'''Shin'ra, the Sorrow Maker''' is a [[Hive]] [[Knight]] and founder of the element known as [[Forum:Corruption (element)|Corruption]]. Acting as the Hive's weapons master, he commands a [[Forum:Weavers of Sorrow|Hive Brood]] devoted to his craft of the [[Weapons of Sorrow]]. He also possesses untold power over the [[Darkness]] and the [[Black Fleet]] through the creation of [[Forum:Corruption (element)|Corruption]]. He acts as a reoccurring antagonist in [[Destiny 2]] and is most notable for his major roles in [[Forum:Season of Sorrow|Season of Sorrow]], [[Season of the Wish]] and [[Into the Light (update)|Into the Light]], along with minor roles in [[Season of the Deep]] and [[Season of the Witch]].  

When the Osmium King reached the end of his ten-year lifespan, Setak sought to study his madness by navigating the royal orrery and understand the words of the dead [[Worm]] familiar. He would fall into the influence of the same lies of [[The Witness|the Witness]], believing that a great cataclysm would befall the Fundament, the Syzygy. Though he had been driven mad by the whispers of the worm familiar, he would still assist the Osmium daughters by readying the craft that they would escape on. Shortly thereafter, Setak would flee from the Osmium Court towards Kaharn Atoll to find the means to escape the Fundament.  

Prior to the Hive's emergence in the Fundament, Setak would reach the end of his ten year lifespan and had grown senile, much like the Osmium King before. Called a mad hermit by those at Kaharn, he still held onto what little remained of his sanity, believing that there was still a fragment of hope left for his people to survive.

Fully under the thrall of the Hive God, Acaeleon would instigate a galactic scale civil war in the Nadheal home system. Their various colonies burned and destroyed and their capital in ruins with all that remained of their civilization forced to live on large cruisers for survival. Even under the control of Shin'ra, Acaeleon doubted his own actions and the destruction of his people. His doubt invoked Kuldax to appear before him, declaring that he was unworthy of the power he sought to gift. He would then stab the weakened Nadheal with his blackened blade, and the power of the Hige corruption spread throughout his body, leaving it as a shriveling corpse. Shin'ra would have his followers destroy any that remained of the Nadheal people, including their home world.

Shin'ra would be present in the Hive's war against the [[Harmony]], destroying their many vessels and successfully conquering their Wishful Bishops compared to Xivu Arath who struggled against them. When Oryx toppled the [[Gift Mast]] and offered its pieces to his broods, Shin'ra would take one of these fragments for study. He would use the fragment as a basis for what would later be known as the '''[[Weapons of Sorrow]]''', while the shard itself would become known as the ''Lucent Armament'', the basis for the Weapons of Sorrow's antithesis, the ''Weapons of Hope''.

*It is possible that the Shin'ra himself is one of the [[Disciples of the Witness|Disciples]] of [[The Witness|the Witness]] due to his strong connection and influence with the [[Black Fleet]] as seen with the [[Forum:Shackled Tormentor|shac]][[Forum:Shackled Subjugator|kled]] [[Forum:Shackled Evocator|servants]] of the Witness.
