Zulmak, Instrument of Torment is a very powerful Hive Knight and a former champion of the Hidden Swarm, having been reanimated by the Daughters of Crota, Son of Oryx to serve as a puppet champion for the Hive and a pawn for their schemes. He is encountered as the final boss of Pit of Heresy dungeon within the Cradle of Damnation, accompanied by several Hive, many of his great lieutenants, under the rally of the remaining daughters of Crota.
Biography
Zulmak was a rising champion within the Pit beneath what would become the Scarlet Keep, aspiring to take Oryx's throne through his own Sword Logic. Zulmak's quest to rise as the new Hive Prince pitted him against multiple other Hive combatants in the Pit; Some defying him and met with slaughter, others deliberately sacrificing themselves to one who they thought worthy. His triumphs were only met with disappointment from the daughters of the World-Breaker himself, who see him as a threat to their grandfather's legacy.
After winning his third streak within the Pits, he became mutilated by Azavath, the Suffer Queen of an Ever-Rising Swarm, a Deathsinger having merged with the essence of her brother Akrazul, the Severed in desecration of the Sword-Logic itself. With his body in dying grasp, Zulmak is met with whispers of the Witch-Queen herself, who proceeded to take his essence from his broken body and gifted it to her grand-nieces to further their schemes.
With the deaths of Hashladûn and 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 sacrificing Nightmares to harvest their phantasmal Darkness into a crystal for a necromantic revival of Zulmak, bringing the former champion back as a undead weapon empowered with the Darkness of the Nightmares to face the Guardians intruding upon the Pit. 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.
Gameplay
Trivia
- Zulmak bears a striking appearance to that of Urrox, Flame Prince and Kandorak as well as the Swordbearers in Crota's Oversoul Throne.
- This could mean that Zulmak may be a Swordbearer who grew in size and might to how he is right now through The Sword Logic.
- Due to the fact that many of his servants bear the title of "...of the Broken Blade," it could be inferred that he is also a Blade of Crota.
- This could mean that Zulmak may be a Swordbearer who grew in size and might to how he is right now through The Sword Logic.
- Both Zulmak and Dûl Incaru, the Eternal Return use an unknown crystal during both of their boss encounters. There is also another crystal in Titan that is similar in size and also possesses paranormal abilities comparable to the former two. It is unknown whether these crystals bear any canon importance.
