The Witness played a key role in the ascension of the Hive on Fundament by telepathically communicating with the young Sathona via her Worm familiar, telling her that the Osmium Court was in imminent danger of destruction by a tidal wave generated by a syzygy. We will tell the most cunning sibling of cataclysm. " These frail siblings will soon be claimed by the Light. The Witness later visited the solar system of Fundament along with Rhulk, tasking the latter with subjugating the Worms as slaves to further its goals. This caused Rhulk to swear himself to the Witness as one of its Disciples. There, it converted Rhulk to worship of the Darkness by showing how, from the perspective of the Darkness, the lives that had been lost on Lubrae were never worth anything to begin with, and that he had proven his worth by destroying them and surviving the extinction of his species by his own hand. As Rhulk fell once more into the chasm, the Witness saved him again by bringing him aboard its Pyramid. Rhulk went on to massacre the people of the city above the chasm, and eventually destroyed his entire planet by using the Upended to destroy Lubrae's Sapphiric Sun. The Witness healed Rhulk's injuries and gifted him a remade and empowered version of his Glaive, and told him that his destiny was to bring ruin to Lubrae. There, it encountered a warrior named Rhulk, who had fallen into a chasm after being betrayed by his family and clan. What is known is that it has existed in the universe for eons, during which it has acted to further the aims of the Darkness, or at least its own interpretations of them.īillions of years ago, the Witness visited a dying world called Lubrae, which had degenerated into a military dictatorship after the Traveler had blessed and left their civilization. Contradictory statements from Savathûn claim both that the Witness was once a mortal creature whose race was empowered by the Darkness and that the Witness itself birthed the Darkness the latter statement is almost certainly a falsehood, as Savathûn in other contexts has described the Witness as a "child of the Darkness," and the Darkness has stated itself to have existed for eternity. The history of the Witness is almost totally unknown. " I stand before a being with a thousand names. When speaking, the Witness is either speaking to some other entity(s) or it is referring to itself as a plurality (using the word “we” instead of “I”).īiography The Ancient Past The significance of this is unknown but may be related to its apparent time and reality manipulation abilities. When Mars reappeared in the Sol System after having vanished following the arrival of the Pyramids, the surface of the world was covered with patches of terrain that appeared to have been temporally displaced, showing Mars as it had been at various points in the past.Īt times the Witness leaves a series of “afterimages” of itself while in motion for example, when moving its arms, multiple ghostly silhouettes of its arms will repeat the gesture after a delay. It is evidently capable of using the Darkness to move entire planets between realities, causing them to disappear from the "normal" universe into some other realm, possibly the Ascendant Plane this is suggested to be a more refined application of the same powers that enable the creation of Taken. The Witness is an extremely powerful wielder of the Darkness, perhaps more so than any other being in the universe. Its true face is partially concealed, but it can be seen to have large, dark eyes and a rectangular pattern of gray lines on its brow and forehead. ![]() ![]() ![]() Among its most notable features is a column of white “smoke” that is continually billowing from the top of its head, which forms a multitude of humanoid faces as it spreads and dissipates. Its long black cloak emanates the same resonance as other Darkness artifacts have done. Most of its features are obscured by its metallic robe-like clothing, which constantly ripples and shifts seemingly of its own accord. The Witness is a tall, pale-skinned humanoid being.
