Savathûn was born Sathona, on the planet [[Fundament]]. She was one of a short-lived species whose homeworld had crashed into Fundament millions of years earlier, with the shards of the planet forming Fundament's continents. The [[Osmium Court]] was one such continent, ruled by the [[Osmium King]], and Sathona was his second-born daughter, older sister to [[Xivu Arath, God of War|Xi Ro]] and younger sister to [[Oryx, the Taken King|Aurash]]. The three sisters were tutored by [[Taox]], a sterile Mother, the proto-Hive morph capable of spawning children, which also allowed them to live longer by eating "Mother-jelly" at adulthood. The proto-Hive's harsh lives convinced Sathona at an early age to become a mother, not because she wanted children or feared dying, but because she wanted to live long enough to have meaning in her life.<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]], [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Books of Sorrow#V: Needle and Worm|V: Needle and Worm]]''</ref> | Savathûn was born Sathona, on the planet [[Fundament]].

The [[Osmium Court]] was one such continent, ruled by the [[Osmium King]], and Sathona was his second-born daughter of his final brood, older sister to [[Xivu Arath, God of War|Xi Ro]] and younger sister to [[Oryx, the Taken King|Aurash]].

However, by the time her father turned ten Fundament years (a lifetime by the standards of their species), he had discovered a dead [[Worm]] on the shores of the Osmium Court, which he started tending to it as a familiar, and began raving that the Syzygy, a prophesied disaster, would soon occur. While Aurash took her father's warnings to heart, Taox concluded that the King was falling to senility in his old age and that none of his daughters, which were two years old at the time, could properly rule the Osmium Court and protect it from the [[Helium Court]], a rival kingdom. While acknowledging that Sathona was a brilliant thinker, Taox noted that she could not fight. In desperation, Taox sent a message to the rulers of the Helium Court, the Helium Drinkers, saying that she would help them assassinate the King and his daughters if they installed her as their regent. The Helium Drinkers accepted Taox's proposal and attacked, killing the King but failing to kill his daughters. In the confusion, Sathona managed to steal her father's Worm in their escape. Reaching Aurash's ship, the three sisters made a blood oath to return and take vengeance, with Sathona vowing that she would become a mother and raise her spawn on the corpses of the Helium Drinkers.<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]], [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Books of Sorrow#III: The Oath|III: The Oath]]''</ref> | However, by the time her father turned ten Fundament years (a lifetime by the standards of their species), he had discovered a dead [[Worm]] on the shores of the Osmium Court, which he started tending to it as a familiar, and began raving that the Syzygy, a prophesied disaster, would soon occur.

Over the next year, the three sisters sailed the oceans of Fundament. During this time, Sathona began to hear her father's worm speak to her, guiding her to acts that would save the sisters over the year. Finally, the three sisters found a ship they named "the needle", built of high technology, but whose crew had died obscenely after hatching an egg from a creature that they could not recognize. Xi Ro insisted that they sell the ship at the Kaharn Atoll, where the species of Fundament gathered, saying that an auction could raise them enough money to hire mercenaries to fight the Helium Drinkers. However, Sathona told Xi Ro that the ship was worthless. Aurash instead suggested that they repair the ship. With prompting from the Worm, Sathona agreed with Aurash and convinced Xi Ro to repair the ship.<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]], [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Books of Sorrow#V: Needle and Worm|V: Needle and Worm]]''</ref> | Over the next year, the three sisters sailed the oceans of Fundament.

Over the next two years, the sisters repaired the needle, but by this point, the sisters were five years old. Sathona raised her fears that she would soon be too old to eat mother-jelly, and that the sisters would be unable to fulfill their oath. Aurash said that the sisters had to dive beneath the oceans of Fundament, traveling to the planet's core. Xi Ro warned that this was how the crew had died, but Sathona, urged on by the Worm, agreed with Aurash. The sisters took the needle into the deep. They finally reached a point where they could use the ship's sensors on the oceans. To their horror, they discovered that the Syzygy was real and that Fundament's moons had already aligned. Just then, they were encountered by the [[Leviathan (Fundament)|Leviathan]], a creature long spoken of in proto-Hive myth. The Leviathan warned the sisters that they needed to turn back, or else would unleash disaster upon the universe, saying that they faced a choice between the [[Light]], which offered civilization, and the [[Darkness]], which offered only violence. However, the Leviathan offered no hope to the sisters to avoid the Syzygy. Sathona then revealed the Worm's help to her sisters, and how it urged them to go down. Rejecting the Leviathan's entreaties, the sisters dove into the core.<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]], [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/ | Over the next two years, the sisters repaired the needle, but by this point, the sisters were five years old.

Reaching the very center of Fundament, the three sisters found the [[Worm Gods]]: [[Akka, the Worm of Secrets|Akka]], [[Eir, the Keeper of Order|Eir]], [[Ur, the Ever-Hunger|Ur]], [[Xol, Will of the Thousands|Xol]], and [[Yul, the Honest Worm|Yul]]. The Worm Gods offered the three sisters a chance for the proto-Hive to escape Fundament as well as achieve immortality. All they had to do was take the Worms larvae into them as symbiotes and spread them among the proto-Hive. The Worms posed the caveat that the sisters must never cease their natures: Xi Ro must always test her strength, Sathona must always be cunning, and Aurash must always try to understand. The sisters accepted the pact and became the first Hive: Xi Ro took the Knight morph and became Xivu Arath, Sathona took the Mother morph and became Savathûn, and Aurash took the King morph, transforming into a male and became Auryx, the King of the Hive.<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]], [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Books of Sorrow#XII: Out of the Deep|XII: Out of the Deep]]''</ref> | Reaching the very center of Fundament, the three sisters found the [[Worm Gods]]: [[Akka, the Worm of Secrets|Akka]], [[Eir, the Keeper of Order|Eir]], [[Ur, the Ever-Hunger|Ur]], [[Xol, Will of the Thousands|Xol]], and [[Yul, the Honest Worm|Yul]].

At some point, Savathûn became aware of the power within the Darkness that had been guiding her and her people's fate since she had first heard the whispers of her worm familiar as a child on Fundament: an ancient and terrifyingly powerful entity that called itself the [[The Witness|Witness]]. She pledged herself in service to this being, seemingly unbeknownst to either of her siblings, and would follow its direct commands alongside its Disciples. One of these Disciples, [[Rhulk, Disciple of the Witness|Rhulk]], was tasked with watching over Savathûn from inside her own Throne World. | At some point, Savathûn became aware of the power within the Darkness that had been guiding her and her people's fate since she had first heard the whispers of her worm familiar as a child on Fundament: an ancient and terrifyingly powerful entity that called itself the [[The Witness|Witness]].

As the Hive God of lies, cunning and trickery, Savathûn thrives on deceiving and outsmarting both her opponents and supposed allies. Nearly every word she speaks is calculated to misdirect and manipulate, and her true motivations at any given moment are shrouded by the web of rumors and false leads she spins about herself. Even during the one occasion on which she threw herself upon on the goodwill of her former enemies - [[Mara Sov]] and the [[Guardian]]s - she spent her entire captivity toying with her benefactors until she was silenced. It is very clear that Savathûn takes a great amount of amusement and satisfaction in her schemes leaving her enemies confused, suspicious and enraged as they struggle to discern the truth hidden beneath her web of lies and tricks. | As the Hive God of lies, cunning and trickery, Savathûn thrives on deceiving and outsmarting both her opponents and supposed allies.

Her Ghost Immaru at first glance seems to be her polar opposite, blunt where she is oblique and vulgar where she expresses a fair degree of elegance; on closer look, however, their differences turn out to be complimenting each other, and they certainly happen to share both a sharp mind and tactical skills. Their bond appears to be a genuine friendship marked by warmth and trust, contrasting how other Lighbearer Hive treat their Ghosts, the Ghost and the Lightbearer referring to one another with terms of endearment (though in his Immaru fashion, he does call Savathûn his "little buddy"), sharing embraces and confiding in each other. In her first moments after resurrection Savathûn relied on Immaru to guide and advise her as she navigated the world anew without her memories, and they worked closely together leading the Lucent Brood, Immaru serving as the Head Tactician and overseeing the Hive's maneuvers. Though unable to resurrect her following the failed ritual and the Traveler's departure from the throne world, the Ghost continued to preside over the swarm all the while hiding from the Vanguard's forces and waiting for the right time to try and bring his Lightbearer back. That time would come near as the Vanguard would be forced to cooperate with Immaru in combating Xivu Arath, as they need the Witch Queen's knowledge to pass through the Witness's gateway. | Her Ghost Immaru at first glance seems to be her polar opposite, blunt where she is oblique and vulgar where she expresses a fair degree of elegance; on closer look, however, their differences turn out to be complimenting each other, and they certainly happen to share both a sharp mind and tactical skills.
