| | Born as a [[Shadow]] candidate worthy of the [[Hive]] in Calus' ranks, Gahlran was bred for the specific purpose of wielding an [[Ascendant Hive]] artifact, the [[Crown of Sorrow]], and using its powers to command the Hive. The Crown, however, was a trap set by [[Savathûn, the Witch-Queen]] with the purpose of corrupting Calus to her will, and instead drove Gahlran insane. As a result, the mad Cabal brought the Hive to infest the Leviathan, having taken the deepest treasure vaults for their territory. |

However, his magic would prove ineffective against the [[Fireteam]] who used Savathûn's own magic against him.

| | |
| Gahlran's boss fight involves fighting Gahlran and two clones of him, with spawns of crystals, Blessed enemies, non-Blessed enemies, and Deceptions. When Deceptions spawn, they are surrounded by a shield. A Blessed and non-Blessed player must melee the Deception to stun it, preferably in the middle of the area it spawned, in front of Gahlran. Gahlran will then raise his hand, glowing green. If the hand is shot while glowing, he will bring down a cleaver and if it connects with the Deception, it will kill it. After 3 Deceptions are slain in this way, Gahlran and his clones will begin to channel energy between their hands and their crown. Players must shoot their hands to stop this channeling, or wipe. After damaging the hands, players can then damage the crown to reveal which Gahlran is real. Gahlran will then be damageable, periodically raising his hands to channel, which must be stopped to continue damaging him. If death is not delivered to Gahlran within the damage phase, the fight repeats the same mechanics from the start.
