Rhulk, Disciple of the Witness: Difference between revisions

The death of the First Disciple held major ramifications throughout the Throne World, the Scorn became driven to a frenzy without his leadership. Wanting control of the now vacant Pyramid on behalf of the Witness, the Scorn made repeated attempts to storm Rhulk's former stronghold but would be eradicated by Guardian fireteams to keep it under [[Vanguard]] occupation.<ref name="Preservation">'''Bungie (2022/2/22)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[The Witch Queen]] - [[Preservation]]''</ref>  

Rhulk's remains would be secured by the Guardians who survived the raid and transported by a [[Hidden]] agent named [[Marco]] back to [[The Enclave]] for study. Traveling en-route on [[Mars]]' desert surface, a motor accident caused his [[Sparrow]] to crash and grievously injure himself with a broken leg and a punctured lung. The container storing samples of the disciple's corpse lay cracked against a spar of basalt, to which Marco could hear whispers of Rhulk's thoughts echoing from it. From it, black veins snaked through the red dust of the wreckage to approach Marco's position, infecting his wounds with [[Darkness]]. They then began to heal his wounded knee as Marco felt himself possessed by the disciple's vestige, fighting it off with what willpower he held before he turned his [[Sidearm]] towards the cracked reactor shielding of his broken Sparrow. With one shot, the Sparrow ruptured into a small-scale nuclear blast which killed Marco and destroyed what remained of the First Disciple for good.<ref name="Gouging Light">'''Bungie (2022/2/22)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[The Witch Queen]] - Item Description:[[Gouging Light]]''</ref>
