'''Shin'ra, the Sorrow Maker''' is a [[Hive]] [[Knight]] and founder of the element known as [[Forum:Corruption (element)|Corruption]]. Acting as the Hive's weapons master, he commands a [[Forum:Weavers of Sorrow|Hive Brood]] devoted to his craft of the [[Weapons of Sorrow]]. He also possesses untold power over the [[Darkness]] and the [[Black Fleet]] through the creation of [[Forum:Corruption (element)|Corruption]]. He acts as a reoccurring antagonist in [[Destiny 2]] and is most notable for his major roles in [[Forum:Season of Sorrow|Season of Sorrow]], [[Season of the Wish]] and [[Into the Light (update)|Into the Light]], along with minor roles in [[Season of the Deep]] and [[Season of the Witch]].  

When the Osmium King reached the end of his ten-year lifespan, Setak sought to study his madness by navigating the royal orrery and understand the words of the dead [[Worm]] familiar. He would fall into the influence of the same lies of [[The Witness|the Witness]], believing that a great cataclysm would befall the Fundament, the Syzygy. Though he had been driven mad by the whispers of the worm familiar, he would still assist the Osmium daughters by readying the craft that they would escape on. Shortly thereafter, Setak would flee from the Osmium Court towards Kaharn Atoll to find the means to escape the Fundament.  

Prior to the Hive's emergence in the Fundament, Setak would reach the end of his ten year lifespan and had grown senile, much like the Osmium King before. Called a mad hermit by those at Kaharn, he still held onto what little remained of his sanity, believing that there was still a fragment of hope left for his people to survive.

After the events of Season of Sorrow, the [[Vanguard]] would classify Shin'ra as '''SMS-000''' and a potential threat to Hive reunification following the excommunication of Savathûn from the rest of the Hive. Eris Morn would even consider him to be a potential threat to the Taken Throne and a rival to Xivu Arath herself.
