When three sibling Hive heretics in the [[Hidden Swarm]], Malkanth, Akrazul, and Azavath, sought to rebel against the daughters of Savathun's nephew, [[Crota, Son of Oryx|Crota]], who had taken over the leadership of the Swarm, Savathun was revealed to be the master behind their situation. As the Wizard Malkanth performed a ritual to put the essence of Akrazul, a crippled Knight, into the body of her fellow Wizard Azavath, the plan backfired. Akrazul's rage was so great that it became unbridled within Azavath's body, leading him to slay Malkanth and assault the Swarm. As Malkanth's essence had left her body in her death, Savathun whispered to Azavath's essence and instructed her to take up the mantle of [[Deathsinger]]. Placing her essence into Malkanth's body, Azavath would become [[Ir Airâm, Deathsinger]], killing both Akrazul and the Swarm's champion [[Zulmak, Instrument of Torment|Zulmak]] with her Deathsong. Savathun captured Zulmak's essence as he died for her own purposes, and discussed with Malkanth's essence, without a body, before she died. The Witch-Queen told Malkanth of her dismissal of gods and "absolutes" such as time, space, and death, when they are all [[Vex|so]] [[Ascendant realm|easily]] [[Guardians|broken]]. Believing that when the final absolute falls reality will face a [[Darkness|final and complete ending]], Savathun said she wished to ensure that end would not come to pass as Malkanth's essence faded away into nothing. | When three sibling Hive heretics in the [[Hidden Swarm]], Malkanth, Akrazul, and Azavath, sought to rebel against the daughters of Savathun's nephew, [[Crota, Son of Oryx|Crota]], who had taken over the leadership of the Swarm, Savathun was revealed to be the master behind their situation.

The Witch-Queen would then make contact with the Daughters of Crota. As part of her greater schemes, she made a deal with the four offering two boons: the essence of [[Zulmak, Instrument of Torment|Zulmak]], to be reanimated as a puppet champion for the Daughters' nefarious purposes, and the reformation of the Choir, a legendary group of Deathsingers to be lead by [[Ir Airâm, Deathsinger|Ir Airâm]]. In turn, the Daughters would invest in the construction of the [[Scarlet Keep]] to draw the Guardians to the [[Moon]] and set the [[Shadowkeep|events]] that would come to pass. However, the Daughters failed to realize that this deal was another deceit of Savathun's; the Witch-Queen, aware that even with the Choir and Zulmak the Guardians would decimate the Hidden Swarm, wanted the Scarlet Keep built as bait to lure in Guardians so that Oryx's bloodline would go extinct, believing it had run its course. | The Witch-Queen would then make contact with the Daughters of Crota.
