Mirage's wish (which is moreso [[Nashala Dion|Nashala]]'s wish) is to help Nashala buy a piece of Wyoming to turn into a home for the Djinn,<ref>{{PageRef|name=Mirage}}'s in-game [[Mirage/Quotes#Select|voice line]] (Select): ''"I will play my part, and in doing so build a home for the Djinn."''</ref><ref>{{PageRef|name=Mirage}}'s in-game [[Mirage/Quotes#Killstreak|voice line]] (Killstreak): ''"Soon, Wyoming will be ours!"''</ref><ref>{{PageRef|name=Patron}}s in-game [[Mirage/Quotes#Patrons|voice line]] (Mirage Start): ''"The Djinn deserve to have a place to call their own, but birthing a nation is not easy.
