'''Bah’nok, Devil of Oryx''' was a [[Hive]] [[Knight]] of the [[Blood of Oryx]] known for participating in the king’s invasion of [[Riis]]. A loyal servant to [[Oryx]], Bah'nok would be cast out to further civilizations to kill their strongest warriors as a warning of Oryx's coming. Following the death of Oryx at the hands of [[the Guardian]], Bah'nok would leave the [[Dreadnaught]] in an attempt to seek revenge for his king.

After the death of [[Rhulk]], [[the Witness]] would Take Bah'nok to use him as a puppet to assassinate the former [[warlord]] [[Forum:Cane|Cane]]. This assassination attempt would fail, with Cane trapping Bah'nok within ''The Pit'' of the Chernobyl Quarantine Zone.

==Biography==

===Blade of the King===

===Search for Vengeance===

===Taken by the Witness===

===Experimentation===

Following Bah'nok's imprisonment, Cane would request a few of his agents to prepare for the use of his newest machination; the Paracausal Manipulator. Once the machine was activated, Cane used the manipulator to search deep inside of Bah'nok's warped mind in search of any trace of the Witness. Cane began to use the manipulator to siphon power from the Witness, attempting to weaken it in the process. The Witness would retaliate by linking Bah'nok to the core of the Manipulator, giving him a control over untamed paracausal energy.

Days after the last contact with Bah'nok, a handful of Cane's [[Psion|Psions]] would use the Manipulator once more to investigate reported tears in the [[Ascendant Plane]]. One Psion would enter the Ascendant Plane to investigate further, while the others stayed behind and examine Bah'nok's mind. Within the Ascendant Plane, numerous floating platforms made from crushed Eliksni [[Skiff|Skiffs]] and [[Ketch|Ketches]] were littered with [[Taken Acolyte|Taken Acolytes]] and radiant [[Blight|Blights]], each with shifting and different forms. As the other Psions mapped Bah'nok's brain synapses, they discovered that, in a similar fashion to the [[Vex]], his brain was constantly generating large amounts of paracausal energy in hundreds of different areas. A few notable area's being the [[Hellmouth]] of the Moon, Oryx's [[Dreadnaught]], and the seabed of Saturn's moon, [[Titan]]. TBC

===The Nightmare===

While Bah'nok had lost his will to the Witness, he still maintained some of his consciousness, though heavily warped and refracted. During his incarceration, Bah'nok began to fear imperfection; the thought of a flawed being made the Paracausal Manipulator distort the space between throne worlds. The knight thought of his former self, discordant and defective, resentment and spite engulfed those memories. In that fear and hatred of his past self, the Manipulator synced with the Lunar Pyramid, subsequently creating the '''Nightmare of the Requite'''. The nightmare would act as a constant reminder of Bah'nok's continuously flawed existence, unfit for the Witness's plan of perfection.

==Trivia==
*Bah'nok's name is a portmanteau of two words from the Dragon Language of Bethesda's '''Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim''', specifically the words "bah" (''wrath'')<ref>[https://www.thuum.org/word.php?w=677| '''Thuum.org''' - '''Bah''']</ref> and "nok" (''laid to rest'')<ref>[https://www.thuum.org/word.php?w=1019|'''Thuum.org''' - '''Nok''']</ref>.
