We would like to stress that this article does contain story spoilers for The Witch Queen.

The Witness is the shadowy figure that we finally see at the end of the campaign. There is a cutscene that plays out for players, revealing a brief preview of this character, and how they’re going to be a larger threat in the Destiny 2 universe. They have a direct connection the Pyramids and the Darkness you now wield. The Witness is also the one who has attacked countless beings throughout the universe, and Savathûn was afraid of them, wanting to prepare for their potential arrival.

The Witness will be an upcoming threat and enemy for Guardians to battle against, as we learn at the end of The Witch Queen campaign. We can expect to see more story beats about the Witness and learning about their connection to the Pyramids in the future.
