'''Nezarec, Final God of Pain''' is one of the [[Disciples of the Witness]], powerful [[Darkness]]-wielding beings who follow the teachings of the [[Witness]]. He led the [[Black Fleet]] in its assault on [[Earth]] during the [[Collapse]], although apocryphal records suggest that he may have been known to humanity in some fashion prior to the [[Golden Age]]. He is the final boss of the [[Root of Nightmares]] raid, where he was laid to his final rest by the [[Guardian]]s during their push to expunge him from the [[CloudArk]].
'''Nezarec, Final God of Pain''' is a chosen [[Disciples|Disciple]] of the [[Witness]], possessing immense psionic dominion over the [[Void]] and usage over [[Darkness]] to inducing [[Nightmares]] into his victims to feed upon their fear and pain. Nezarec himself was felt mentally across a multitude of civilizations who feared and even worshipped his presence, including the [[Psion]] race and even [[Humanity]] before the [[Golden Age]].  
 
Nezarec initially led the [[Black Fleet]] in its assault on [[Earth]] during the [[Collapse]], seeking out [[The Veil]] on behalf of [[The Witness]]. The Disciple would had claim it only to have been betrayed by [[Savathûn, the Witch Queen]], who killed him and cursed his remains entombed in his own [[The Lunar Pyramid|Pyramid]] on the [[Moon]]. Despite his physical death, echoes of his consciousness continued to haunt across the system in whispers. His cursed remains were then separated and exchanged hands amongst the [[Fallen]], only to be gathered centuries later by two parties: The [[Guardian]]s of the [[Last City]] and [[Eramis, Kell of Darkness]] of the [[House of Salvation]]; the latter whom had claimed only his head for the Witness. 
 
Nezarec himself would become active again in the fallout of [[The Traveler]]'s attack on [[The Witness]]' [[Pyramid]], where he haunted the citizens of [[Neomuna]] in the [[CloudArk]]. Serving as the final boss of the ''[[Root of Nightmares]]'' raid, he would fully resurrect by a newly grown [[Tree of Silver Wings]], only to be laid to his final rest by the [[Guardian]]s during their push to expunge him from the system.
