Bargux, Son of Xivu Arath is an Ascendant Hive Knight and Prince of Xivu Arath. Considered to be one of the most powerful of the God of War’s progeny, he has been part of many campaigns, such as the War against the Harmony, the Fall of Torobatl and her many incursions in Sol.
Biography[edit]
- "A BLADE WAS IN YOUR GRASP SINCE YOU WERE SPAWNED. STRIFE IS YOUR EVERY BREATH. WITHIN AND WITHOUT, YOU WILL FIGHT IN MY NAME."
- — Xivu Arath
Bargux was born between the fall of the Taishibethi and Harmony civilisations. He would be among Xivu Arath's forces in the assault on the Gift Mast, where he would assault many of the Harmony's worlds as his mother battled their bishops in the ascendant plane. He would also kill one of the Wish Dragons and use a piece of its invertebrate for his Tomb Carrier, which he later named the Bane of Harmony.
When the three siblings split ways, Bargux continued to serve his mother in her campaign of destruction across the universe. Following leading a campaign that led to the extinction of an interstellar species known as the Skithcara, Bargux would claim the title of Prince and take on a High Wizard known as Zenreth as his consort. He had seen her mastery of the Cryptoliths, using them to twist Skithcara into monsters through madness and turn them against each other, and desired to learn more from her of these techniques.
In time, Bargux became proficient in commanding and creating Wrathborn. Something that would come in handy when he was among the Hive forces of Xivu Arath that invaded the Cabal Homeworld Torobatl. There, he would be responsible for the destruction of many Cabal cities, including the Fortress City of Aqui'nisuss. He and Zenreth would also spawn many Cryptoliths across the planet, corrupting many desperate Cabal that hadn't managed to evacuate into Wrathborn.
Afterwards, he would follow his mother to Sol and join her various assaults, including hunting Hive Lightbearers and leading Wrathborn, Taken and Scorn against the Coalition. Particularly, when Savathûn was branded a heretic, Bargux swore to hunt down and slaughter all of the Witch Queen's children, including her son Anziluu, the Ravenous.
While initially devout to Xivu Arath, Bargux would begin to question the way Hive like him followed the Sword Logic and where the line of what was classed as heresy was placed, especially after seeing the continued strengthening of Kelgorath, Risen from Bones. Despite this, he maintained his loyalty to Xivu Arath mostly out of fear of being branded a heretic and traitor.
In Xivu's campaign against the new Hive God of Vengance, Bargux would coordinate various assaults into the Court of Savathûn until Xivu Arath was banished from her Throne World, where Bargux would vow revenge on the Guardians. Following this, Bargux would remain in her Throne World to defend it from traitors within and without.
Heresy[edit]
- "Long have I desired to stand as mother's champion. Greater than her High Celebrant, the Eater of Leviathans and the Spellblade. I studied the way of the Sword, devoting my existence to it. Now, I am… But does that matter in this Witnessless world?"
- — Bargux
In the time after the Witness's death and the unfulfillment of the Final Shape, Bargux found himself increasingly lost in purpose. Despite this, as one of her last remaining high champions, he would continue to lead his mother's forces against the Guardians and hunt down any of the Horde that would attempt to usurp control.
After the discovery of an Echo aboard the Dreadnaught, Bargux was tasked with leading his mother's forces to locate the Echo, investigate what effects it was having on the ship and ultimately claim it for Xivu Arath. During the campaign, he would find the Echo of Navigation created from the memory of Oryx and some groups of traitorous Hive on the ship.
After the Echo had been destroyed, Bargux did not share the same rage at it as Savathûn and Xivu Arath, seeing it as the loss of a useful asset rather than a loved one. Regardless, he vowed to investigate the traitorous Hive sect and crush it.
Personality and traits[edit]
From day one, Bargux was raised under the sword logic by Xivu Arath, becoming a devout warrior who believed that there was no such thing as an unbreakable foe. However, Bargux is far from a simple-minded brute as he shares his mother’s understanding of tactics, but to a slightly lesser degree. Additionally, he is a devout warrior for the Sword Logic and holds a binary understanding of Light and Darkness, believing that the Hive are only meant to wield Darkness against the Light and that any subversion is a heretical act punishable by death. However,
Despite being considered the most powerful of Xivu’s direct lineage, Bargux often feels neglected by her in favour of other champions like her High Celebrant and the Leviathan-Eater and is often eager to prove his worth. But, this can be used against him.
Gameplay[edit]
