Serving as the Witness’ herald, Rhulk sought the paracausal powers of the [[Worm]]s as pawns for their plans to bring about the [[Final Shape]], which the [[Worm Gods]] were imprisoned far beneath the seas of [[Fundament]]. He swam deep into the depths of the oceans, where he was met with the [[Leviathan (creature)|Leviathan]] acting as the warden of their prison. Despite its warnings to the disciple to turn from Darkness, Rhulk defiantly rebukes the creature before he grievously injures it by removing one of its enormous ribs within a millisecond. Rhulk held the Leviathan's rib in one hand and pushed aside its maimed body with the other, proclaiming that he "''rise''" instead of "drown" with the [[Darkness|Deep]].<ref name="Leviathan">'''Bungie (2022/2/22)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[The Witch Queen]] - [[Rhulk]]: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Uy37eDdZdI "The Creature Known to Some as the Leviathan"]''</ref> The wounded Leviathan could not bare to look into Rhulk's gaze as its stared into the depths below.

Upon finding the Worm Gods at the deepest trenches of the planet, [[Xita, the Nurturing Worm]] greets the Lubrean disciple only for him to disrespectfully scold her for taking him for a fool manipulatable by her psychic machinations. As he fully knew of the Worms' plight and hunger from eons of their imprisonment, Rhulk offers the Worm mother a trade: the survival of her children in exchange for their eternal servitude to the Witness. He also promises sustenance for them in the form of the primitive ancestors of the [[Hive|Krill]] on Fundament's surface, to be given new purpose as fodder for her spawn to feed upon.

Rhulk could only snark as the Worm mother's submission for mercy; holding the rib out for her to grasp with her jaws as they both swam upward from their underwater prison, dragging Xita in tow towards the surface and into her new prison aboard his [[The Sunken Pyramid|Pyramid]]. Rhulk would therefore became respectfully known as the Subjugator to the Worms for his indomitable might and strength.<ref name="Resonant Fury Helm">'''Bungie (2022/2/22)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[The Witch Queen]] - Item Description: [[Resonant Fury Suit (Titan)#Resonant Fury Helm|Resonant Fury Helm]]''</ref> | ||
With the Nuturing Worm kept in his grasp, it is revealed that Rhulk had his own selfish desire for the Worms' paracausal power to proof himself the Witness' equal. Instead he would spend eons constantly debating with his god over his attempts to reach above his intended station, much to his own sense of self-loathing and inadequacy. Over time, the Subjugator created a strain of miniature Worms by taking living segments of Xita in which they could be implanted into a host. He would set these so called "larvae" adrift on Fundament's ocean, knowing full well they would reach the shores of the [[Osmium Court]].<ref name="Resonant Fury Greaves">'''Bungie (2022/2/22)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[The Witch Queen]] - Item Description: [[Resonant Fury Suit (Titan)#Resonant Fury Greaves|Resonant Fury Greaves]]''</ref> | With the Nuturing Worm kept in his grasp, it is revealed that Rhulk had his own selfish desire for the Worms' paracausal power to proof himself the Witness' equal.
