The history of the Witness is almost totally unknown. Contradictory statements from Savathûn claim both that the Witness was once a mortal creature whose race was empowered by either the [[Light]] or the Darkness and that the Witness itself birthed the Darkness; the latter statement is almost certainly a falsehood, as Savathûn in other contexts has described the Witness as a "child of the Darkness," and the Darkness has stated itself to have existed for eternity. What is known is that it has existed in the universe for eons, during which it has acted to further the aims of the [[Darkness]], or at least its own interpretations of them. At some point, the Witness devoted itself to pursuing the Traveler and bringing about the Final Shape. | The history of the Witness is almost totally unknown.

The Witness' origins may be connected to the mysterious [[paracausality|paracausal]] entity known as the [[The Veil|Veil]]; [[Nezarec]] describes the Veil as "the sapid secret of the Witness' first victims," suggesting that the Veil was involved somehow with the start of the Witness' crusade. | The Witness' origins may be connected to the mysterious [[paracausality|paracausal]] entity known as the [[The Veil|Veil]]; [[Nezarec]] describes the Veil as "the sapid secret of the Witness' first victims," suggesting that the Veil was involved somehow with the start of the Witness' crusade. | ||
