===Subjugation to the Witness===
At some point the [[Disciples of the Witness|Disciple]] known as [[Rhulk, Disciple of the Witness|Rhulk]] desired the power of the worms on behalf of his master, the [[The Witness|Witness]], which he would delve into the depths of the gas giant to find them; meeting and grievously injuring the Leviathan in the process.<ref>'''Bungie (2022/2/22)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[The Witch Queen]] - Armor lore: [[Resonant Fury Suit (Titan)#Resonant Fury Gauntlets|Resonant Fury Gauntlets]]''</ref> Upon meeting the emaciated Xita and her kin, Rhulk offered her kind a deal to serve as chattel for his master in exchange for providing a [[Hive|race]] of hosts for her spawn to feed as sustenance; giving their kind a purpose in aid of their [[Final Shape|righteous cause]]. The Worm mother capitulated to his demands as he abducts her out of their prison; earning him the respect of all the worms addressing him as "Subjugator". <ref>'''Bungie (2022/2/22)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[The Witch Queen]] - Armor lore: [[Resonant Fury Suit (Titan)#Resonant Fury Helm|Resonant Fury Helm]]''</ref>

Despite the Subjugator's earlier claims to be on his master's behalf, it was apparent to Xita that Rhulk had only sought the worms out of his own personal desire for domination and was constantly chided by the Witness for stepping out of line. The Disciple would fulfill his earlier deal to the Worm mother and engineered from her body a parasitic strain of living worm segments, their so-called "larvae", which could be implanted into a host and give them access to the Sword Logic. He would then set those parasitic larvae adrift on Fundament's ocean, eager to reach the shores of the [[Osmium Court|Osmium Kingdom]].<ref>'''Bungie (2022/2/22)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[The Witch Queen]] - Armor lore: [[Resonant Fury Suit (Titan)#Resonant Fury Greaves|Resonant Fury Greaves]]''</ref>
