'''Rhulk, Disciple of | '''Rhulk, Disciple of the Witness''' is the first of the [[Disciples]], extraordinarily powerful paracausal entities who collectively follow the [[Witness]] and do its bidding. Hailing from the planet [[Lubrae]], he played a prominent role in the creation of the [[Hive]] by conscripting the [[Worm]]s into servitude to the Witness and then facilitating the production of Worm larvae in [[Savathûn's Throne World]], all while keeping tabs on the [[Savathûn, the Witch Queen|Witch Queen]] herself from his own [[Sunken Pyramid|Pyramid]]. | ||
After Savathûn's rebirth in the [[Light]], Rhulk was imprisoned within his own Pyramid by a curse of Light placed by the Witch Queen. However, he would retaliate by bringing the [[Scorn]] into her throne world and subsequently taking command of them. He is the final boss of the ''[[Vow of the Disciple]]'' [[Raid]], where he ultimately met his demise at the hands of [[Guardian]]s. | After Savathûn's rebirth in the [[Light]], Rhulk was imprisoned within his own Pyramid by a curse of Light placed by the Witch Queen.

Rhulk was born to his father [[ | Rhulk was born to his father [[Rhelik]] and mother [[Vrhuna]] on the planet [[Lubrae]], a civilization that had been blessed by the [[Traveler]] but fell into a military dictatorship after it left. Rhulk lived with his clan of [[Wanderers]] in the [[Wildlands]] outside of the sole city on the planet, which was controlled by [[The Regime]]. The Wanderer clans were subject to frequent dangers, including monstrous wildlife that emerged under the [[Umbral Sun]] at night and the [[Stalkers]] sent by the Regime to hunt and kill the Wanderers who rejected the city's ways. When he was young, Rhulk witnessed his father kill Stalkers who threatened the clan with a brutality fueled by a bloodlust that Rhulk also felt. He confided in his father about their shared rage and was taught to hate the Regime by him, but when the rest of their clan began to shun Rhelik for his brutality he softened, much to Rhulk's disappointment.<ref name="Tainted">'''Bungie (2022/2/22)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[The Witch Queen]] - [[Lore]]: [[Lore:Shattered_Suns#Tainted|Shattered Suns: Tainted]]''</ref> His father attempted to teach him patience by making Rhulk watch as other Wanderers were killed by a hunting party of Stalkers and holding him back when Rhulk attempted to intervene. Rhulk was enraged and confused by his father's inaction and believed he was betraying his principles, and vowed to bring down the Regime.<ref name="Untamed">'''Bungie (2022/2/22)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[The Witch Queen]] - [[Lore]]: [[Lore:Shattered_Suns#Untamed|Shattered Suns: Untamed]]''</ref> | ||
Although the clan sought only to help others in need of assistance and to care for the land, the Stalkers continued to pursue them. During one battle several members of the clan were killed, including [[Fhent]] and one of Rhulk's clan-uncles. Rhulk fought back against the Stalkers and killed several of them, claiming their supplies and equipment as his own, including a [[Glaive]] and [[Sapphiric Converter]]. However, Rhelik was captured during the raid by the Stalkers and the rest of the clan, including Rhulk's mother Vrhuna, looked upon him with only concern and fear due to his brutality during the fight. Frustrated by what he perceived as their weakness, that night as the clan danced and sang in tribute to their survival and in honor of the dead, Rhulk ripped apart a pet [[Yhadt]] that belonged to some of the clan's children. The clan was horrified, and though Rhulk felt powerful in that moment he feared that made him a monster.<ref name="Endangered">'''Bungie (2022/2/22)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[The Witch Queen]] - [[Lore]]: [[Lore:Shattered_Suns#Endangered|Shattered Suns: Endangered]]''</ref> | Although the clan sought only to help others in need of assistance and to care for the land, the Stalkers continued to pursue them.
