The '''Disciples of the Witness''' are a powerful group of entities that follow the teachings of the [[The Witness|Witness]] and command its forces of the [[Black Fleet]]. Little is known about these beings, only that they are immensely paracausal wielders of the [[Darkness]] hailing from a variety of species and backgrounds, are completely devoted to their leader's beliefs, and oppose the forces of the [[The Coalition|Coalition]]. One of them, [[Rhulk, Disciple of the Witness|Rhulk]], controlled a [[The Sunken Pyramid|Pyramid]] of the [[Black Fleet]] in the [[Court of Savathûn]], where he built [[Harvest]] to serve as a breeding facility for [[Hive]] [[Worm]] larvae.<ref>'''Bungie (2022/2/22)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[The Witch Queen]] - [[Armor|Armor lore]]: [[Resonant Fury Suit (Warlock)#Resonant Fury Cowl|Resonant Fury Cowl]]''</ref><ref>'''Bungie (2022/2/22)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[The Witch Queen]] - [[Armor|Armor lore]]: [[Resonant Fury Suit (Warlock)#Resonant Fury Gloves|Resonant Fury Gloves]]''</ref> However, when [[Savathûn, the Witch Queen|Savathûn]] betrayed the Witness and gained the [[Light]], Rhulk was trapped in his Pyramid and became the effective leader of the [[Scorn]] in the throne world, calling on them to punish Savathûn for her betrayal.<ref>'''Bungie (2022/2/22)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[The Witch Queen]] - [[Armor|Armor lore]]: [[Resonant Fury Suit (Warlock)#Resonant Fury Bond|Resonant Fury Bond]]''</ref>
The '''Disciples of the Witness''' are a group of entities that follow the [[The Witness|aforementioned namesake]]. Little is known about these beings, only that they are immensely powerful wielders of the [[Darkness]] hailing from a variety of species and backgrounds, and are completely devoted to their leader's beliefs. One of them, [[Rhulk, Disciple of the Witness|Rhulk]], was the master of his own [[Sunken Pyramid|Pyramid]] of the [[Black Fleet]] in [[Savathûn's Throne World]], where he built a [[Dark City]] to serve as a breeding facility for [[Hive]] [[Worm]] larvae<ref>'''Bungie (2022/2/22)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[The Witch Queen]] - [[Armor|Armor lore]]: [[Resonant Fury Suit (Warlock)#Resonant Fury Cowl|Resonant Fury Cowl]]''</ref><ref>'''Bungie (2022/2/22)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[The Witch Queen]] - [[Armor|Armor lore]]: [[Resonant Fury Suit (Warlock)#Resonant Fury Gloves|Resonant Fury Gloves]]''</ref>.

More recently, [[Emperor Calus|Calus]], the former Emperor of the [[Cabal]], was anointed as the newest of the Witness' Disciples. [[Nezarec, Final God of Pain|Nezarec]] was also recently revealed to be a Disciple, having led the Black Fleet's first invasion of the [[Sol System]] during the [[Collapse]].
More recently, [[Emperor Calus|Calus]], the disgraced and exiled former emperor of the [[Cabal Empire]], was anointed as the newest of the Witness' Disciples. [[Nezarec]] was also revealed to be or have been a Disciple of the Witness, potentially having been [[Nezarec's Whisper|gifted]] by Rhulk in the distant past.
 
==Objectives==
The Disciples follow the leadership and teachings of the Witness, and are dedicated to its goal of bringing about the [[Final Shape]]. However, it appears that each of the Disciples have their own interpretation of what the Final Shape entails, and are permitted to act accordingly by the Witness. <ref name="The Cave">'''(2023/3/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Lightfall]], [[Lore:Inspiral|Inspiral]] - [[Lore:Inspiral#The_Cave|The Cave]]''</ref> An unnamed Disciple once privately wondered about this apparent contradiction with the Witness' philosophy, which seems to shun unnecessary proliferation and diversity, before coming to the conclusion that the Witness' plans would realize all of the Disciples' seemingly disparate visions of the Final Shape.
