{{Quote|Agents of the Black Fleet. Nezarec, Rhulk, even Calus — they were just the beginning.|Mara Sov.}}
'''The Dread'''<ref>'''Bungie''': ''[https://press.bungie.com/Destiny-2-The-Final-Shape-Brings-Prismatic-Subclass-New-Enemy-Faction-]''</ref> are an army of [[Darkness]]-powered entities created by the [[The Witness|Witness]] with its paracausal [[Pyramid]] technology of the [[Black Fleet]].
==History==
===Origin===
The Dread, specifically the Tormentors, would first be encountered during the [[Invasion of Neptune]], serving among the ranks of the [[Shadow Legion]], led by the newly appointed [[Disciples of the Witness|Disciple]], [[Emperor Calus]]. When the Guardian infiltrated the Cabal fleet, [[Kavauust, Reverent of the Witness]] would appear and briefly taunt the Guardian before teleporting away. Later, Kavauust would confront the Guardian once more and despite its formidable strength and Void suppressing abilities would be slain in a fierce battle.


The '''Dread''' are an enemy faction created by the [[The Witness|Witness]], first seen with the [[Tormentor]]s during the events of [[Lightfall]].
When the Guardian infiltrated the [[Typhon Imperator]] in an attempt to destroy the [[Radial Mast]], they would deposit Resonant energy and defeat a Tormentor to venture further into the ship. Later when the Guardian was sent to restore power to the [[CloudArk]], two Tormentors would lead their forces to ambush them once they had successfully restored the power. However, thanks to warnings from [[Nimbus]], the Guardian would be aware of their scheme and defeat them before using [[Strand]] to evacuate. Later, when the Guardian was sent to stop the Shadow Legion from creating a link using the mast, they would defeat an [[Imprint of Nezarec]] to make their way closer to the location of the Radial Mast, which would ultimately be destroyed due to the heroic sacrifice of [[Rohan]].


==History==
As the Shadow Legion would begin sending Taken into the [[Vex Network]] to breach the CloudArk, [[Toniq, Imprint of Nezarec]] would be tasked with guarding the Blight. However they would meet resistance from a fireteam of Guardians, who would slay them and enter the Vex Network to purge the Taken infestation. Taking matters into his own hands, Calus would lead his forces to assault the [[Veil Containment]] site. Upon confronting the Guardian, Calus would bring forth multiple Tormentors to his aid. Despite the immense paracausal power he now possessed, the former Emperor of the Cabal would meet his end to the Guardian. However the [[The Witness|Witness]] would possess the Guardian's Ghost, and use him to create a link between the Traveler and the Veil. It would then create and enter a portal into the [[The Pale Heart|Pale Heart]], beginning its plans for the [[Final Shape]].

The Dread[1] are an army of Darkness-powered entities created by the Witness with its paracausal Pyramid technology of the Black Fleet.

History

Origin

The Dread, specifically the Tormentors, would first be encountered during the Invasion of Neptune, serving among the ranks of the Shadow Legion, led by the newly appointed Disciple, Emperor Calus. When the Guardian infiltrated the Cabal fleet, Kavauust, Reverent of the Witness would appear and briefly taunt the Guardian before teleporting away. Later, Kavauust would confront the Guardian once more and despite its formidable strength and Void suppressing abilities would be slain in a fierce battle.

When the Guardian infiltrated the Typhon Imperator in an attempt to destroy the Radial Mast, they would deposit Resonant energy and defeat a Tormentor to venture further into the ship. Later when the Guardian was sent to restore power to the CloudArk, two Tormentors would lead their forces to ambush them once they had successfully restored the power. However, thanks to warnings from Nimbus, the Guardian would be aware of their scheme and defeat them before using Strand to evacuate. Later, when the Guardian was sent to stop the Shadow Legion from creating a link using the mast, they would defeat an Imprint of Nezarec to make their way closer to the location of the Radial Mast, which would ultimately be destroyed due to the heroic sacrifice of Rohan.

As the Shadow Legion would begin sending Taken into the Vex Network to breach the CloudArk, Toniq, Imprint of Nezarec would be tasked with guarding the Blight. However they would meet resistance from a fireteam of Guardians, who would slay them and enter the Vex Network to purge the Taken infestation. Taking matters into his own hands, Calus would lead his forces to assault the Veil Containment site. Upon confronting the Guardian, Calus would bring forth multiple Tormentors to his aid. Despite the immense paracausal power he now possessed, the former Emperor of the Cabal would meet his end to the Guardian. However the Witness would possess the Guardian's Ghost, and use him to create a link between the Traveler and the Veil. It would then create and enter a portal into the Pale Heart, beginning its plans for the Final Shape.
