Rhulk, Disciple of the Witness

Rhulk, Disciple of the Witness is one of the Disciples; extraordinarily powerful Darkness-wielding beings from multiple species who collectively follow and do the bidding of the Witness. Hailing from the planet Lubrae, he commanded one of the Pyramids of the Black Fleet, having been most recently sent to Savathûn's Throne World to assist the Witch Queen by spawning Worms for her Hive. After Savathûn's rebirth in the Light, he was imprisoned within his own Pyramid by a curse of Light cast by the Witch Queen. He is the final boss of the Vow of the Disciple Raid.

Biography
Rhulk was born on the planet lubrae, a civilization blessed by the traveler at one point but fell to a militarist dictatorship after it left. When the witness arrived the planet was already fracturing as one of its supposed moons was being destroyed. The witness found rhulk, a warrior betrayed by family that didn’t follow his race’s ideology and fell into an existential crisis. When the witness arrived he took in rhulk and made him into a disciple, soon with him he claimed the worms and worm gods. We don’t know much after that but at some point he ends up in savathün’s throne world being the one to reside with the worm god in the pyramid handing out worms for savathün’s brood. After her claim of light he was forced and trapped to stay in the pyramid till his downfall by the hands of the guardians.

Personality and Traits
Rhulk seems to be completely devoted to the darkness and even despises the guardians for the usage of darkness. He is mildly egotistical thinking he is above all who oppose him and even taunts the guardians while fighting him. It seems like while in the pyramid he befriended the worm familiars and the worm god, being the one who would have to create the worms for Savathün’s brood. He seems to like experimenting with the worm familiars as well as in the acquisition part of the raid you can see frozen scorn/fallen in containers with worms attached to them. These experiments may have failed.
