Malok, Pride of Oryx

"Dutiful Malok. Many offerings of Light did he make at the Shrines of Oryx."

- Eris Morn

Malok is a Taken Knight who rises to power in the aftermath of the defeat of Oryx, the Taken King, becoming a prime candidate to seize Oryx's vacant throne. He is first encountered in the story Mission Pretender to the Throne, where the Guardian tries to stop Malok from occupying the throne. He is met again in the The Blighted Chalice Strike, where he is likely finished off for good. Malok is the main antagonist of the April Update.

Trivia
Malok was first identified by two items added to Destiny's database by The Taken King: the pulse rifle Grasp of Malok, which drops from the Will of Crota strike, and the currently inaccessible Hunter helmet Hood of Malok.
