Torna (organization)

Torna is a secret organization in Xenoblade Chronicles 2. They carry out secretive operations throughout Alrest.

Story
Malos, Sever, Jin, Nia, and Dromarch were first seen at the Argentum Trade Guild, they hire Bana to take on a salvaging job to haul up a huge ship, consisting of a small group of elite salvagers, including Rex. After they brought the ship on the surface of the Cloud Sea, Jin, and Malos asked that Rex to accompany them while they explore the ship. During the trip, they come across a door that can be only opened by Rex. Jin and Malos demanded him to touch the door as he is the only who can open it. Beyond the door lies a room that contains a coffin with Pyra in it, and her sword. Malos demanded that Rex not to touch it, but he touched it anyway, prompting to Jin to kill him by piercing his heart, with Malos complaining that it was a waste of time. Nia confronted Jin on why he killed him, with Malos replying to Nia to call the Monoceros. As they were making their way out of the ship. Nonetheless, Malos ordered Nia to kill the salvager crew to silence them. When she refused to do so, Malos got frustrated by Nia's refusal decided that he'll kill everyone. Just as he was prepared to kill the crew, the coffin that Pyra was resting in bursts into flames, awakening her, followed by a resurrected Rex. As Jin was prepared to draw his weapon, Malos intervened, say that he wanted to battle Rex. As the fight progressed, The Monoceros arrives to provide backup for Jin and Malos, fired upon Rex, prompting Nia and Dromarch to defect to Rex and Pyra's side. Just as Rex was about to be killed, Azurda came and rescued the group, Malos wanted to give chase, only for Jin to stop him and let them go, saying he'll send Akhos after them. Jin then departs to intercept the Core Crystal shipment

Jin, Malos, and Sever later returned to their hideout underneath the Cloud Sea, and were greeted by Akhos and Obrona, not surprised at the turn of events. Malos then asked where Patroka and Mikhail where, with Akhos answering that Mikhail was inspecting the Ardainian Factory, and his sister hunting Drivers, with Malos asking why do they need a lot of Core Crystals. Jin then asked where Pyra's location, prompting Obrona to open up a holographic map of Mor Ardain, Gormott, and Indol, with Malos remarking that Rex and his group were leaving Torigoth, Akhos added that they were leaving Gormott itself, then notified Jin of a shipment of Core Crystals are their way to Indol for cleansing, with Jin telling them that he can handle it, sending Akhos after Pyra, with Akhos enthusiastically accepting. Then Akhos pointed to a blue dot, deduces that it belongs to Dromarch, remarking that they were travelling together with Rex and Pyra with Jin telling Akhos to use any means he sees fit, with Malos accompanying him on the Monoceros.

Akhos and Obrona then later ambushed the party in Garfont Village, though Akhos used Obrona's Ether field to gain the upper hand, even injuring Pyra in the process, they were ultimately defeated by the combined efforts of and Roc, forcing them to retreat. Jin was later seen slaughtering every soldier on an Ardainian titan ship, then claims the Core Crystals that were being held.

Malos and Akhos then visited Cole, the former whom he also knows from ago. Akhos offers him to heal him, but Cole declined. As they were leaving, they noticed Iona eavesdropped and promptyly kidnapped her. Malos then appears in Pyra's dream of Elysium, and says to save Iona she needs to meet him alone at the place of her awakening, Olethro Ruins.

When she arrives, Malos asked Pyra how long if she's gonna stay in "that form", which she replies what she is now, then demands where Iona is. He then directed Pyra to an unconscious Iona, along with Akhos and Obrona with the former say that they should've sent them a finger. Malos then tell Pyra that she know what their after. Pyra then asked him if Jin is on his side, with Malos saying that he existed for his benefit, then attacked Pyra which Rex felt. Just as Malos was about to deliver the finishing blow to her, Rex intercepts the attack, angering Malos, with Akhos joining the fight. Using Obrona's Ether field, Malos and Akhos holds a significant advantage against Rex, with him asking why won't they leave Pyra alone. Akhos then revealed Torna's ultimate goal, destroy mankind with her. Malos then emits a dark wave around him, something Sever cannot do, hinting at his true nature. Vandham then impaled himself on his scythes, negating the effects of Obrona's ether field, but despite his best efforts was slain by Malos, prompting Pyra to change into Mythra, something Malos was happy about. In the end Mythra was able to finally end the battle, killing both Sever and Obrona in the process, forcing Malos and Akhos to retreat.

Torna is not seen again until Rex and his friends corner Bana at the Ardainian factory, admitting to conspiring with Torna to produce artifical Blades for them. Patroka accompanied by Perdido and Mikhail accompanied by Cressidus, ambushed the group, with Mikhail flirting with Mythra, prompting Patroka to smack his face in annoyance, reminding him that their mission is to kill Nia and to retrieve Mythra. Just as they were about to win, Morag and Brighid assists Rex in defeating the duo, killing both of their Blades in the process. Patroka enraged by the loss of her Blade unleashes some unknown power with the intent to kill everyone, only to be stopped by Fan La Norne. Mikhail recognizes her, forcing him and Patroka to retreat, with her complaining that she's not done killing. Back on the Marsanes Jin is seen looking at the frozen body of his former Driver, Lora
