'''Aksor, Archon Priest''' is a [[Fallen]] [[Archon]] of the [[House of Wolves]] who was detained inside the [[Prison of Elders]] only to be broken out by the [[House of Winter]] in a bid for him to join their House. He is the boss of the [[Winter's Run]] [[strike]] mission. <ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Winter's Run]]''</ref> | |||

Aksor, Archon Priest has two main abilities consistent with other known Fallen Archons: Teleportation and an Ultra Smash. He often teleports between locations in order to get a clear shot at targets or disrupt a shooter's line of sight. He can cover a great distance with this ability. When combatants close within melee range, he employs a devastating area of effect stomp attack similar to [[House of Devils]] Archon, [[Riksis, Devil Archon|Riksis]]. He uses this attack fairly often as he normally attempts to corner Guardians into an area where they cannot run. For ranged combat, he uses a Shrapnel Launcher. He fires this weapon at an incredibly fast rate, comparable to the [[MIDA Multi-Tool]], allowing him to take down Guardians quickly so he can switch to his next target. | |||
It is, however, possible to stunlock Aksor with sustained headshots, allowing the player to keep him pinned down and deal as much damage as possible. Repeated headshots can melt his health within seconds. | |||

* | *Aksor is presumably a member of the [[House of Wolves]] based on his lore, but his killcam shows no affiliation to any house (although his robes and color scheme suggest he is a member of the [[House of Kings]] and strangely around his cell there are numerous King banners instead of [[House of Winter|Winter]] ones). | ||
*In the [[Taken]] version of the Winter's Run strike, Aksor is replaced as the Strike's boss by [[Nixis, Hunger of Oryx]]. | |||

*[[ | *It is possible that the abandoned Reef ketch, [[The Drifter]], was once occupied by the [[House of Winter]] forces that freed Aksor or an attempt which failed. | ||
*[[Archon Servant]]s found in the Prison of Elders also belong to the [[House of Kings]] and serve [[Kaliks Reborn]]. This adds speculation as to whether Aksor belonged to the House of Kings. | |||
