Disaffected in the wake of Kazimir Volken's deceit, Raith quietly slips into New York to determine the facts behind his old commander's demise, and to reassess the current situation. Arming himself with information and gathering a small group of old allies, he makes the decision to "get the band back together" and reassemble the Vanguard remnants left in New York into a new organization, a plan that is disrupted with the abduction of Gabriel Gray under Arthur Petrelli's orders. The Remnant's first test comes during their surprise attack on Pinehearst, ending with the solidification of the ties between them in agreement that they can do more good (and more damage) working together. |

 |
The Vanguard Remnant takes its first steps towards making the world a better place with Raith ensuring that everyone involved is willing to lie, steal, torture and kill to get the job done. With a few stumbles, the Remnant becomes more unified and more powerful as their numbers slowly, carefully increase and their footing becomes surer, but nothing is ever easy. Even as the Remnant reaches a soft agreement with rival organization Phoenix, weathers continued harassment from CIA agent Feng Daiyu, and Raith's relationship to Ethan Holden gradually begins to warm, its leader comes to learn that he can't yet have what he wants. He becomes aware through an old friend, the King of Pentacles, that the government has taken a keen interest in him and his allies, and the only way to make sure the Remnant has a chance of surviving is to become the King of Swords one more time. |
