in the Temperance ending, he technically keeps his mind after going beyond the Blackwall, but he still possessed the Canto deck in his head and as he slipped beyond the Blackwall, he blended with the last AI he summoned with the deck's Blackwall gateway-as a merc in the physical world, he had morals to dictate how he did his wetwork and tried to be fair and impartial, but beyond the Blackwall, blended with the AI, that cold side of him he doesn't like comes to the forefront and 'mercy' is not a word he has in his vocabulary anymore. He goes about delivering justice as Alt's merc under the code name Erebus (I took the name from the gun you can get crafted with the same components as the Canto deck, as it seems fitting for AI! Vaughn)
He eventually makes contact with Kerry and Johnny (the latter of which is now in Vaughn's physical body) but while he isn't the same Vaughn they knew, he is still very protective of them
post Temperance AI!Vaughn (AU)
Not a canon ending for him, but I like to explore it anyway
