Along with the curse of a ravenous Worm, Savathûn had placed a second curse on her son. This curse was that of great insight and the ability to transcend the boundaries of fate to the point of weaving it. He earned the moniker of the Oracle, Ravenous due to his nature of insight and the hunger of his worm.

The Thrall would grow to become a Wizard and would be granted the name Anziluu by his mother, meaning abomination in the Hive tongue. Sometime prior to the defeat of the Ammonites, Anziluu would suffer his first death, and his soul would be if not the first to transcend into the Ascendant Plane. He noted how it was a realm molded by desire and willpower, claiming said power would become useful later on. He set upon himself to create the '''Realm of Apocrypha''', an ever-changing domain that shifts based off of fate.

He set upon himself to create the '''Realm of Apocrypha''', an ever-changing and shifting domain with each new piece of information that Anziluu collects and catalogues.   
 
===Influenced from Within===
It was Anziluu that decreed the destruction of the Qugu civilization, knowing all to well that the Mountain that the Qugu were in fact living around a dormant Pyramid that had been left on Seht an untold age before the Hive's arrival. He desired to use an estranged tactic of using overwhelming force, one that would be used in later conquests by Xivu Arath, by opening a massive rift over Seht and sent a massive fleet of Hive ships. As the Hive forces invaded Seht from the sky, Anziluu sought whatever knowledge the Qugu had as he noticed and would catalogue their usage of the Darkness in communions with the Pyramid. With this newfound knowledge, he entered one of these communions of the Qugu elders, slaughtering them all and implanting a disease upon the jaw-beasts that would lead to a swift extinction of not only the jaw-beasts but the Qugu civilization as a whole.


Anziluu was present as one of the conspirators who despised the Hive progenitors for showing weakness to their kin, knowing that his plan against the Qugu weakened Savathûn's flank against Auryx. He would eventually watch as Auryx slew his mother and Xivu Arath, using their collective power to kill Akka, commune with the Deep and ascending as Oryx, the Taken King. He watched as he tricked the Ecumene, slaughtering them with the powers of the Deep and using said trickery to conjure Savathûn back from death. He would help with the creation of the new tithe system for Oryx, who had taken the idea for himself. Anziluu had Oryx construct this tithe system with a great weakness, without the source of tithes, the Taken King would become weak.

Line 43: Line 45:
Eventually, Oryx would Take and gift the Blade Transform to Savathûn. As she used Quria to funnel power into a black hole, Anziluu also used the Dreaming Mind to contemplate an answer, however, the answer was beyond what the Mind could even predict, only telling him that whatever he sought could be found when the time was right. However, he wouldn't leave the Dreaming Mind without learning from it. He saw that the Mind emulated the powers of Oryx by creating a perfect simulation of the Taken King. He devised that the Mind itself could not Take nor did it have power in itself, but it could create said power. Eventually, through much effort, he learned to commune with the Deep from the Dreaming Mind and use the power for his own schemes.

Using the power he learned from Quria, he would finally make a communion with the voice behind the Deep, the Witness. He proclaimed it was a gestalt being with many faces and speaks with familiar voices, but spoke to him in its one true self. He proclaimed he would be its servant, explaining his prophetic future of the Hive, something that he believed the Witness could use and manipulate to its own whims. He decreed that he would follow the wishes of the Witness, but explained that in order to further their plans, their allegiances would have to waver between the Witch and the Disciples.

However his words were but half truths as he knew the threat that the Witness would pose if it enacted the Final Shape. He proclaimed that the universe was a violent stream of untapped knowledge and truth, from which he would later discover it to be the Weave of Fate, which likely is the same as the Weave from which Strand originates but is instead the very foundations from which mind and matter exists along the '''Timeline'''. He would seek to preserve it within his throne world and established the Cult of Anziluu to preserve and protect it.  


Around this time he would also create his twin daughters, Xaniith and Kamuul. He would command his Daughters to assist Quria in examining the Ecumene's Black Hole and to further the plans of Savathûn and her own research. The Mind and his daughters would construct the Abhorrent Singularity, a dimension that resides within a Black Hole that exists outside of the material and Ascendant Plane. Anziluu would use the singularity as a place to conduct his experiments where he dared not to unleash chaos into Apocrypha.

===Deimos' Veil===
===Deimos' Veil===
Whether during the Golden Age, Collapse or Dark Age, Anziluu's forces would invade the Martian moon, Deimos, overtaking it and converting it into a breeding ground and pseudo-War moon. Anziluu would also have his Hive construct a [[Ascendant Portal|Rupture]] deep below Deimos that connects to his realm of Apocrypha. He would also learn of an [[Forum:The Deimian Pyramid|ancient]] [[Pyramid]] that was left abandoned deep below the chasms of Deimos at an unknown point in time.

During the Dark Age, Cabal forces of an unknown detachment would invade Deimos and attempt to seize it from the Hive. This assault against the Cult led to a near-total loss of their forces when Anziluu himself appeared on the battlefield and slaughtered the Cabal to satiate his hunger. The Cabal would be forced into a retreat, leaving their bases barren and open to the Hive, which would in turn lead to the expungement of the detachment from all Cabal records. Anziluu would have his Hive invade the barren Cabal bases on Deimos and plunder them of Cabal secrets. Unknown to most, the Cabal were so entirely evicerated by Anziluu's forces to the point that Anziluu himself would erase the battle against the Cabal and the existence of the Legion from the Weave of Fate.

Following the successful battle against the Cabal, Anziluu would craft ancient tomes of knowledge called the '''Chronicles of Fate''' which detailed events throughout space and even time. These tomes however would drive any unsuspecting readers into an inevitable servitude to Anziluu. These subjugated would be known as the '''Scribes of Anzû''', being named after one of Anziluu's aliases.

===Echoes of Io===
===Echoes of Io===
Anziluu would eventually set his eyes onto Io, the last place the Traveler had graced with its Light before retreating to Earth. He would send hordes of Taken to the Jovian moon to sequester any remnant Light. With his knowledge of navigating the Ascendant Planes, studies of Quria and experiments within the Abhorrent Singularity, Anziluu would successfully create a pocket within the Ascendant Plane from which he could command and send forth Hive and Taken to Io and so that he could keep a constant watch on the Jovian moon.
He would watch as the forces of the [[Red Legion]] also sought out the remnant Light from Io and would strike at them with great force. While the Taken forces weren't able to push the Cabal back from the rifts into the Ascendant pocket, Anziluu knew that he could learn from the Cabal in this way. He understood that the Cabal learned how to take the Light from their own battles against Oryx and his Taken. When a band of Guardians arrived on the moon to stop the Cabal's efforts of taking the Ionian Light, Anziluu instructed some of Quria's Taken to implode the moon by fully corrupting its core with Blight. The Guardians would eventually prevail against the Taken, stopping Anziluu's plans of imploding Io.
Anziluu was not done with Io however, as he sought more information from both the [[Pyramidion]] and the [[Warmind Vault JYS-2|Warmind Vault]]. He would first send the Taken towards the Warmind Vault to scour any intel around [[Rasputin]]. As the Guardians would venture into the Warmind Vault to obtain intel on the [[Almighty]], they would come across the forces of the [[Modular Upsilon]], one of Anziluu's Taken Minotaurs, and swiftly put an end to the Hive Prince's plans with the Warmind.
In order to access the Pyramidion without earning the eyre of the Vex, Anziluu sought to Take the Vex by using the Blights across Io and use said Blights and Taken to invade the Vex Network from the Pyramidion. He would employ [[Ir Arok, Tongue of Quria|Ir Arok]], a servant of Quria, to corrupt the Vex by entangling and short circuiting the Vex within Blights and consuming them in the Darkness to Take them. While his efforts were not in vein due to the Guardian's interfering by destroying the Blights and ending Ir Arok, Anziluu was however able to push some of the Taken into the Network and the Pyramidion.
===Scarlet Inquisition===
It was believed that Malkanth knew of the one trick conceived by Anziluu that would become the failure of Hive's tribute system and therefore the Sword Logic. This drew the attention of Anziluu who would secretly teach her of the heretical art of the [[Inquisition of Self]] to transfer the essence of a Hive into a new vessel. Unbeknownst to Malkanth, he knew what she planned to do with the ritual and the consequences and ruin that would follow, withholding it from the aspiring cultist.
As they conducted the ritual and transferred the essence of [[Akrazul, the Severed]] into [[Ir Airâm, Deathsinger|Azavath]], the mighty Knight now Wizard was driven into a frenzy by the whispers of Savathûn and slaughtered Malkanth. He would withhold her essence to be judged upon by the Witch Queen. He would watch as Akrazul massacred the Hive of the pit and the Daughters of Crota slaughtering any contenders for leadership above.
===Interfering the Interference===
Shortly before the arrival of the Black Fleet, Anziluu would construct a small pocket of the Ascendant Plane with the assistance of Quria. He would use this plane as a distraction from his mother's interference, keep the Guardians from understanding the Witness' communications and to personally Take them in order to survive what was inevitably to come.
Shortly after the Guardians understood the Witness' first message, Drifter believed that it was an opportune time to collect more Taken for his [[Gambit]], detecting a massive insurgence of them coming from a portal leading to the [[Forum:Witch's Entropy (location)|Witch's Entropy]]. He would send a fireteam of Guardians to investigate and colllect the Taken, against the wishes of [[Eris Morn]] who saw these Taken as a threat to understanding the Black Fleet. Anziluu would instruct two of his commanders, the [[Forum:High Celebrant of Anziluu|High Celebrant of Anziluu]] and the [[Forum:The Ravenous Eye|Ravenous Eye]] to trap and claim the Guardians for Anziluu to Take.
The Guardians would cut through the Taken of Anziluu and his commanders, deeply angering Anziluu to the point of sending one of his [[Forum:Echo of Anziluu|Echoes]] to personally see to the Taking of the Guardians. They would however successfully trap the Echo within one of the outfitted Gambit [[Bank (Gambit)|Bank]]s, stopping Anziluu's efforts for his own interference of the Black Fleet and actions of his mother.
