Ir Airâm, Deathsinger

"You know the legend?" "I do." "Will you lead the Choir?" "I will."

- Savathûn to Azavath upon her rebirth

Ir Airâm, Deathsinger (formerly Azavath) is a Hidden Swarm Deathsinger encountered in the Exotic Quest Faculties of the Skull.

Inquisition of the Damned
Formerly known as Azavath, she conspired with her siblings, the Wizard Malkanth, the Deceiver and the crippled Knight Akrazul, the Severed, to usurp the Daughters of Crota and kill them. In a ritual known as the Inquisition of Self, Malkanth would place Akrazul's essence within Azavath's body, severing the latter in the process. During the process, Azavath experienced visions of the Deathsong's origins and the legendary Choir that sang of it. The ritual failed however and Akrazul's rage proved to be too strong to control, forcing the newly fused Wizard to engage in uncontrolled slaughter, including both Malkanth and the Pit champion, Zulmak.

Azavath was not dead however, as her essence had been saved by Savathûn. Preying upon her purpose to master the Deathsong, the Witch-Queen placed Azavath's essence into Malkanth's body and instructed her to rebuild the Choir; to which the newly made Deathsinger took the name Ir Airâm (styled after A'Airâm, the First Death and a legendary Deathsinger of Hive mythos). Her first act was to unmake their siblings' failed abomination with her newly composed Song.

Shadowkeep
An ambitious Guardian followed a tip from Eris Morn on the empowerment of the Deathbringer through the death of a Deathsinger Wizard. Ir Airâm and her coven of Arias would be the targets of this attack thanks to Toland, the Shattered; all would be killed and their song stolen for the Guardian's own personal use.
