When word of Oryx's death in the [[Taken War]] reached Rhulk, the Subjugator observed Savathûn building a palace within her domain as he relayed word of her brother's immediate [[King's Fall|demise]]. Having immediately suspected her of playing a role in the Taken King's permanent death, Rhulk nonetheless offers condescending commendation for having outlived Oryx and seizing his secrets of [[Taken|Taking]] as spoils. Savathûn smugly denies Rhulk any straight answers but the latter warns her that Oryx's death now placed a target on her by the god-slaying [[Guardians]], without the presence of her brother to shelter her in the shadows. She instantly rebukes Rhulk's words having nothing to fear from her exposure, showing no restraint in her expression.<ref name="Resonant Fury Boots">'''Bungie (2022/2/22)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[The Witch Queen]] - [[Armor|Armor lore]]: [[Resonant Fury Suit (Warlock)#Resonant Fury Boots|Resonant Fury Boots]]''</ref> | When word of Oryx's death in the [[Taken War]] reached Rhulk, the Subjugator observed Savathûn building a palace within her domain as he relayed word of her brother's immediate [[King's Fall|demise]].

Savathûn’s true allegiance is revealed as she betrayed the Witness and Rhulk attempting to [[Interference|interfere]] with the former’s [[Lore:The Singular Exegete|transmissions]] to the [[Guardian]]s on [[Io]], triggered by the [[arrival of the Black Fleet]]. After she hid within the [[Last City]] for a year and her subsequent rebirth in the Light, Rhulk would retaliate with the destruction of her throne world, only to have his attempt with the Upended thwarted. He was then trapped within his [[Sunken Pyramid|Pyramid]], now sunken in the swamps of [[Miasma]] and blocked off from the rest of the realm thanks to her usage of the [[Wellspring]].<ref name="Resonant Fury Bond">'''Bungie (2022/2/22)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[The Witch Queen]] - [[Armor|Armor lore]]: [[Resonant Fury Suit (Warlock)#Resonant Fury Bond|Resonant Fury Bond]]''</ref> During his imprisonment, Rhulk had summoned the [[Scorn]] to the throne world as his army to fight the Witch Queen's new [[Lucent Brood|Lucent Hive]]. This resulted in an ongoing attrition war for the throne world itself, which was further complicated with the addition of the [[Guardians]] of the [[Last City]]. Rhulk also began conducting experiments with the undead Scorn, making them more powerful with Worm larvae in combination with Hive resonant runes. The cumulation of his work would be [[The Caretaker]], a massive [[Abomination]] successfully fused with a worm larva and armed with [[Pyramid]] resonant technology.<ref name="Report: PYRAMID-INSPECT">'''Bungie (2022/2/22)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[The Witch Queen]] - [[Lore]]: [https://www.ishtar-collective.net/interactions/evidence-board-report-pyramid-inspect-2 Evidence Board — Report: PYRAMID-INSPECT]''</ref> | |||
At one point during Rhulk's detainment, one of the [[Hive]] [[Ghost]]s had drifted into the Pyramid and encountered the disciple, who was immediately intrigued by its design and function. After a while of talking with it and plotting to pry its shell for secrets of the [[Traveler]], the Ghost would be possessed by someone Rhulk identified as the Adversary (presumably the Traveler itself). The Ghost was destroyed in an blinding explosion of Light and reduced to scrap, denying Rhulk its secrets.<ref name="Imperious Sun Shell">'''Bungie (2022/2/22)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[The Witch Queen]] - [[Ghost shell|Ghost shell lore]]: [[Imperious Sun Shell]]''</ref> | At one point during Rhulk's detainment, one of the [[Hive]] [[Ghost]]s had drifted into the Pyramid and encountered the disciple, who was immediately intrigued by its design and function.
