'''Besurith, Daughter of Crota''' is a child of the [[Hive]] prince [[Crota, Son of Oryx|Crota]] seen in the [[In the Deep]] [[Missions|Mission]], where she and some [[Scholar of the Cryptoglyph|Scholars]] attempted to protect the [[Cryptoglyph]] from [[The Guardian]]. Attempting to protect the key [[Hive]] artifact, preserving it within the [[Catacombs]], and help to perpetuate her [[Hashladûn, Daughter of Crota|sister's]] plan, she personally attacked the Guardian to keep the Cryptoglyph from falling into their hands, resulting in her inevitable demise.

Along with her sisters [[Hashladûn, Daughter of Crota|Hashladûn]], [[Kinox]] and [[Voshyr]], Besurith retained her faith in [[Oryx, the Taken King|Oryx]] even after his death. Believing it to be the only way to save the [[Hidden Swarm]], as no successor to Oryx had emerged, they forged a plan to resurrect him in the form of a [[Nightmare]]. Moreover, knowing Oryx's immense power of will and vast tribute, they believed their king could yet come back as he had in the past.<ref name="FIB">'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''', ''Destiny 2: Shadowkeep - Lore:Inquisition of the Damned, [[Lore:Inquisition of the Damned#X:_Faith_in_Bone|X: Faith in Bone]]''</ref>.

While the sisters plotted, various Hive champions fought in the [[The Pit (Pit of Heresy)|Pit]] for the vacant Osmium Throne; most notably [[Zulmak, Instrument of Torment|Zulmak]], whose victory could threaten their plans before they had a chance to truly unravel.<ref name="Blood Sport">'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''', ''Destiny 2: Shadowkeep - Lore:Inquisition of the Damned, [[Lore:Inquisition of the Damned#IV: Blood Sport|IV: Blood Sport]]''</ref> The sisters didn't believe any of the gladiators were worthy of their grandfather's legacy and observed the battles with disgust. Zulmak kept winning every fight, gaining the title of "the Unwavering", until he was challenged by an unlikely adversary - the [[Deathsinger]] [[Ir Airâm, Deathsinger|Azavath]], her body actually a shell for her brother [[Akrazul, the Severed|Akrazul]]'s essence.<ref name="XI">'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''', ''Destiny 2: Shadowkeep - Lore:Inquisition of the Damned, [[Lore:Inquisition of the Damned#XI: The Anti-Logic|XI: The Anti-Logic]]''</ref>

Upon defeating Zulmak, Azavath-now-Akrazul began slaughtering members of the court watching the pit fights. The royal sisters moved to escape, but Besurith halted them and asked to consider this moment of chaos as a perfect opportunity to eliminate the opponents to their rule. All four drew daggers from their cloaks and turned against those court members they deemed a threat, then promptly left with the surviving remains of the congregation.<ref name="XI"/>

Besurith was later tasked with protecting the Cryptoglyph deep within the Catacombs. She fell to the Guardian, and the artifact was stolen to allow [[Eris Morn]] to forge equipment protecting the Guardian from Nightmares.<ref>'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''', ''Destiny 2: Shadowkeep - [[In the Deep]]''</ref>
