===The Long Drift=== | ===The Long Drift=== | ||
Mithrax was born to a House of Wolves member named Inaaks, shortly after the Whirlwind destroyed Eliksni civilisation. His father would die not long after the birth.<ref>https://www.ishtar-collective.net/entries/i-the-long-drift#book-above-all-else</ref> His early life was spent with two adoptive brothers, Rakis and Siviks, who were forcibly given over to his Ketch as hatchlings, in a "trade" initiated by Eramis. They would protect his Ether supply from theft when he wasn't being supervised by his mother, solidifying their future relations.<ref>https://www.ishtar-collective.net/entries/ii-the-whispering-dark#book-above-all-else</ref> | |||
After his mother discovered the Pyramid ship underneath the surface of Luna, Mithrax would inherit a severed finger of [[Nezarec]]'s corpse, beginning his rise in power amongst his kind. He would form his own pirate crew, with Rakis and Siviiks as members, becoming known as ruthless and savage. He was unafraid to target his own people if it meant becoming stronger or obtaining further riches, even going so far as to maroon his adoptive brothers on a remote asteroid. | |||
At an undetermined point in this rampage, Mithrax either gave up or lost the finger, leaving or disassembling his crew, and began working with traditional Houses again. | |||

Misraaks | One of Misraaks's earliest adventures in human space would be his capture by [[Sjur Eido]], transported aboard a [[Galliot]] with all four of his arms bound behind his back. Due to not being killed outright by Sjur, Misraaks believed that she intended to torture him, but vowed that it would not work and that he would never yield like the [[House of Judgment]] to the [[Awoken]]. He also believed that nothing the Awoken could do to him would compare to the shame and dishonor he already felt at being held captive. Upon landing in the [[Dreaming City]], Misraaks stepped out of the Galliot into a garden, imagining as he did so that his mother would dock his arms with nothing but her own brute strength and would willingly welcome death by [[Ether]] starvation to make up for his shame. Sjur began speaking to him in a language he did not understand and placed a hand on his shoulder. Misraaks was surprised by how strong her grip felt despite lacking claws, but he quickly noted her quiver held only one arrow for her bow and believed her to be stupid as they stared at the gardens. He quickly swept her legs out from under her and began charging towards a nearby cliff edge, seeking to kill himself to erase his shame and hoped his mother would soon forget him. However, Sjur caught one of his feet as he began to fall and hauled him back onto the cliff despite his attempts to drag her down with him.<ref name="Misraaks">'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]], Activision Blizzard - [[Lore]]: [[Lore:The_Dreaming_City#Misraaks|The Dreaming City - Misraaks]]''</ref> | ||
Sjur quickly bound Misraaks's feet to prevent him from attempting suicide again. Unable to do anything but glower at his captor and hate her weak human form, he was caught off-guard when she suddenly drew two fractal knives and performed an ireliis bow towards him. Stunned by the display of peace, Misraaks quickly felt a sense of fury and believed it to be some kind of trick but responded correctly to the gesture. Sjur continued to perform the ritual of supplication, even speaking in Eliksni, which caused him to feel a fresh sense of betrayal and wonder how many secrets of the Fallen had been told to the Awoken by those who had surrendered to their rule. Despite his feelings, when Sjur placed the knife between them and introduced herself, Misraaks was honor bound to respond in kind and attempted to state her name back, although he found it difficult. The Awoken had trouble with his name as well, pronouncing it as Mithrax, but welcomed him to the Dreaming City and proposed they look around.<ref name="Misraaks"/> | Sjur quickly bound Misraaks's feet to prevent him from attempting suicide again.
