'''Sardon, Fist of Crota''' is a [[Hive Knight]] encountered in the [[Fist of Crota]] Mission from [[The Dark Below]]. Being a significant member of [[Crota]]'s forces, Sardon is the leader of the [[Blades of Crota]] and commander of all his armies, with the [[Swarm Princes]] being his generals.<ref name=Sardon>'''Bungie (2014/12/9)''', ''[[Destiny]] - [[Grimoire:Enemies/Exalted Hive|Exalted Hive]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Exalted Hive#Sardon,_Fist_of_Crota|Sardon, Fist of Crota]]''</ref> 

==Biography==
Regarded as one of the first of Crota's disciples, Sardon was largely responsible for leading the latter's army of [[Blades of Crota|Blades]] in conquering [[Luna]] sometime during the [[Collapse]], where they entrenched it into a [[War moon]] for [[Omnigul]]'s broods. He had also led the Blades to battle against the [[Guardian]]s during the [[Great Disaster]], which drew first blood by slaughtering countless Lightbearers with their Cleavers.<ref name="Sardon"/> 

After the [[Great Disaster]], Sardon took command of the Hive spawn on [[Earth]], where they seeded beneath [[Old Russia]] in secret until [[Fallen]] from the [[House of Devils]] stirred up the Hive at the [[Skywatch]], alerting their presence to a newly-Risen [[The Guardian|Guardian]], the [[Last City]] and by extension [[Eris Morn]].<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]] - [[The Dark Within]]''</ref> Seeking vengeance on Crota and his forces, Eris sent out the same Guardian to track Sardon's movements at [[the Grottos]] and to finish him, making him the first casualty of the Hope-Eater's disciples.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/12/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Dark Below]] - [[Fist of Crota]]''</ref>

==Gameplay==
Upon spawning, he casts a debuff called "A Dark Burden", which prevents players from using their jump ability, blocks their vision the closer they are to him and causes damage when at a higher elevation. This works in combination with Sardon's preferred method of attack, which is unleashing a shockwave with his Cleaver. This heavily-damaging shockwave travels along the ground and causes disorientation and is launched into the air upon a successful hit. Sardon is also a nimble target, making it hard to land sustained fire on him.

==Trivia==
*Sardon has a similar name to [[Sardok, Eye of Oryx]].
