Following Xivu Arath's failure to prevent the exorcism of [[Savathûn's Worm]], the Taken would retreat and wouldn't be sighted outside of the Reef for some time. However, as the Guardian worked in investigating Savathûn's return to Mars and more importantly, her claiming of the Light, they would discover a [[Sunken Pyramid]] within the outskirts of the Witch Queen's Throne World. [[Mara Sov]], aiding the Guardians in their investigation, would inform them that the Pyramid belongs to a powerful servant of [[The Witness]], the supposed leader of the Black Fleet. This disciple, [[Rhulk]], would gain the service of Scorn, who wormed their way into [[Savathûn's Throne World]], in addition to the Taken, in his efforts to retaliate against the Witch Queen for betraying and imprisoning him within his own Pyramid.

The Guardians, forming a Raid team to prevent Rhulk from escaping his prison or using his superweapon, The Upended, infiltrate the Sunken Pyramid to eliminate Rhulk. As they traversed the Pyramid, Rhulk would send legions of his Scorn and Taken minions to stop them but despite their efforts, the Guardians reached the center of the Pyramid and confront The Witness's Disciple. After a grueling battle against Rhulk, despite being aided by his Taken and Scorn forces, the Guardians prevailed, leaving the Taken without a master, though the Scorn would continue in making raids on their master's ruptured Pyramid to claim the secrets within but would be thwarted by the Guardians.
