When the Daughters' efforts at resurrecting Crota and Oryx proved in vain, [[Kinox]] saw an opportunity to rally the [[Hidden Swarm]] by reanimating the deceased Zulmak as their puppet champion, with Hashladûn offering the phantasmal essence of the [[Nightmares]] as a catalyst to infuse into Zulmak's husk, creating the first hybrid of an undead Hive and a Nightmare.<ref name= Heretic></ref> | When the Daughters' efforts at resurrecting Crota and Oryx proved in vain, [[Kinox]] saw an opportunity to rally the [[Hidden Swarm]] by reanimating the deceased Zulmak as their puppet champion, with Hashladûn offering the phantasmal essence of the [[Nightmares]] as a catalyst to infuse into Zulmak's husk recovered by [[Besurith]] and [[Voshyr]], creating the first hybrid of an undead Hive and a Nightmare.<ref name= Heretic></ref> | ||
With the deaths of [[Hashladûn, Daughter of Crota|Hashladûn]] and [[Besurith, Daughter of Crota|Besurith]] at the hands of the [[Guardians]], the remaining daughters, [[Kinox]] and [[Voshyr]], went into hiding in the Pit beneath the [[Scarlet Keep]]. Out of desperation, the Hive began [[Altars of Sorrow|sacrificing]] [[Nightmare]]s to harvest their phantasmal essence into a crystal to empower Zulmak with its [[Darkness]] and face the Guardians. Their actions created seismic activity however, that drew the [[Guardians]]' attention into the Pit, where they confronted the undead Zulmak.
