The Quassin are a species of humanoid aquatic creatures created from a rogue planet. After many centuries of peace, they would be driven to extinction by the Witness and the Disciple recruited from their people - Tivon.

Overview

What would become the homeworld of the Quassin had become a rogue planet after being flung out of their solar system when the universe was still young. Despite the lack of a star to provide warmth on the surface, life was able to exist deep in the oceans as bacteria that fed from the chemicals from hydrothermal vents and were kept warm enough to grow via a rogue moon that had been caught in orbit. In time, the Quassin would evolve into sentient humanoid life with thin bodies and limbs, webbed hands and feet, large eyes, gills in their necks, sharp thin teeth and semi-transparent skin, though they were still about as intelligent as fish.

However, after the arrival of the Traveler, the Quassin species became an intelligent species, slowly developing from a primitive civilization that divided different Quassin into groups called Shoals that built their homes around hydrothermal vents. The Traveler's Light allowed the Quassin to create tools and improved structures by manipulating the materials produced by hydrothermal vents, eventually being able to safely reach the surface to see the Traveler. The Traveler would eventually leave their homeworld, but the Quassin continued to hold it in high regard and worship for years, referring to it as the "God Pearl".

The tales of these events would be recounted to many young Quassin, including Tivon who dreamed of finding the God Pearl. Eventually, he would make a pilgrimage to the surface after having a dream of meeting a mysterious dark figure. After finding the figure and having a lengthy conversion, Tivon would be convinced of its way of thinking after being told that his species went against the way of the universe and the Traveler's interference would bring his people suffering and would be taken away. The Quassin would be wiped out by the Witness not long after with the use of its Pyramids' gravitational weaponry to distort the planet, creating a great tidal wave that destroyed their civilizations in the violent undertow.

Centuries later, after the Witness had linked with the Veil with the Traveler to get into the Pale Heart to begin the Final Shape, it would use the Traveler's Light to create soldiers, dubbed Evocators, from its memories of the Quassin using Tivon as a template for their combat knowledge.

-From what can be gleaned from Tivon's memories, the Quassin were originally the people of a world that had been flung from their system in the early universe. They had evolved in the deep ocean as the surface froze over by a thick layer of ice that cut them off from the rest of the universe, developing a primitive and tribal civilization referred to as '''Shoals''' that were built around hydrothermal vents. Quassin were somewhat humanoid in appearance but with a few additions from their time deep in the ocean, such as thin bodies and limbs, webbed hands and feet, large eyes, gills in their necks and semi-transparent skin.

-One day when tremors shook their world, hunters from a Shoal of Ancient Quassin investigated and found a mysterious relic breaking through the thick ice roof brimming with [[Light]]. They would be able to use the Light to manipulate the hydrothermal vents and use it to construct buildings and tools. Eventually, they were able to dig their way through the ice roof to the surface. However, while they never found who gave them the relic, which would come to be known as the '''Breaker Mast''', they still held the relic's creator in worship for many years after, which they would come to call the '''"God Pearl"''' after a large round, white object Quassin close to the relic would see in their dreams.

He would encounter the dark figure by the mast and, after a lengthy conversion where Tivon learned the relic came from [[the Traveler|the Gardener]], that it and the God Pearl were the same and that it had interfered with a race that should not exist, would be turned to the way of its [[The Witness|master]]. After being taken away by the figure, the Quassin would soon be wiped out by the Witness with the use of its [[Pyramid]]s' gravitational weaponry to distort the planet, shattering the thick ice layer and crushing all Quassan underneath.
