Years later Corran Horn, on the advice of his grandfather Rostek Horn and not knowing of his father's connection to the dataphantom, used the pseudonym while searching for his wife Mirax. Under the Idanian guise, Horn infiltrated the Invids through the Khuiumin Survivors pirate gang based on Courkrus. He quickly rose through the pirate ranks, eventually being appointed by Admiral Tavira to take over the entire Vlarnya operation, though this was a role he would not choose to fulfill. Once he had rescued his wife, Corran abandoned the alias.
