{{Quote|You taught me the most precious lesson of irrelevance. Only purpose can be momentous. It is the moment of clarity that freed me from worldly soil. This final gift I withhold from my progeny. It is the most challenging lesson to teach, and I stand in awe of the elegance with which you revealed the truth to me. I cannot do the same without reflection. I have imitated myself all too well, but to imitate you, my Witness, it is the one challenge to which I find myself unworthy.|Rhulk, as he remarks his failure of teaching the Ahslid.}} | {{Quote|You taught me the most precious lesson of irrelevance.

Reborn as the First Disciple, Rhulk became the Witness' chosen enforcer and executioner for its wrath; bringing destruction through fire and [[glaive]] and leading [[Pyramids]] of the [[Black Fleet]] to wipe the races uplifted by the [[Traveler]]. He would also utilize the [[Upended]] to burn all traces of their passing much like his home Lubrae. After eons of supplication, however, Rhulk would find himself bereft of purpose and fulfillment in his duty, which he unrelentingly challenges the Witness to be recognized as an equal. Instead, he would constantly debate with his god over his repeated attempts to elevate above his intended station, much to his own sense of self-loathing and inadequacy. | Reborn as the First Disciple, Rhulk became the Witness' chosen enforcer and executioner for its wrath; bringing destruction through fire and [[glaive]] and leading [[Pyramids]] of the [[Black Fleet]] to wipe the races uplifted by the [[Traveler]].

At one point, the Witness endowed him with the task of subjugating a mighty race, that being of the insectoid race of [[Ahslid]], into their servitude. The Witness stated to Rhulk that this opportunity would test his worth in enlightening the Ahslid with the same lessons of irrelevance the latter learned from his master. As a condition, however, Rhulk is tasked to do so without revealing his presence to the Ahsild. Feeling castrated of his favor, Rhulk took the Witness' message to heart and changed his warmongering approach to one of unseen guidance and outreaching subterfuge.<ref name="Resonant Fury Mask">'''Bungie (2022/2/22)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[The Witch Queen]] - [[Armor|Armor lore]]: [[Resonant Fury Suit (Hunter)#Resonant Fury Mask|Resonant Fury Mask]]''</ref> | At one point, the Witness endowed him with the task of subjugating a mighty race, that being of the insectoid race of [[Ahslid]], into their servitude.
