| {{quote|[[Nezarec|He]] is that which is end. That which covets sin. The final god of pain—the purest light, the darkest hour. And He shall rise again. When the guiding shine fades and all seems lost He will call to you. Fear not. All He offers is not as dark as it may seem. For Nezarec is no demon, but a fiend, arch and vile in ways unknown. He is a path and a way, one of many. And his sin—so wicked, so divine—is that he will never cower when dusk does fall, but stand vigilant as old stars die and new [[Light]] blinks its first upon this fêted eternity.|Passage from ''Of Hated Nezarec''}} <ref>'''Bungie (2017/9/8)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Armor]] lore: [[Nezarec's Sin]]''</ref>

| The Acolytes of Nezarec have existed since long before the [[Golden Age]], with [[Mykel]]'s family having served him for many generations as of the post-[[Collapse]] era. The tome ''Of Hated Nezarec'', which predates the [[Golden Age]], was likely written by the Acolytes; [[Mykel]]'s family is known to have possessed a large leatherbound book describing Nezarec, presumably none other than ''Of Hated Nezarec'' itself.<ref name="Dream Demon"/> | | The Acolytes of Nezarec have existed since long before the [[Golden Age]], with [[Mykel]]'s family having served him for many generations as of the post-[[Collapse]] era.<ref>'''Bungie (2023/02/28)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Lightfall]] - Sparrow lore: [[Dream Demon]]''</ref> The tome ''Of Hated Nezarec'', which predates the Golden Age, was likely written by the Acolytes; [[Mykel]]'s family is known to have possessed a large leatherbound book describing Nezarec, presumably none other than ''Of Hated Nezarec'' itself. |
