Biography

Season of the Deep Spoilers

According to memories Ahsa shared with Deputy Commander Sloane, Ahsa is a member of the species that gave rise to the Worm Gods, in the same way that the Krill gave rise to the Hive. She and others of her species lived on Fundament, where they led a peaceful existence. However, at some point her people became seduced by the Witness' philosophy, and began attacking and killing one another in order to achieve ascendancy through the Sword Logic. Ahsa escaped the bloodbath and fled into space, pursuing the distant Traveler as it made its way across the universe. Her travels eventually led her to the Sol System, where she crashed into Titan and hid within its methane seas.

The Golden Age

Season of the Deep Spoilers

Records of Ahsa's existence on Titan date back to the Golden Age; her presence registered on subsurface scanning equipment, and she was a subject of study for several marine biologists stationed on Titan, who designated the creature as "TLev-01" in their reports. According to archival data accessed by Síocháin, the Ghost of Deputy Commander Sloane, Ahsa had been discovered by researchers to be intelligent and evidently capable of telepathy, and had attempted to communicate with several research station personnel, including Gideon Tepin.

The Collapse

Season of the Deep Spoilers

During the Collapse, Ahsa was attacked by Nezarec, but survived the encounter. At some point during the Collapse, she also lost an individual whom she had become psychically bonded with.

Red War

During the missions Utopia and Ace in the Hole, Ahsa's shadow can be seen on the windows surrounding the New Pacific Arcology's CPU core in the Festering Halls. The Ghost also mentions that the Arcology's sensors can detect a large object moving underneath The Rig, likely the same creature. Sloane can also be overheard in Siren's Watch talking about something below the waves, claiming that it wasn't her imagination. Guardians have also observed serpentine, finned creatures breaching the surface of Titan's oceans, which are likely Ahsa or other life-forms native to Titan.

During Season of Arrivals, the Drifter makes reference to "the long boy in the soup" when speaking to Eris Morn, likely referring to Ahsa, mistaking the creature's gender.

Season of the Deep

Season of the Deep Spoilers

After Titan was Taken by the Witness, Ahsa attempted to establish contact with Sloane, who had fallen into the methane ocean. She later came to Sloane's rescue when the Titan and her Ghost were about to be killed by a Knight of Xivu Arath. After Titan reappeared and Sloane re-established contact with the Vanguard, the Guardian and the Drifter worked together to strengthen Sloane's psychic connection to Ahsa using egregore harvested from the depths of the methane ocean. In doing so, they hoped that Ahsa might be able to communicate vital information about the Witness to Sloane.

Trivia

• Before Titan was moved to the Destiny Content Vault, if one went beyond the normally player-accessible areas of Titan and managed to see below the surface of the ocean, they could see massive finned wheel-shaped objects. These were seemingly intended to be the dorsal fins of Ahsa breaching the waves, as normally only the uppermost part of the wheels would be visible.
  • However, these same fins can also be seen in Savathûn's Throne World.
