The Quassin are a species of humanoid aquatic creatures created from a rogue planet. After many centuries of fighting for survival, they would be driven to extinction by the Witness and the Disciple recruited from their people - Tivon.
Overview
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, tremors shook their world. When hunters from a Shoal of Ancient Quassin investigated, they found a mysterious relic breaking through the thick ice roof that was 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, they never found who gave them the relic, but still held it in worship for many years after.
The tales of these events would be recounted to many young Quassin, including Tivon who dreamed of finding whoever made the relic. Eventually, he would make a pilgrimage to the surface after having a dream of meeting a dark figure on the surface. He would encounter the mysterious blackened figure by the relic and, after a lengthy conversion where Tivon learned the relic came from the Traveler and that it had interfered with a race that should not exist, would be turned to the way of its master. After being taken away by the figure, Tivon would later return to "free" his people of their crime of existence by shattering the layer of ice, crushing all Quassin underwater.
