"The line between Light and Dark is so very thin. Do you know what side you're on?"
Uldren Sov is the main antagonist of Destiny 2: Forsaken, and Prince of the Awoken. He serves his sister and Queen, Mara Sov. After his revival, he took on the name of The Crow, marking his change in personality and alliance.
I was first introduced to the Destiny series in 2017 when I moved to North Carolina, and I played both games. I played as a hunter in D1, and a warlock in D2. It's been a while since I got to play the games, and due to the trauma I went through during this time, I don't really remeber much about my playthroughs. I think I played through most of D1's DLC, but I didn't get the chance to play much of D2. I mostly just watched my dad play D2 since I wasn't allowed on any consoles after some time.
I had first fell in love with Uldren near the end of 2018. I had thankfully written down my feelings
in my journal that I kept during that time:
"By the way, do you remember that Awoken guy in the ship from The Taken King? Apparently his name is Uldren Sov.
Crazy, right? And get this: he's the Prince of the Awoken! Honestly, I don't think he deserves that title,
cuz what prince KILLS his own people!? And he's totally emo (you can tell by his hair)! I hate to admit this to myself
(and anyone who reads this in the future), but...I'm in love with him. Don't blame me, I'M CRAZY. (just like my entire family)"
I had also drawn a lot of art of him, most of which I threw away out of sheer cringe.
I still have a few sketches from my old sketchbooks though.
I think why I ended up loving him so much is that, well...he's just super beautiful! I love his soft voice as well; I feel like it could put me to sleep. But also, he was just the kind of guy I wish could've had save me from the abuse I was suffering from. A strong, cunning prince with an army of undead space pirates to back him up. I would always imagine myself running into the forest around the house and just finding him there somehow, hoping he would take me up into his ship and letting me join his Scorn army, or let me just stay by his side to help him. It sounds absurd now, but I thought he would've been a better father for me than my own dad at that point.
What about Crow?
Well, all of my knowledge about Crow is coming from Destinypedia since I can't play D2 anymore, but I love him just as much as I love Uldren. I like his new outfits, and I was quite suprised when I saw he put his hair up in a bun. If I ever get to play D2 again, I'll update this section with more of my thoughts.
