Mara Sov discussing Riven

Riven, of a Thousand Voices is a powerful Taken Ahamkara that formerly served Mara Sov within the Dreaming City. She now corrupts the city from its heart, and worked her way into Uldren Sov's mind like a parasite, warping his will in an attempt to open the gate to the Dreaming City and enable herself to enter the material world. She is the true main antagonist of Forsaken, and the final boss of the Last Wish raid.

Biography

Reign of the Queen

Riven was born as one of the last remaining Ahamkara in the Solar System around the time of the Great Ahamkara Hunt. She was found by Uldren Sov and presented to Mara Sov. Through the years, she grew and accompanied Mara Sov in her ventures, becoming one of the most trusted and significant members of her entourage.

Becoming Taken

Shortly after the Battle of Saturn, Oryx, the Taken King raided the Dreaming City alongside his Taken forces, where he quickly took Riven as part of his army. She remained within the Dreaming City, having become an incredibly powerful weapon of Oryx at the time - to the extent where her mere status as a Taken drove the Nine into a complete frenzy.

A New Master

Following Oryx's death, Savathûn assumed control over the Taken, which included Riven. Riven quickly became one of the most prominent leaders of Savathun's Taken army, and she somehow retained her will, using it to corrupt the Dreaming City from deep within, along with the mind of Uldren Sov, who had ironically been the one to originally discover her as an infant many years prior.

Traits

Riven is a calculating figure that is a master of manipulation. She is adept in sadistically driving one into complete madness, as she did with Uldren Sov through speaking to him in his head under the guise of Mara Sov. It is important to note that she is the first and only observed Taken to retain her will and personality. Riven possesses disturbing abilities and a terrifying level of cunning that is only rivaled by her master, Savathûn. Her mastery of corruption directly led to the death of Cayde-6, and the events of the entirety of Forsaken as a result.

Trivia

  • Though she is Taken, Riven is the first Ahamkara ever observed in the Destiny series.
  • She is the first female Raid boss.
