Alak-Hul, the Darkblade is a Grimoire card from the original Destiny (Destiny 1), found under Enemies → Exalted Hive. Grimoire cards held most of the game's lore and were read on Bungie.net and in the companion app, not in the game itself.
Card text
From a median point
Alak-Hul tossed back his head and defied me
Saying:
Oryx gave me no task
Therefore I must task myself
With Oryx's ending.
So I slew him,
And buried him close to me,
Rejoicing in the success of his great, secret task —
To be as the sword:
Keen, hungry, cyclical, ontological —
This was the task I gave to Alak-Hul,
O sharp-edged Darkblade,
O beloved foster son.
