'''Brother Vance''' is a blind disciple and representative of the [[Cult of Osiris]]. When the [[Wolf Rebellion]] began, Vance travelled to the [[Vestian Outpost]] in the [[Reef]] and attempted to recruit the strongest [[Guardian]]s for the [[Trials of Osiris]], offering entry and rewards to the event. After leaving the Reef, Vance led [[The Lighthouse (Destiny 2)|The Lighthouse]], a Cult outpost on [[Mercury]] located near the entrance to the [[Infinite Forest]]. He has written multiple books on Osiris and spends much time reading the portents and watching for Osiris' prophecies to come true. [[Ikora Rey]] derisively called Vance "Osiris' greatest fan." The de facto leader of the cult, Brother Vance, admits to having never met Osiris, and expresses intense jealousy that the Guardian met with him in the [[Infinite Forest]].

Upon the arrival of the [[Pyramids]] to [[Mercury]], Vance was visited by the Young Wolf once more, who provided him a briefing from Commander [[Zavala]] of all that was happening throughout the solar system. Consulting his texts to determine which potential prophesized end-time scenario they were currently experiencing, Vance noted that Osiris had used an excessive amount of [[Fractaline]] to power the [[Obelisks]] during the [[The Sundial|Sundial]] crisis. From the Lighthouse, Vance could feel how reality had been damaged by those actions and that countless timelines were pulling against a chronological center, with the arrival of the Pyramids placing additional pressure on them that could cause it to collapse. He believed the Infinite Forest was key to solving this issue and requested the Young Wolf provide help in determining what could be done. When the Young Wolf returned from gathering data, Vance was absorbed in studying his scrolls and comment that the connections between Osiris, the Forest, and the Pyramid went beyond just prophecy, but abruptly cut himself off as he heard the Lighthouse chime a dirge for a Guardian falling the Trials of Osiris. He noted the tones had gotten richer in the shadow of the Pyramid and asked if the Young Wolf could hear it. He smiled as he heard the chime once more and described it as the song of life and death, causing the Young Wolf to depart to attend their other duties and leave Vance to his studies.<ref name="evacQuest"/>

Once the Guardian departed the Lighthouse for the last time, Vance collected his belongings and entered through the gateway to the Infinite Forest. While he was initially afflicted by the dizzying nature of the place, he attuned his Infinite Simulacrum to the crack in the Forest and sealed himself within. Many iterations of Vance from different realities coalesced inside the Forest with him, spreading his message of hope and joy into every reality. The original Vance began to sing [[Hope for the Future]] before another iteration of himself finished his sentence. Vance turned to analyze his other self and he found his hands reaching towards his throat; his alternate self twisted beneath his hands, turning cold and rigid. He was thrown onto his back by the parallel version of himself, but Vance reached underneath his blindfold and began to gouge his eyes. Vance noted that his other self still had eyes and found it to be 'unfortunate'.<ref>'''Bungie (2020/6/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of Arrivals]] - [[Lore]]: [[Lore:Duress_and_Egress#Vance:_Passeri|Duress and Egress - Vance: Passeri]]''</ref>
