Out of supplication, Rhulk brought destruction through fire and [[glaive]]; leading fleets of [[Pyramids]] that could blot out suns and moons to pursue his enemies and burn all traces of its passing. At one point, Rhulk would feel himself bereft of purpose and fulfillment in his duty, until the Witness endowed him with the task of subjugating the race of [[Ahslid]] into their service. The Witness stated to Rhulk that this opportunity would test his worth in enlightening the Ahslid with the same lessons of irreverence the latter learned from his master, to bring the insectoid race to the service of the Witness. However, Rhulk is tasked to do so without revealing his presence to the Ahsild. Feeling castrated of his favor, Rhulk took the Witness' message to heart and changed his warmongering approach to one of unseen guidance and outreaching subterfuge.<ref name="Resonant Fury Mask">'''Bungie (2022/2/22)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[The Witch Queen]] - Item Description: [[Resonant Fury Suit (Hunter)#Resonant Fury Mask|Resonant Fury Mask]]''</ref>

At first, Rhulk stalked the race of Ahslid for fourteen years and offered every warrior he met the opportunity to prove their worth, only for them to cower and be bled at the tip of his glaive. The disciple would eventually comprehend his master's commandment as a lesson in insight and his own folly of spilling their blood by himself. Instead, the disciple would cull members of the race in secret and his violence begat fear and paranoia amongst the Ahslid, creating a generation of their kin that would closely follow Rhulk's philosophies.<ref name="Resonant Fury Grips">'''Bungie (2022/2/22)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[The Witch Queen]] - Item Description: [[Resonant Fury Suit (Hunter)#Resonant Fury Grips|Resonant Fury Grips]]''</ref>

In the span of years, the Lubrean fosters this new generation by acting as their unseen guide; presenting opportunity to families lacking it and inducing suffering to those unsullied of it. Amongst the new brood was the youngest foundling Rhulk named [[Uun]], whom the disciple took a particular interest in after their first kill. The Subjugator, seeing himself in the young Ahslid, would uncharacteristically spare him of ostracization from his peers and leave him to grow as a warrior. This experience would cause Rhulk to question whether the Witness had a hand in shaping his own destiny. <ref name="Resonant Fury Vest">'''Bungie (2022/2/22)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[The Witch Queen]] - Item Description: [[Resonant Fury Suit (Hunter)#Resonant Fury Vest|Resonant Fury Vest]]''</ref>
