===Seeking the Throne===
Zulmak was a rising champion within the Pit beneath what would become the [[Scarlet Keep]], aspiring to take Oryx's throne through his own Sword Logic. Zulmak's quest to rise as the newest Hive [[Prince]] pitted him against multiple other Hive combatants in the Pit; Many that challenged him were met with overwhelming slaughter. His triumphs were only met with disappointment from the daughters of the [[Crota, Son of Oryx|World-Breaker]] himself, who see him as a threat to their [[Oryx, the Taken King|grandfather's]] legacy.  
{{Quote|In the Pit, Zulmak unleashes a battle cry. He is ready to be done with it all. He is ready to claim his crown.
 
Hashladûn considers him with disgust—he will never be a King, only ever a tool, blunt and brutal.
 
Should he be anointed as a champion of the Pit… Should he be crowned… the Daughters' plots will be threatened before they ever truly begin.|[[Lore:Inquisition of the Damned#X: Faith in Bone|X: Faith in Bone]]

After winning his third streak within the Pits, he became mutilated by the [[Deathsinger]] [[Ir Airâm, Deathsinger|Azavath]] (whose former body was now host to her crippled Knight brother [[Akrazul]].) in desecration of the Sword-Logic itself. With his body in dying grasp, Zulmak is met with whispers of the [[Savathûn, the Witch-Queen|Witch-Queen]] herself, who proceeded to take his essence from his broken body and gifted it to her grand-nieces to be raised as a champion yet bound to their will.

{{Quote|Their grandfather would not approve—cunning and deception were the path of another—but the Daughters were alone, and the Swarm was flailing. It was Kinox who urged her sisters to act. It was Hashladûn who offered the primordial essence of terror as their guide. And it was Besurith and Voshyr who gathered the husk of a shattered champion—a ravager to stand against all who would oppose their rule. A new breed of destroyer.|Lore text from [[Heretic]]}}
