Disciples of the Witness

"Not kings. Not gods. Disciples. Prophets. Saviors serving existence. An undying purpose. A privilege."

— Rhulk, the First Disciple

The Disciples of the Witness are a group of entities that follow the bidding of the aforementioned namesake and command its forces. Little is known about these beings, only that they are immensely powerful wielders of the Darkness hailing from a variety of species and backgrounds, are completely devoted to their leader's beliefs, and oppose the forces of The Coalition. One of them, Rhulk, was the master of his own Pyramid of the Black Fleet in Savathûn's Throne World, where he built the dark city of Harvest to serve as a breeding facility for Hive Worm larvae. However, when Savathûn, the Witch Queen betrayed the Darkness, Rhulk was trapped in his ship and became the effective leader of the Scorn, calling on them to punish her for her betrayal.

More recently, Calus, the disgraced and exiled former emperor of the Cabal Empire, was anointed as the newest of the Witness' Disciples. Nezarec was also revealed to have been a former Disciple in the distant past, where he lead the Black Fleet's first invasion on Earth during the Collapse.
