==Personality and Traits== | |||
As the Hive God of lies, cunning and trickery, Savathûn thrives on deceiving and outsmarting both her opponents and supposed allies. Nearly every word she speaks is calculated to misdirect and manipulate, and her true motivations at any given moment are shrouded by the web of rumors and false leads she spins about herself. Even during the one occasion on which she threw herself upon on the goodwill of her former enemies - [[Mara Sov]] and the [[Guardians]] - she spent her entire captivity toying with her benefactors until she was silenced. | |||
Despite serving the [[Worm Gods]] and the [[Darkness]] for eons, Savathûn has always displayed more skepticism and hesitancy about the righteousness of the Hive's cause than her siblings. Several of her most elaborate schemes have revolved around trying to rid herself and her Hive subjects of the burden imposed by their Worm symbiotes, such as her plot to use the [[Dreaming City]] (and subsequently the [[Distributary]]) as a "murder battery" to feed her Worm with less effort on her part. Given this and her inherently deceitful nature, it is perhaps unsurprising that she would eventually choose to betray the Darkness and actively work toward freeing herself from its influence by seeking the Light. | |||
===Relationships=== | |||
Little is known about Savathûn's true feelings or intentions towards anyone, including her own family. She would often come in contact with her brother's children, particularly his sons, notably being the reason behind [[Crota, Son of Oryx|Crota]]'s failed assault on the Vex and subsequent banishment. The Books of Sorrow infer she was not fond of her niece [[Ir Anûk, Deathsinger|Ir Anûk]]'s prowess in spellcasting and knowledge.<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Books_of_Sorrow#XXXVII:_shapes_:_points|Books of Sorrow XXXVII: shapes : points]]''</ref> After Oryx's death her nephew Nokris reached out to her and they entered a mutually beneficial partnership, Savathûn learning necromancy from Nokris and extending her protection over him in turn. | Little is known about Savathûn's true feelings or intentions towards anyone, including her own family.
