"Never heard of the Mindbender? Surprise. That’s just how he likes it."
— Cayde-6[1]

Hiraks, the Mindbender, is a Baron of the Scorn, and an Ascendant Eliksni. A year after the events of the Red War, Uldren Sov freed him along with six other Scorn Barons, and worked together to orchestrate a massive breakout from the Prison of Elders. After the murder of Cayde-6 at Uldren's hands, Hiraks fled the scene alongside the prince and his fellow barons to the Tangled Shore. He has the ability to summon Hive combatants and wields a Knight's Boomer in battle. He reigns over a throne world, the Ascendant Plane.

Biography

As a Dreg, Hiraks fell into the Hellmouth on the Moon. He emerged obsessed with the Hive and incomprehensible in his speech (possibly having adopted the Hive's language) and began to study them. Years later, Hiraks found a way to form his own throne world within the Ascendant realm and gained a reputation for his ability to unravel his enemies' minds, along with his command over the Hive.

As the mastermind of the Great Crow Heist, Hiraks trapped and converted Prince Uldren's Crows with his powers, using them to help engineer mistrust between the Reef and Earth. He was also responsible for experiments on Asteroid 128 Nemesis, where his actions caused the asteroid to shift between our dimension and the Ascendant realm.[1]

Trivia

  • The Mindbender is the first enemy observed working with a race they are at war with.
  • He is the first Fallen ever seen to have mastered the power of the Ascendant realm and carved his own throne world from it.
  • His past of being forced to survive amongst the Hive for years within the Hellmouth is very similar to that of Eris Morn. They both also were physically changed, with Eris having to steal an Acolytes' eyes, while Hiraks grew horns.
