Biography

According to the lore book: Inquisition of the Damned, Zulmak was a champion within the pit underneath the Scarlet Keep, aspiring to take Oryx's throne through his own sword logic, he was defeated by Azavath, the Suffer Queen of an Ever-Rising Swarm. This was a defiance to The Sword Logic and his resurrection the very same. It is stated in said lorebook that Zulmak's quest to aspiring pitted him against multiple other Hive.

Gameplay

Trivia

  • Zulmak bears a striking appearance to that of Urrox, Flame Prince and Kandorak as well as the Swordbearers in Crota's Oversoul Throne.
    • This could mean that Zulmak may be a Swordbearer who grew in size and might to how he is right now through The Sword Logic.
      • Due to the fact that many of his servants bear the title of "...of the Broken Blade," it could be inferred that he is also a Blade of Crota.
  • Both Zulmak and Dûl Incaru, the Eternal Return use an unknown crystal during both of their boss encounters. There is also another crystal in Titan that is similar and size and also possesses paranormal abilities comparable to the former two. It is unknown whether these crystals bear any canon importance.
