Gahlran, Sorrow-Bearer was a former member of Emperor Calus' Loyalists driven insane by the Crown of Sorrow and the main antagonist of the aforementioned raid.

Biography

Wanting a Shadow of the Hive in Calus' ranks, Gahlran was bred for the specific purpose of wielding an Ascendant Hive artifact, the Crown of Sorrow, and using its powers to control the Hive. The Crown, however, was a trap set by Savathûn, the Witch-Queen to infused Gahlran with viral language, and it made Gahlran lose his mind. As a result, the mad Cabal brought the Hive to infest the Leviathan, having taken the deepest treasure vaults. After the Guardian infiltrates his Kingdom of Sorrow, he confronts them and tries to defend himself with help from his Gahlran's Deception. Gahlran and his Deception are ultimately slain by the Raid fireteam.

Trivia

• Judging from the Lore tabs, Gahlran is merely a few hours old.
• Gahlran is the second individual from another race to command the Hive. The first being Hiraks, the Mindbender of the Scorn.
