An ancient being with powerful psychic abilities, Nezarec is a sadist who relishes the fear and pain experienced by other sentient beings, and is known to induce nightmares in his victims in order to feed on their fear. He was known to several civilizations who feared and even worshipped him, including the pre-[[Cabal]] [[Psion]]s and pre-[[Golden Age]] [[Humanity]]. | ||
Nezarec led the [[Black Fleet]] in its assault on [[Earth]] during the [[Collapse]], carrying [[The Veil]] aboard his [[Lunar Pyramid|Pyramid]]. He was betrayed by [[Savathûn, the Witch Queen|Savathûn]], who killed him and cursed his remains, leaving him entombed in his own [[The Lunar Pyramid|Pyramid]] on the [[Moon]]. Despite his physical death, echoes of his consciousness continued to persist across the system. His remains were later found by [[Fallen]] scavengers, who would split Nezarec's corpse into pieces that were distributed amongst them as "relics" and talismans. These pieces would be gathered centuries later by two parties: The [[Guardian]]s of the [[Last City]] and [[Eramis, Kell of Darkness]] of the [[House of Salvation]] in [[Season of Plunder]]. The original Fallen raiding party would leave Nezarec's head inside the Lunar Pyramid.<ref>'''Bungie (2023/3/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]:[[Lightfall]]-[[Armor|Armor Lore]]: [[Bite of Trepidation Suit (Hunter)#Vest of Trepidation|Vest of Trepidation]]''</ref> This lead to the Witness later coming into the possession of Nezarec's head and encased his remains in a sarcophagus located on the [[The Witness]]' [[Pyramid]]. | Nezarec led the [[Black Fleet]] in its assault on [[Earth]] during the [[Collapse]], carrying [[The Veil]] aboard his [[Lunar Pyramid|Pyramid]].

During the campaign of [[Lightfall]], Neomuna Civil News reported that the [[Neomuni]] were experiencing widespread nightmares. The report went on to state that one name has appeared in all of these nightmares: Nezarec. The reports also speculated on the connections between Nezarec and the [[Psion]]s. These claims would later be confirmed during the [[Hypernet Current]] [[Strike]]. A mysterious voice said it would claim a part of [[Vex]] space for its own, and called itself Nezarec. In addition the Disciple can also occasionally be heard by [[The Guardian]] while they're patrolling [[Neomuna]], particularly in [[Maya's Retreat]] and the [[Thrilladrome]] Lost Sector. Whilst either [[Nezarec's Whisper]] or [[Nezarec's Sin]] is equipped these whispers become decipherable and Nezarec will taunt them further during the [[Terminal Overload]] public event. | During the campaign of [[Lightfall]], Neomuna Civil News reported that the [[Neomuni]] were experiencing widespread nightmares.

Additionally, a connection between Nezarec and the Tormentors may exist, as multiple [[Tormentor]]s named Imprints of Nezarec are fought both during the Lightfall campaign and during the exotic quest, ''The Final Strand''. When first encountered, Osiris claims that Tormentors are "The fruits of an unholy alliance between the Witness and Calus.",<ref>'''Bungie (2023/2/28)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Lightfall]] - Mission: First Contact</ref>, however [[Quinn Laghari]] later questions if they are the same species as Nezarec or are clones made by the Witness <ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ays25gide1Y&ab_channel=DestinyLoreVault| Idle Dialogue, Neomuna | Quinn: "The Same Species as Nezarec?" | Lightfall]</ref> | Additionally, a connection between Nezarec and the Tormentors may exist, as multiple [[Tormentor]]s named Imprints of Nezarec are fought both during the Lightfall campaign and during the exotic quest, ''The Final Strand''.

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.

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. The Guardians, however, proved too strong for his newly born state and he was destroyed, exploding in much the same fashion as Rhulk, Calus and the Tormentors had 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. | ||
