"He is that which is an end. And he shall rise again."
Nezarec's Sin description[1]

Nezarec is an Disciple of unknown origin that previously followed the Witness; however, his existence was largely kept an enigma except in the Warlock helmet Nezarec's Sin and the Glaive Nezarec's Whisper.[1][2] In Season of Plunder, it is also implied that Nezarec is the one speaking in the description of the Delicate Tomb Exotic Fusion Rifle.[3]

Biography

Pre-Golden Age

The description of Nezarec's Whisper implies that Nezarec was anointed by Rhulk as a new Disciple at some point in the past. The lore tab of the weapon reveals that Eris Morn found the blade within a chamber of The Lunar Pyramid, covered in centuries of dust. This alongside the cutscene in Season of Plunder hints at the idea that Nezarec was the original Disciple that controlled that Pyramid and was the owner of the glaive.[2] [4]

Nezarec is described in a pre-Golden Age text titled "Of Hated Nezarec", in which he is described as "the final god of pain". The text states that he will one day rise again, implying that he may either return to life at some point or that he is not actually gone, but that death interacts with Nezarec in the same way that it interacts with Ahamkara, in which the subject can persist after the death of the body.[1] The origin and age of this text is unknown, aside from that it predates the Golden Age.

Collapse

During the Collapse, Nezarec led the Black Fleet in its assault against humanity, with his Pyramid becoming stranded on the Moon when the Traveler made its last stand against the Fleet.[4]

City Age

The Drifter claims to have visited a place called "The Fourth Tomb of Nezarec" in Jovian space.[5]

Season of Plunder

It is revealed in Season of Plunder that Nezarec's corpse was discovered aboard the Lunar Pyramid by the Eliksni after their arrival in the Sol System. The Eliskni determined that Nezarec's body was a source of great power, and divided the corpse into pieces that they then distributed amongst themselves as talismans. These pieces were later stored within relics and hidden away across the galaxy. During the season, Eramis, Kell of Darkness seeked to collect all the relics under the order of The Witness.[4][6] Through her research on these relics, Eido, Daughter of Misraaks discovered a reference to the "Curse of Nezarec" in an ancient dirge. The curse is alleged to drain the life of the user, though its purpose is also unknown.

Ultimately, the Guardians gathered all the pieces of Nezarec before Eramis, and Mithrax was able to use them to create something useful: a special brew which was given to a comatose Osiris in the hopes that it would rouse him from his state. The brew worked as hoped as it helped Osiris finally awaken from his slumber.

Lightfall

During the campaign of Lightfall, Reports from Civil News in the city of Neomuna, citizens are experiencing widespread nightmares. The report goes on to state that one name has appeared in all of these nightmares, Nezarec. This implies that Nezarec is in fact alive.
