- "He had but one purpose: bear the Crown of Sorrow and make the Hive mine.
Imagine my chagrin when his very personality was annihilated within minutes of exposure. Whatever viral language was etched into the Crown's interior had taken over.
Until you ended him, he belonged to a witch."
- — Emperor Calus
Gahlran, the Sorrow-Bearer was a former member of Emperor Calus' Loyalists driven insane by the Crown of Sorrow and the main antagonist of the aforementioned raid.
Biography[edit]
Born in the Royal Baths of the Leviathan, Gahlran was bred to be a Shadow in Calus' service by wielding an ancient Ascendant Hive artifact, the Crown of Sorrow, and using its powers to command the Hive. The Crown, however, was a trap set by Savathûn, the Witch-Queen with the purpose of corrupting Calus to her will, and instead drove Gahlran insane. As a result, the mad Cabal brought the Hive to infest the lower levels of the Leviathan; having taken the deepest depths of the Menagerie as his kingdom.
After the Guardian and their fireteam infiltrates his Kingdom of Sorrow, he confronts them and tries to defend himself with the aid from his Deceptions. Both are ultimately slain by the Raid fireteam using Savathûn's magic, and the Crown left inert.
Gameplay[edit]
Gahlran spawns a crystal, blessed ads, non-blessed ads, and deceptions. during the damage phase he will spawn a deception. Breaking the shield on it will cause it to stand still and Gahlran's hand will begin to glow green. If the hand is shot, he will bring down a cleaver and kill the deception if it is under Gahlran. after 3 deceptions are dead his hand will try to connect to his head. The guardians must prevent this or wipe. After bringing his hands down you must shoot all 3 in the head to reveal the real one. The damage phase will start with him raising his hands again . after stopping this his head is able to be damaged. He will raise his hands multiple times during the damage phase, so make sure to have someone focusing on Gahlran's hands.
- Judging from the Lore tabs, Gahlran is merely over a few hours old.
- Gahlran is the second individual from another race to command the Hive. The first being Hiraks, the Mindbender of the Scorn.
- Based on his appearance and lack of major clothing, Gahlran may have been one of Calus's Ceremonial Bathers.
- Gahlran is the second final boss of a Raid to be Cabal, the first being Val Ca'uor.
- According to the lore tabs, Gahlran was a genetically modified Ceremonial Bather, bred to be strong-willed in an attempt to use the Crown of Sorrow to control the Hive.
- Out of all Cabal bosses in the Destiny series, Gahlran could very be the largest, towering over even Dominus Ghaul, Val Ca'uor and Emperor Calus.
