===Hunting the Witch Queen===

~~{{Hide|title= Season of the Deep Spoilers|~~After pledging his loyalty as a servant of the God of War, Kelgorath led a raid on [[Titan (moon)|Titan]] after it had been absorbed by the Witness' power. Commanding a legion of Acolytes and Thralls, he slaughtered the remaining forces of [[Savathûn's Brood]] on the moon. Afterwards, he would offer the new conquest to Xivu Arath, using a ritual in which several Acolytes sacrifice themselves to invoke the God of War. She would accept her new servant and, as a reward, brought back to life [[Kudazad, Binder of Savathûn]], a Wizard of Savathûn whose skull had been left adrift in the waves of Titan and used in the ritual.<ref>'''Bungie (2023/5/23)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Deep]], Item Description: [[A Distant Pull]]''</ref>}}

When the Hive learned of Savathûn's ambition to remove her [[Worm]], Xivu Arath ordered Kelgorath to pursue her heretic sister through the [[Dreaming City]]. [[The Guardian]] was also in pursuit of Savathûn for other reasons and entered the Ascendant Plane to bypass the Hive barricades, however, [[Crow]] informed them a Wrathborn was nearby. Kelgorath emerged from an [[Ascendant Portal]] and dueled against his new adversary with his Hive [[Cleaver]]. As the Guardian inflicted damage against Kelgorath, he gained an immunity shield thanks to [[Taken Shield Weaver]]s. The Guardian turned the tide by defeating the Wizards and Kelgorath.<ref>'''Bungie (2021/8/24)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Lost]] - [[Mission]]: [[Cocoon]]''</ref>

Despite Kelgorath's failure to prevent the exorcism or the Witch Queen's escape, Xivu Arath still found Kelgorath useful, enough to bring him back and giving him the title of '''Darkblade''' and have him guard a submind vault on Mars as the God of War attempted to seize control over the Warmind Rasputin's network, in preparation for the arrival of the Witness. Though Kelgorath guarded the vault dutifully, he would be forced to fight an infiltration team seeking access to the vault's data, made up of the same Guardians who defeated him in the Reef. Despite his power, however, Kelgorath failed to defeat the Guardians, allowing them access to the vault before reinforcements could arrive.<ref>'''Bungie (2022/12/6)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Seraph]] - [[Heist Battlegrounds|Heist Battleground]]: [[Heist Battleground: Mars|Mars]]''</ref>

Following another humiliation at the hands of the Guardians, Kelgorath brought himself to a broken court of the High Celebrant where he would be taunted by the wizard, [[Rakthrin]], a member of Xivu Arath's War-Council. Remembering how he once served the Witch Queen, Rakthrin mocked him on how he could've found greatness had he still served the Witch Queen even as she turned over to the Light which angered Kelgorath who refused, wishing to continue his service to Xivu Arath with renewed vigor. Pleased with this, Rakthrin used her magic to crack the court's altar, revealing an emerald sliver of a blade, a piece of the Taken King's very own sword. Transfixed on the blade shard, Kelgorath agreed to Rakthrin's union, thereby allowing himself to be Taken.<ref>'''Bungie (2023/5/23)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Deep]], Item Description: [[Thin Precipice]]''</ref>
