'''Kelgorath, Risen from Bones''' is an [[Ascendant Hive|Ascendant]] [[Hive]] [[Wrathborn]] [[Knight]] | '''Darkblade Kelgorath, Risen from Bones,''' formerly '''Kelgorath, Risen from Bones,''' is an [[Ascendant Hive|Ascendant]] [[Hive]] [[Wrathborn]] [[Knight]] who swore loyalty to [[Xivu Arath, God of War]]. He served as a recurring antagonist of ''[[Season of the Lost]]'', having to lead the local forces of Hive, [[Taken]], and [[Scorn]] to scour the [[Ley Lines]] that surrounded the [[Dreaming City]] in pursuit of [[Savathûn, the Witch Queen|Savathûn]] and the [[Awoken]] artifact [[Ager's Scepter]]. | ||

In another tale, Kelgorath hunted an [[Awoken]] [[Techeun]] through the [[Ley Lines]] for three days. The fearful Techeun radiated a stench of fear that allowed the Knight to track her down and corner her. In desperation, the Techeun collapsed the [[Ascendant Plane]] onto him through her magic which resulted in his death. Kelgorath re-emerged in his next life with newfound determination to not be fooled again by her trick. When he confronted the Techeun a final time, the Awoken Witch mocked the Knight by saying he still bore the scarlet flecks on his chitin flesh and belittled him for abandoning his Witch Queen so quickly. Kelgorath, angered by her words, ripped off the crystal implanted on the Techeun's forehead and added it to his collection of war trophies.<ref name="Risen"/> | In another tale, Kelgorath hunted an [[Awoken]] [[Techeun]] through the [[Ley Lines]] for three days.

He then gathered these ornaments of conquests and built a shrine; deep within the Ascendant Plane, from the bones of his foes to direct his tribute and worship to Xivu Arath. As [[Soulfire]] vanished from the ground, Kelgorath placed his head against his shrine and smudged a bloodied sigil of his new Hive God to show his devotion to war. The sky around him began to churn as Kelgorath inhaled the first breath of his new life. As he prepared to face his adversary, he glanced at the trinkets of his conquests and recollected his journey from killing the Guardian and Techeun to renouncing the Witch Queen. Still determined to eliminate any traces of the heretic sister, Kelgorath wanted to make an example of his adversary, [[Hurdru]], as they still showed loyalty towards Savathûn. Through battle, he would confirm his allegiance to Xivu Arath and through blood, he would don her image of war and be one step closer to erasing Savathûn | He then gathered these ornaments of conquests and built a shrine; deep within the Ascendant Plane, from the bones of his foes to direct his tribute and worship to Xivu Arath.

{{Hide|title= Season of the Deep Spoilers|After pledging his loyalty as a servant of the God of War, Kelgorath led a raid on [[Titan (moon)|Titan]] after it had been absorbed by the Witness' power. Commanding a legion of Acolytes and Thralls, he slaughtered the remaining forces of [[Savathûn's Brood]] on the moon. Afterwards, he would offer the new conquest to Xivu Arath, using a ritual in which several Acolytes sacrifice themselves to invoke the God of War. She would accept her new servant and, as a reward, brought back to life [[Kudazad, Binder of Savathûn]], a Wizard of Savathûn whose skull had been left adrift in the waves of Titan and used in the ritual.<ref>'''Bungie (2023/5/23)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Deep]], Item Description: [[A Distant Pull]]''</ref>}} | |||

When the Hive learned of Savathûn's ambition to remove her [[Worm]], Xivu Arath ordered Kelgorath to pursue her heretic sister through the [[Dreaming City]]. [[The Guardian]] was also in pursuit of Savathûn for other reasons and entered the Ascendant Plane to bypass the Hive barricades, however, [[Crow]] informed them a Wrathborn was nearby. Kelgorath emerged from an [[Ascendant Portal]] and dueled against his new adversary with his Hive [[Cleaver]]. As the Guardian inflicted damage against Kelgorath, he gained an immunity shield thanks to [[Taken Shield Weaver]]s. The Guardian turned the tide by defeating the Wizards and Kelgorath.<ref>'''Bungie (2021/8/24)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Lost]] - [[Mission]]: [[Cocoon]]''</ref> | When the Hive learned of Savathûn's ambition to remove her [[Worm]], Xivu Arath ordered Kelgorath to pursue her heretic sister through the [[Dreaming City]].

Months after this, on the day of the ritual to exorcise Savathûn's Worm, Xivu Arath deployed Kelgorath, who had once again risen from death, to the Dreaming City alongside her brood in a final effort to capture her sister. Mara, who had anticipated an attack, called upon the Guardians to fend off the God of War's forces.<ref>'''Bungie (2021/8/24)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Lost]] - [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ojmPzD2-jos The Queen's Summons]''</ref> After [[Kruutiks, Reefbane|Kruutiks]] and [[Kholks, Taken of Xivu Arath|Kholks]] had been laid low, Xivu Arath, in an act of desperation, ordered her Wrathborn champion to attack the Ritual Spire and prevent the exorcism at all costs. Now donning new armor and wielding a [[Boomer]], Kelgorath entered the Spire through the Ascendant Plane and battled the Guardians, alongside hordes of Hive reinforcements. He would even summon large masses of [[Taken]] energy in order to wipe out his enemies. However, this would all be in vain as he could not match the power of the Lightbearers and would be once again defeated.<ref>'''Bungie (2021/8/24)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Lost]] - [[Mission]]: [[Exorcism]]''</ref> | Months after this, on the day of the ritual to exorcise Savathûn's Worm, Xivu Arath deployed Kelgorath, who had once again risen from death, to the Dreaming City alongside her brood in a final effort to capture her sister.

Despite Kelgorath's failure to prevent the exorcism or the Witch Queen's escape, Xivu Arath still found Kelgorath useful, enough to bring him back as a Darkblade and have him guard a submind vault on Mars as the God of War attempted to seize control over the Warmind Rasputin's network, in preparation for the arrival of the Witness. Though Kelgorath guarded the vault dutifully, he would be forced to fight an infiltration team seeking access to the vault's data, made up of the same Guardians who defeated him in the Reef. Despite his power, however, Kelgorath failed to defeat the Guardians, allowing them access to the vault before reinforcements could arrive.<ref>'''Bungie (2022/12/6)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Seraph]] - [[Heist Battlegrounds|Heist Battleground]]: [[Heist Battleground: Mars|Mars]]''</ref> | |||

Following another humiliation at the hands of the Guardians, Kelgorath brought himself to a broken court of the High Celebrant where he would be taunted by the wizard, [[Rakthrin]], a member of Xivu Arath's War-Council. Remembering how he once served the Witch Queen, Rakthrin mocked him on how he could've found greatness had he still served the Witch Queen even as she turned over to the Light which angered Kelgorath who refused, wishing to continue his service to Xivu Arath with renewed vigor. Pleased with this, Rakthrin used her magic to crack the court's altar, revealing an emerald sliver of a blade, a piece of the Taken King's very own sword. Transfixed on the blade shard, Kelgorath agreed to Rakthrin's union, thereby allowing himself to be Taken.<ref>'''Bungie (2023/5/23)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Deep]], Item Description: [[Thin Precipice]]''</ref>}} | |||

When he reaches half health, he will become immune, prompting the players to deposit arc charges dropped by the [[Arc-Charged Wrathborn]] into the core to activate the defense laser. While he is immune, he will instead move slower towards the players and strike with his axe when in range. Once all charges are deposited, he will become vulnerable once again and charge at the players once again until he is defeated. | When he reaches half health, he will become immune, prompting the players to deposit arc charges dropped by the [[Arc-Charged Wrathborn]] into the core to activate the defense laser.
