'''Bahr'Toran''' was a [[Loyalist Centurion]] assigned to assist [[Katabasis]].

==Biography==
===Early Life===
{{Quote|I threw off my father's shackles and pledged my life to the emperor. I was shown mercy.|Bahr'Toran, on his past}}<ref name="CLE4"/>
When [[Dominus Ghaul]] overthrew [[Emperor Calus]], Bahr'Toran's father sided with the usurper. Bahr'Toran saw this as a disgrace to their bloodline and renounced his father to pledge his life to Calus.<ref name="CLE4">'''Bungie (2021/2/9)''', ''Destiny 2: Season of the Chosen - Lore:Captain's Log, [[Lore:Captain's Log#ENTRY 4 - Well of Absence|ENTRY 4 - Well of Absence]]''</ref> He would go on to embark on the [[Leviathan (ship)|Leviathan]] and travel the stars, eventually arriving in the [[Sol System]].

===Theft of the Glykon Volatus===
{{Quote|All Cabal ships belong to Calus. And Qinziq does not answer to you.|Bahr'Toran arguing with Katabasis over the appropriation of the Glykon}}<ref name="CLE2"/>
Bahr'Toran was assigned to help the Emperor's [[Shadow]] [[Guardian]], Katabasis, alongside the [[Psion]] [[Qinziq]]. They were to appropriate a ship, the [[Glykon Volatus]], for use in an operation by the Emperor. The Centurion was assigned to make sure the other Cabal would follow the Guardian's orders and to keep him in line in case he decided to go against the Emperor. The trio boarded a dishelved [[Thresher]] and made their way into the atmosphere of [[Nessus]] and a [[Red Legion]]'s shipyard. Along the way, they introduced each other, and Katabasis immediately coined a nickname for his handler: Bahto. Despite not liking it, a nod to the [[Ghost]] [[Gilgamesh]] made him understand he had to get used to it.<ref name="CLE2">'''Bungie (2021/2/9)''', ''Destiny 2: Season of the Chosen - Lore:Captain's Log, [[Lore:Captain's Log#ENTRY 2 - Lust and Reappropriation Pt. I|ENTRY 2 - Lust and Reappropriation Pt. I]]''</ref>

As the trio reached the docked Glykon, Qinziq raised herself and Bahto upon the ship using her [[Void]] powers, while Katabasis followed. After the Psion calibrated a [[Transmat]] device on the Centurion's chest, the group split, with Katabasis and Qinziq securing the ship while Bahto set up demolition charges over a signal dish both as a distraction and to hide their location until they can deactivate the ship's location beacon. As the two were warming up the ship's engines, Bahr'Toran transmatted onto the bridge next to them, out of breath but having set the charges. They flew the ship into space covered by the explosion, described by the Centurion as 'the spark that burns the past to fuel the future".<ref name="CLE3">'''Bungie (2021/2/9)''', ''Destiny 2: Season of the Chosen - Lore:Captain's Log, [[Lore:Captain's Log#ENTRY 3 - Lust and Reappropriation Pt.

===Experiments of the Glykon===
{{Quote|Calus will expose the secrets of the Darkness and use them to reclaim Torobatl. It will be.|Bahr'Toran on his loyalty to Calus}}<ref name="CLE4"/>

With the ''Glykon Volatus'' added to the [[Loyalists|Loyalist's]] fleet, Katabasis and Bahr'Toran spent the next six weeks capturing [[Scorn]] from the [[Tangled Shore]] for Qinziq to experiment on. As the Centurion completed the recovery of their casualties, Katabasis wondered what they were capturing so many Scorn for. Bahr'Toran replied that it didn't matter and that, unlike his father, he would see his loyalty rewarded by the Emperor, reacquiring the right to sire, and that the Emperor would retake [[Torobatl]] with the power he'd acquire from the [[Darkness]].<ref name="CLE4"/>

Eventually, the Glykon was moved to the orbit of [[Phobos]], next to the anomaly left in the place of [[Mars]]. Calus, his scribe [[Amsot]] and the [[Crown of Sorrow]] were brought aboard, and the Emperor attempted to use it to commune with the Darkness. Though he failed many times, Katabasis and Bahr'Toran kept assisting the communion attempts. During one of these audiences, he would tell the Hunter that he saw his Ghost speaking with the Scorn as much as he could. Before the conversation could continue though, the communion succeeded, and the Glykon plunged into the anomaly.<ref name="CLE8">'''Bungie (2021/2/9)''', ''Destiny 2: Season of the Chosen - Lore:Captain's Log, [[Lore:Captain's Log#ENTRY 8 - Acheron's Wall|ENTRY 8 - Acheron's Wall]]''</ref>

===Trapped in the Void===
{{Quote|How do we choose who deserves our loyalty?|Bahr'Toran on loyalty}}<ref name="CLE10"/>

The ''Glykon Volatus'' was transported into another realm where the Scorn on the ship were continuously brought back to life and hunted the surviving crew, while the ship itself was continuously bent and twisted by the dark waves that surged through the strange realm. Calus disappeared during the experiment, with all the Psion [[Councilor]]s helping with the communion being killed. Bahr'Toran worked with the other survivors over several weeks to find a way to return to their reality and, alongside Katabasis, recovered a command key that would give them access to the viewing room where the Crown of Sorrow was held so Qinziq could attempt to sever the link it held to the Scorn. Bahr'Toran had his reservations about this, believing the Emperor was still on board somewhere and he had to find him, but Katabasis convinced him that his life right now was more important than his Emperor's.<ref name="CLE10">'''Bungie (2021/2/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Chosen]] - [[Lore]]:[[Lore:Captain's Log|Captain's Log]], [[Lore:Captain's Log#ENTRY 10 - Blood in the Barrel|ENTRY 10 - Blood in the Barrel]]''</ref>

The two met with Qinziq on the command deck, with fifteen other Loyalists she had discovered. Bahto took a moment to kneel by the viewing window, staring into the nothingness beyond and wondering how one could choose their loyalties. Katabasis replied that it was a personal decision and that he did not owe anyone anything. The Psion prepared herself for the ritual while the others took defensive positions to combat the incoming Scorn assault. The Cabal cut down the waves of Scorn but were slowly whittled down until two [[Abomination]]s appeared and wreaked havoc on their lines. Katabasis charged one with [[Spectral Blades|blades of Void]], while Bahr'Toran took a [[Phalanx]]'s [[Energy Shield|shield]] and challenged the other, blocking its bolts. The two were successful in taking down the giant Scorn, but as they did, Qinziq succumbed to the strain of the ritual and burned into black flame. Katabasis looked at Bahto, and beyond him saw the [[Locus of Communion]] coming for them.<ref name="CLE10"/>
