Following the arrival of the [[Black Fleet]] and the sudden disappearance of the [[Savathûn, the Witch-Queen|Witch Queen]], Xivu Arath sought to establish a foothold in the [[Sol System]] in her sister's absence with the aid of her [[High Celebrant of Xivu Arath|High Celebrant]].<ref>'''Bungie (2020/11/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Hunt]] - [[Trail of the Hunted]]''</ref> Acting as her envoy, the Celebrant summoned Hive structures known as [[Cryptolith]]s from the [[Ascendant Realm]] across the system to deploy an army of Wrathborn from across dimensions and corrupt a new army from the forces of the Fallen, Cabal, and renegade Hive.<ref>'''Bungie (2020/11/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Hunt]], [[Weblore:Season of the Hunt#Immolant Pt. 2|Immolant Pt. 2]]''</ref>

They were majorly rampant across the [[Tangled Shore]] and the [[Dreaming City]] in tandem with the events on [[Europa]]. Their threat was challenged by [[Guardians]] working with [[Crow]], "[[Osiris]]" and the [[Spider]] to draw them out of the Cryptoliths and hunt them down.<ref>'''Bungie (2020/11/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Hunt]] - [[Wrathborn Hunts]]''</ref> The High Celebrant was ultimately caught and eliminated in a final hunt by the  Guardians and the Crow, driving back the Hive God's advance upon the Sol System for a brief period.<ref>'''Bungie (2020/11/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Hunt]] - [[Coup de Grâce]]''</ref>

Later, they would be deployed to the Dreaming City by Xivu Arath who was seeking retaliation against her sister, who was held captive by the [[Awoken]]. Large numbers of Wrathborn along with forces of [[Taken]] and [[Scorn]] would form a collective assault on the City through the Ley Lines and the [[Ascendant Realm]], seeking to capture Savathûn.<ref>'''Bungie (2021/8/24)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Lost]] - [[mission]]''</ref>

A year later, Xivu Arath again used the Wrathborn to attack [[Rasputin]]'s vaults across the System; a majority of those used in these assaults were created from the surviving remains of the [[House of Salvation]] that, along with [[Once-Phyris, the Exhumed Tether|some]] [[Praksis the Defiled|members]] being brought back as Scorn, to punish [[Eramis, Kell of Darkness]] for her repeated failures in Sol.<ref>'''Bungie (2022/12/6)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Seraph]] - [[Hierarchy]]''</ref><ref>'''Bungie (2022/12/6)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Seraph]] - [[Heist Battleground: Moon]]''</ref><ref>'''Bungie (2022/12/6)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Seraph]] - [[Operation: Seraph's Shield]]''</ref>

After the reappearance of [[Titan (moon)| Titan]], after the moon was previously [[Taken]] by [[The Witness]], [[Commander Zavala]] alongside [[The Guardian]], [[Saladin Forge]], and [[Saint-14]] would arrive on [[The Rig]] after receiving a distress signal from [[Sloane|Deputy Commander Sloane]]. They would successfully defeat the forces of [[Xivu Arath, God of War|Xivu Arath]] and meet up with Sloane, who was now partially Taken after almost being claimed by the will of the God of War but was saved by an ancient enemy of the [[The Witness|Witness]] known as [[Ahsa]], who she established a connection with.<ref>'''Bungie (2023/5/22)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Deep]] - [[The Descent (mission)|The Descent]]''</ref> [[The Guardian]] would work with Sloane to strengthen their connection to learn more about the Witness, hunting and defeating the [[Fallen Wrathborn|Wrathborn Servitor]], [[J4W-S, Wrath-Hunter Servitor]].<ref>'''Bungie (2023/5/22)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Deep]] - [[Operation Thunderbolt (Twilight)]]''</ref>

 

 

According to Savathûn (who was posing as Osiris at the time), the Wrathborn are perverted by Xivu Arath's magic beyond recognition that they are neither considered Hive, Fallen nor Cabal.<ref>'''Bungie (2020/11/17)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Hunt]], [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZkN2lLG0_8 Wrathborn Hunt (Tangled Shore) {{!}} Osiris: "Xivu Arath's magic has perverted these creatures"]''</ref> One of the first Wrathborn Cabal was shown to have mutated abnormally given time; with its [[Cabal Severus|Severus]] cleavers fused to its hands and bladed tendril mutations growing out of its back and stomach.<ref>'''Bungie (2020/11/17)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Hunt]]'', ''Item Description: [[Wild Hunt Armor (Hunter)#Wild Hunt Strides|Wild Hunt Strides]]''</ref> An Eliksni Wrathborn was transformed by a Cryptolith to have her docked arms regrown, Ether thickly glowing and her skin splitting as her muscles expanded beyond her body's confines as it underwent constant molting and regrowth.<ref name="Unmade"/> They also aid in the creation of more Cryptoliths by planting their own grown tendrils into a shrine of black twisted spines, which are kept grown with the bodies of victims impaled upon their apex of crowns.<ref>'''Bungie (2020/11/17)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Hunt]]'', ''Item Description: [[Wild Hunt Armor (Hunter)#Wild Hunt Cloak|Wild Hunt Cloak]]''</ref> Under Xivu Arath's influence, the Wrathborn are mentally stripped of everything beyond an innate desire to kill before the Cryptoliths remake their bodies into the monstrosities they are now.<ref name="Unmade">'''Bungie (2020/11/17)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Hunt]]'', ''[[Lore]]: [[Lore:Call of the Cryptolith|Call of the Cryptolith]] - [[Lore:Call of the Cryptolith#VIII.

Additionally, Savathûn (while posing as Osiris) also noted the roles Wrathborn Fallen and Cabal had. Fallen Wrathborn, with their mobility, serve greatly for reconnaissance.<ref name="WrathbornPsions">'''Bungie (2020/11/17)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Hunt]], [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DOzGY63AV3Q Wrathborn Hunt (Tangled Shore) {{!}} Osiris: "Ceremonial dives into the Deep"]''</ref> The size and strength of the Cabal made them prime candidates for Throne Guards or beasts of conquest for [[Knight]]s to feed upon.<ref>'''Bungie (2020/11/17)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Hunt]], [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WN8OwjYOXAM Wrathborn Hunt (Tangled Shore) {{!}} Crow: "Have the Cabal formed a Resistance to the Cryptoliths?"]''</ref> [[Psion]]s corrupted by the Cryptolith would be brought into Wizard courts to serve as psychic lodestones for ceremonial dives into [[Darkness|the Deep]].<ref name="WrathbornPsions"/>

*Similar to how some among the Hive would beg to be Taken<ref>''[https://www.ishtar-collective.net/items/take-the-wanted-6 Take the Wanted 6]''</ref>, some of Xivu's Hive would offer themselves to become Wrathborn.<ref>'''Bungie (2020/11/17)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Hunt]], [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fYr-atkmGZI Wrathborn Hunt (Dreaming City) {{!}} Crow: "How Could Xivu Arath Do This to Her Own?"]''</ref>
