Correct me if I’m wrong but I’m pretty sure it’s been established that Rasputin was the only Warmind. He’s not really the “surviving” currently either.

After Osiris was awakened by the power of the reliquaries, he experienced visions of a [[Neomuna|city]] on [[Neptune]]. After being told there was nothing there by [[Ikora]] and her Hidden, he resolved to ask Rasputin what he knew regarding this city. Learning that he was still disabled and that Ana had made no progress in repairing him, Osiris suggested asking her grandfather, [[Clovis Bray]], to try and fix him. After battling through Xivu Arath’s [[Wrathborn]] on Europa, they reached the AI and asked him to help repair Rasputin. Out of a need for legacy and self-preservation, Clovis agreed and inserted himself into Rasputin's experimental Exo frame. He explained to Ana and Osiris that they must gather Rasputin's Subminds and inject them into his core in order to fully fix him.

However, as the Guardians made progress in gathering the submind data of Malahayati and Charlemagne and gained access to the Seraph Station, the main hub of Rasputin's Warsat Network, Ana found an unconventional means to quickly restore Rasputin: finding the Ghost of the Lord Felwinter, [[Felspring]], who was recently discovered to be once a piece of Rasputin's code placed in an Exo before being made a Risen. Ana believes that within Felspring, the missing pieces of Rasputin's code, linguistic data and even pieces of Felwinter's personality engram can be used. Gaining Lord Saladin's approval in gaining access to Felspring's remains at the Iron Temple, the Guardian arrives to fend off a force of House Salvation Fallen led by [[Rilliks, Instrument of Xivu Arath]], alongside Saladin's Iron War Beasts. The Guardians and Cabal prevailed in repelling the Fallen attack and after acquiring Felspring's remains and connecting them to Rasputin's mainframe, the Warmind itself connects and speaks to Ana directly. Shocked, Rasputin clarifies that he copied Clovis's voice modulation to allow him to speak and inform Ana and the Guardian that they are in danger. Rasputin reveals that Clovis Bray I has deceived them, that he was never created by the scientist to be humanity's protector but as a means for Clovis Bray to assume control. In his mind, Clovis Bray was the only one worthy of being humanity's savior and thus sought to create a machine god of his own and use it to replace the Traveler but thanks to Ana Bray's deviance from his agenda, by teaching him the things that Clovis found "irrelevant": independent thought, history, art, philosophy and music, this did not happen. Through them, Rasputin had seen the beauty in humanity and thus changed Clovis's protocols and locked him out, infuriating his creator and saving countless lives. However, despite failing during the Collapse, Rasputin had awakened, but so has Clovis, now a digital mind like himself and instead of using Rasputin as his proxy, Clovis intends to have Rasputin be his prototype, a means to allow himself to become a machine god and be humanity's savior, as he always intended.

Furious over this revelation, Ana, alongside Elisabeth and the Guardian head back to the [[H.E.L.M.]] to confront Clovis. Though Ana was prepared to shoot her grandfather, Clovis attempted to justify his deceit, claiming that the Traveler could not be relied upon as it had abandoned the Eliksni and gave the Hive the Light and with Rasputin under their control, they can fight the enemies of humanity together. Ana lowered her weapon but instead of complying with her grandfather as he expected, she instead uploads Rasputin's personality into the prototype Exo Frame, leading the two digital minds to clash for control. Despite Clovis's efforts and demanding Elisabeth stop Ana, Rasputin seized control over the frame, deleting Clovis's personality in the process. With their grandfather removed, Ana took her leave, requesting to be alone for a bit. Her sister agreed before taking her leave but Rasputin, after rebooting his new frame, requested that the Guardian speak with Ana, stating she shouldn't be alone right now. The Guardian agrees and speaks with Ana, who while happy that Rasputin can now speak directly with humanity, something she has always wanted, dreads the thought of the damage Clovis would've caused once he used Rasputin to integrate himself into Seraph Station.
