, leading him to not want to hear any more but Osiris consoles the Cloud Strider regarding the nature of obsession, stating how he freed himself of such a feeling by doing something Maya Sunderesh never did, he lost.

* Osiris appeared as a temporary vendor at the Sundial on Mercury during Season of Dawn and then returned as an NPC in the Tower's Bazaar after the release of Beyond Light during Season of the Hunt. Osiris remained silent until Season of the Chosen. Towards the end of Season of the Splicer, Osiris' NPC was removed from the Bazaar following his disappearance from the city.
