A race of Locust Drones known as the Kantus became the priests of the Trinity, acting as Acolytes. Needing a place of worship, the Locust began construction of the Temple of the Trinity within Nexus. The belief is that the Riftworms' tunneling created the Hollow and life within it, as well as being genetically part of their creation as a species. During the development of their civilization, the Locust began a religion known as the Trinity of Worms. Following the supposed death of her human, infant daughter Myrrah led a rebellion by commanding the Locust to slaughter the scientists and travel deeper into the Hollow in order to become an independent race.ĭeep in the Inner Hollow of Mount Kadar, Myrrah led the Locust Horde as their Queen and began to develop their civilization known as Nexus. As experiments within a facility inside Mount Kadar, the Locust longed for independence and felt imprisoned by the humans. The Locust were highly controllable through Myrrah as she was the queen to their Hivemind and were also able to reproduce. The offspring resulted in the creation of hybrids called the Locust Horde. He then combined the DNA of the Sires with the embryonic stem-cells of Myrrah, a young woman born with a genetic immunity to Imulsion. Samson tried to perfect his experiments as the Sires were genetically distempered, mindless, and sterile. Instead, he created mutated creatures he called Sires. Samson encountered a hibernating Riftworm in the Hollow and used its DNA to genetically engineer a cure for Rustlung in the children. Samson considered using their DNA to transfer to the children.
Believing indigenous creatures of the Hollow contained genetic immunity to Imulsion due to their proximity in the wild, Dr. Samson wanted to apply transgenics after witnessing the power of genetic mutation in Imulsion. Originally attempting to cure children ill with Rustlung, Dr. The Locust Horde were created in the early Pendulum Wars by Dr.
