Considering only [[Eris]] came back alive, he was assumed to be dead, though unlike the other members of the fireteam, his fate was never witnessed by anyone else. After Eris' return to the City and the start of her cooperation with [[the Guardian]], messages purportedly written by Toland were discovered, indicating he yet survived in the [[Ascendant Realm]]. He attempted to communicate to the Guardian by unknown means, as he was taking "a debased joy in speaking again to small human-form heads." He is believed to be the creator of [[Bad Juju]]<ref name = "Bounty"/>, an exotic [[pulse rifle]] covered in the bones of an unknown creature. In addition, Toland is said to have left behing [[Shadow Price]], a legendary [[auto rifle]] issued to the Vanguard. Along with Eris and the Guardian, he has also forged [[Deathbringer]], an exotic [[rocket launcher]] which reuses a captured [[Deathsong]]. | ||

A whole copy of the journal was kept by [[Eris Morn]]. His studies led him to conclude that the Darkness was the evolutionary endpoint of the universe, and that its campaign of destruction was to ensure that nothing could ever rise up to challenge it.<ref>'''Bungie (2014-9-9)''', ''Destiny, PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies#Ghost_Fragment:_Darkness_3|Ghost Fragment: Darkness 3]]''</ref> He had a fascination with Hive rituals, particularly the [[Deathsong]] of [[Ir Yût, the Deathsinger|Ir Yût]].<ref>'''Bungie (2014-9-9)''', ''Destiny, PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies#Ir_Yût,_the_Deathsinger|Ir Yût, the Deathsinger]]''</ref> | ||
Years after Toland's exile and in the aftermath of [[The Great Disaster]], the old Warlock was visited by [[Eriana-3]] and [[Eris Morn]], who were seeking a way to destroy the Hive Prince [[Crota, Son of Oryx|Crota]]. He revealed to them that Crota could be killed if they were to enter the [[Ascendant Realm]] and slay him within his throne room after defeating his champions. Toland warned them of the many dangers they would face and spoke of the mysterious song sung by the Deathsingers that he wished to understand. Toland decided to join them in their quest to end Crota in order to learn more about the Hive, and they recruited three other Guardians to their mission: the [[Titan (class)|Titan]] [[Vell Tarlowe]] and the [[Hunter]]s [[Sai Mota]] and [[Omar Agah]].<ref>'''Bungie (2014/12/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Dark Below]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Activities/Raids#Crota.27s_End|Crota's End]]''</ref> As they prepared for their mission, Toland imparted what he knew of Hive lore to Eris, including his knowledge about the [[Ogre]]s known as the [[Might of Crota]], which would be unleashed when Crota's will was challenged.
