Gahlran, the Sorrow-Bearer

"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 raid of the same name.

Biography
Born in the Royal Baths of the Leviathan, Gahlran was breed 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
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 Galhran. 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 Galhran's hands.
