'''The Witness''', also known as '''the Entity''', or the '''Voice in the Darkness''', is an immensely powerful [[Darkness]]-wielding being who commands the [[Black Fleet]]. Originating from the first known civilization uplifted by [[The Traveler|the Traveler]], it is the product of an entire species having merged into one entity through the mastery of the [[Darkness]]; their minds bound together into a single gestalt consciousness. It has spent eons chasing the Traveler as part of its eternal pursuit to impose "salvation" upon all reality through the [[Final Shape]], and along the way it has been responsible for the destruction of countless civilizations across the universe; either by its hand or through the actions of its [[Disciples of the Witness|Disciples]] and other servants. It is the overarching main antagonist of the ''[[Destiny]]'' Light and Darkness saga.

Mars would later return under mysterious circumstances, but with regions of its surface having been temporally displaced, displaying what appears to be the Golden Age. It is claimed by Savathûn, after her revival as a Lightbearer, that she used the Witness' power to take worlds to bring Mars back from its anomalous state.
