'''Val Ma'rag''' was a [[Cabal]] [[Incendior]] with the rank of [[Val]], and one of the few surviving [[Red Legion]] officers still left in the [[Sol System]] when [[Empress Caiatl]] arrived to reclaim the Legion. Seeking to gain her favor, Ma'rag struck at the [[Hive]] nests of the [[Cosmodrome]], but was killed in battle against the [[Guardian]]s.

Ma'rag grew up in the poorest, most rural region of his home planet before being recruited into the Red Legion.<ref name = "THL">'''Bungie (2021/2/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Chosen]] - [[Lore:From_the_Front#I._The_Hopeful_Legion|From the Front I: The Hopeful Legion]]''</ref>

During the [[Red War]], Val Ma'rag was stationed in one of [[Earth]]'s dead zones. He held his assigned territory for several years, fighting off repeated Hive attacks, even as all his superior officers died and the Red Legion's position in the Solar System became increasingly untenable. As years passed without any support arriving for him, Ma'rag resigned himself to dying on Earth in service to the Legion.<ref name = "THL"/>

Empress Caiatl's arrival gave Val Ma'rag new inspiration. He would bet on himself in being the first to join Caiatl's [[War Council]], placing his [[Vita Brevis]] in the hands of [[Avrok, Spider's Associate|Avrok]] as collateral.<ref>'''Bungie (2021/2/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Chosen]] - [[Sparrow|Sparrow Lore]]: [[Vita Brevis]]''</ref><ref name = "THL"/> Seeking to join and exemplify himself, Ma'rag gathered his forces and launched an offensive against the Hive in the Cosmodrome, in the hopes of presenting Caiatl with a symbolic victory over the Hive as vengeance for their recent [[Fall of Torobatl|destruction]] of [[Torobatl]]. However, he underestimated the Hive's numbers, and his forces were overwhelmed. Nonetheless, Ma'rag fought on until the Guardians arrived and slew him in accordance with the [[Rite of Proving]], ending his ambitions.<ref>'''Bungie (2021/2/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Chosen]] - [[Battlegrounds|Battleground]]: [[Battleground: Foothold|Foothold]]''</ref>

==Gameplay==
==Gameplay==
Ma'rag is encountered as the final boss of [[Battleground: Foothold]]. He will initially be inside an unbreachable [[Portable Cabal Shield]], fighting Hive forces near the crashed [[Seeder Ship]] at the [[Skywatch]]. Before challeging the Val, it is recommended to destroy the [[Scorpius]] turrets deployed around the area. After the challenge is launched, the shield will drop, the Scorpius will activate, and further Cabal reinforcements will arrive via [[Harvester]]. As Ma'rag takes damage, more Cabal will arrive, until he has lost a third of his health.


At this point, he will move further up the hill and summon a [[Shieldbearer Centurion|Shieldbearer]] [[Shieldbearer Incendior|Champion]] to maintain his Immunity Shield. Once the Shieldbearer is slain, Ma'rag will be vulnerable again, and the Hive will also send reinforcements from their territory, potentially pincering players between the two fronts. This will repeat once more when Ma'rag reaches a third of his health, and will move towards the final location. At this point, defeating the Shieldbearer will leave Ma'rag vulnerable, and his death will cause all Cabal to retreat and the activity to complete.
