Biography

Origins

Millions of years ago, Tehk was one of many Worms living on Fundament. However, when much of his species became seduced by the Sword Logic and began slaughtering each other to grow stronger, Tehk was one of the few to escape Fundament. As he fled, he would attempt to hide on another world, which he didn't know had been transformed by the Vex. Upon diving into a Radiolaria sea, he would quickly be subsumed. Despite this, Tehk managed to retain a degree of independence from the Vex.

In the Vexnet

Over the eons, Tehk would work to slowly manipulate the code of the Vex Network to carve a realm for himself that the Vex would avoid. This realm would become a simulation of Fundament to remind him of home, as well as construct Proxy Krill so that it wouldn't be alone.

Tehk would be one of many denizens within the Network to recongize the arrival of the Echo of Command. However, he did not make an attempt to claim the Echo, believing that it wasn't the right time.

Cultivation of Potential

By the time of the Convergent Containment, the Guardian would briefly enter a simulation of Fundament as they descended into Sedna to destroy the Sol Convergent's leading Mind, Ouranos, briefly spotting Tehk swimming through the ocean as they fought.

After Ouranos was destroyed, along with the Echo of Paracausality, the leaderless Convergent Vex would make plans to infiltrate the Network to spread their influence through it using recovered fragments of the Echo by learning how Tehk evaded the Vex, creating a Mind to capture him. However, Tehk would learn of this and call out to the Guardians to aid him. A Guardian fireteam would pursue the Convergent Vex and destroy the Kraken sent to capture Tehk, leaving him in their debt.
