When the Daughters efforts at resurrecting Crota and Oryx proved in vain, [[Kinox]] saw an opportunity to rally the [[Hidden Swarm]] by reanimating the shattered Zulmak as their puppet champion, with Hashladûn offering the phantasmal essence of the [[Nightmares]] as a catalyst to infuse into Zulmak's husk, creating the first hybrid of an undead Hive and a Nightmare.<ref>'''Bungie (2019/10/29)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Shadowkeep]], Item Description: [[Heretic#Lore|Heretic]]''</ref>

With the deaths of [[Hashladûn, Daughter of Crota|Hashladûn]] and [[Besurith, Daughter of Crota|Besurith]] at the hands of the [[Guardians]], the remaining daughters, [[Kinox]] and [[Voshyr]], went into hiding in the Pit beneath the [[Scarlet Keep]]. Out of desperation, the Hive began [[Altars of Sorrow|sacrificing]] [[Nightmare]]s to harvest their phantasmal essence to empower the undead Zulmak with [[Darkness]] and to face the Guardians. Their actions created seismic activity however, that drew the [[Guardians]]' attention into the Pit, where they confronted the undead Zulmak. Though he was met with death a second time, Kinox and Voshyr would remain to continuously revive the fallen Zulmak in their rejection of the [[Sword Logic]].
