She and her sisters [[Hashladûn, Daughter of Crota|Hashladûn]], [[Besurith, Daughter of Crota|Besurith]], and [[Voshyr]] took control of the [[Hidden Swarm]] on the [[Moon]] and began experimenting with the [[Pyramid (Luna)|Pyramid]] buried beneath the surface, seeking a way to resurrect their grandfather [[Oryx, the Taken King]].

They were immediately confronted by the [[Warlock]] [[Osiris]], who her son, [[Ulg'Urin]], with a [[Nova Bomb]]. It is unknown whether she perished along with him, but judging from the lore it is a possibility she survived and has become not only the last remaining noble of Oryx's dynasty, but also the sole Hive de-facto power on the moon and thus the leader of the remaining Hidden Swarm |

| Kinox and her sisters [[Hashladûn, Daughter of Crota|Hashladûn]], [[Besurith, Daughter of Crota|Besurith]], and [[Voshyr]] took control of the [[Hidden Swarm]] on the [[Moon]] after their [[Oryx, the Taken King|grandfather's]] passing during the [[Taken War]]. What they lacked in brute strength of the [[Sword Logic]], they made up for in cunning thought and grand design. They who consider themselves the shadowed architects of empires. They who build their legacy upon the trade of secrets, the gossip of ages, and the sowing of lies—words their weapons; cutting as any blade.<ref name="An Audience with Slaughter">'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Shadowkeep]], [[Lore]]:[[Lore:Inquisition of the Damned|Inquistion of the Damned]] - [[Lore:Inquisition of the Damned#II: An Audience with Slaughter|II: An Audience with Slaughter]]''</ref> Rather than adhere to the tenants of the [[Sword Logic]], Kinox and her sisters schemed to preserve the glory of their forebearers including Oryx and Crota.<ref name="Faith in Bone">'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Shadowkeep]], [[Lore]]:[[Lore:Inquisition of the Damned|Inquistion of the Damned]] - [[Lore:Inquisition of the Damned#X: Faith in Bone|X: Faith in Bone]]''</ref>

| Sometime before the events of ''[[Shadowkeep Campaign|Shadowkeep]]'', the daughters of Crota saw opportunity in the ancient [[Pyramid (Luna)|Pyramid]] buried beneath the surface, which they could possibly conjure the essences of Crota and Oryx.<ref name="Faith in Bone"/> However as they speculate, they were also attentive to the [[Pit of Heresy|Pit]] where Hive fought in gladiatorial combat for claim to their father's vacant throne, which they must judge those worthy. Kinox remains silent, contemplating their station and the depths from which they must ascend if the Swarm is ever to reclaim its own destiny.<ref name="An Audience with Slaughter"/>

| However with the sudden appearance of the [[Deathsinger]] [[Ir_Airâm, Deathsinger|Azavath]] killing the reigning champion [[Zulmak]] caused a panic among the royal congregation, the daughters took the chance to exterminate their enemies.<ref name="The Anti-Logic">'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Shadowkeep]], [[Lore]]:[[Lore:Inquisition of the Damned|Inquistion of the Damned]] - [[Lore:Inquisition of the Damned#XI: The Anti-Logic|XI: The Anti-Logic]]''</ref> With no one threatening their schemes, the Daughters were free to enact their plan and had the Swarm raise the [[Scarlet Keep]].

| With the [[Nightmares]] unleashed at the hands of [[Eris Morn]], Kinox and her sisters could experiment with the phantasmal creations of the [[Pyramid]]. However, they found that they could not [[Resurrection|raise]] their father nor grandfather as their essences had truly dissipated and that the Nightmares were not alive.<ref name="Heretic">'''Bungie (2019/10/29)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Shadowkeep]]'', ''Item Description: [[Heretic#Lore|Heretic]]''</ref> Instead, Kinox urged her sisters to act; seeing the potential in raising [[Zulmak, Instrument of Torment|Zulmak]] as a warrior bound to their whims. However Hashladûn and Besurith would both meet their ends by [[Guardian]]s, leaving Kinox to act free without fear of heresy.<ref name="Apostate"/> She and Voshyr would enact their forbidden ritual to empower the abominable Zulmak with the power of the [[Nightmares]], all while hiding out in fear of the Guardians.<ref name="Pit of Heresy">'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Shadowkeep]]'', ''[[Pit of Heresy]]''</ref>

| A year after the events of ''[[Shadowkeep]]'', Kinox and her sister Voshyr were met with the [[High Celebrant of Xivu Arath|High Celebrant]], a champion of their great-aunt [[Xivu Arath, God of War]] having entered the system to build an army of [[Wrathborn]] and to rally the scattered Hive broods into her sway. Having gathered with their spawn beneath the [[Enduring Abyss]] to commune with the War god, they were immediately confronted by the [[Warlock]] [[Osiris]]. Kinox would die attempting to flee from the ensuing battle along with her son, [[Ulg'Urin]], whom perished in a vain attempt to protect her from a [[Nova Bomb]].<ref name="Immolant" />
