The description of Nezarec's Whisper | The description of Nezarec's Whisper suggests that Nezarec was anointed by [[Rhulk]] as a new Disciple. The lore tab of the weapon reveals that [[Eris Morn]] found the blade within a chamber of The Lunar Pyramid, covered in centuries of dust. Alongside the cutscene in Season of Plunder, it suggests that Nezarec was the original Disciple owner of the Lunar Pyramid and the glaive.<ref name="whisper">'''Bungie (2022/5/24)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Haunted]] - [[Weapon|Weapon Lore]]: [[Nezarec's Whisper]]''</ref> <ref name="cutscene"> '''Bungie (2022/9/20)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of Plunder]] - [[Sails of the Shipstealer]] [https://youtu.be/A9slzXnUNFk Cutscene]''</ref> | ||
Nezarec was described in a pre-Golden Age text titled, "Of Hated Nezarec". The text states that he will one day rise again, implying that he is either dead, dormant, or in hiding at the time of writing. The origin and age of this text is unknown, aside from that it predates the [[Golden Age]]. | Nezarec was described in a pre-Golden Age text titled, "Of Hated Nezarec".

It is revealed in ''[[Season of Plunder]]'' that Nezarec's corpse was discovered aboard the Lunar Pyramid by the [[Eliksni]] after their arrival in the [[Sol System]]. The Eliskni determined that Nezarec's body was a source of [[Darkness|great power]] and divided the corpse into pieces, distributing them as morbid talismans. These pieces were later stored within relics and hidden across the solar system. During the season's events, [[Eramis, Kell of Darkness]] sought to collect all the relics under the order of The Witness.<ref name="cutscene"/><ref>'''Bungie (2022/8/23)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of Plunder]] - [[Lore]]: [[Lore:Between Stolen Stars#I.

Ultimately, the Guardians gathered the majority of the pieces of Nezarec before Eramis. Mithrax was able to use them to create something useful: a special brew which was given to a comatose [[Osiris]] in the hopes that it would rouse him from his state. The brew worked as hoped leading Osiris to finally awaken from his slumber. | Ultimately, the Guardians gathered the majority of the pieces of Nezarec before Eramis.

During the battle between the Traveler and the Witness in Earth's orbit, the Traveler hit the mothership of the Pyramid Fleet with a terraforming beam. This beam deformed the surface of the Pyramid, causing large growths of seemingly benign flora within the structure of the ship. A six Guardian fireteam assembled to investigate the now derelict ship. Upon exploration of the interior, the team discovered a large sarcophagus, containing the disembodied head of Nezarec. This head is revealed to be all that was left of Nezarec after the Guardian's retrieval of the other pieces in Season of Plunder. Despite being decapitated, Nezarec, resurrected by the Traveler's terraforming power conversed with the fireteam, goading them on throughout the raid. Amongst other things, Nezarec talks on aspects of themselves, the nature of terror and how they wished to express their newfound paracausal powers. These powers appear to have been accentuated by the terraforming beam of Light that the Traveler shot, causing an immensely large growth to pierce the sarcophagus of Nezarec. We later learn from Osiris | During the battle between the Traveler and the Witness in Earth's orbit, the Traveler hit the mothership of the Pyramid Fleet with a terraforming beam.

The fireteam traveled throughout the shattered interior of the Pyramid, fighting the Shadow Legion in an effort to feed paracausal energy into the sarcophagus containing Nezarec. When enough energy was fed into the coffin, large contractions of Resonant energy began to pulse from the coffin, threatening the fireteam with extermination if they failed to attune with it. Nezarec's rebirth was complete. | The fireteam traveled throughout the shattered interior of the Pyramid, fighting the Shadow Legion in an effort to feed paracausal energy into the sarcophagus containing Nezarec.

With the fireteam returning to the sarcophagus, Nezarec burst forth from the amber-like encasement, displaying a newly grown body, fed on the Light and Darkness supplied by the Guardians. He reveled in his newly-found powers, controlling both Light and Dark, wishing to hear the screams of terror of the fireteam as he killed them. However, the guardians proved too strong in his newly born state and he was destroyed. Exploding in much the same fashion as both Rhulk, Calus and the Tormentors met their ends. Nezarec reminded the fireteam that even though he had expired, he would always be present in their memories and nightmares, an inescapable impression upon the Universe. | With the fireteam returning to the sarcophagus, Nezarec burst forth from the amber-like encasement, displaying a newly grown body, fed on the Light and Darkness supplied by the Guardians.
