Nokris, Supplicant to Savathûn

"The name is... Nokris."

- Ghost

Nokris, Herald of Xol is a Hive god, the son of Oryx and the herald of the Worm God, Xol.

Overview
Nokris was abandoned by his father, Oryx, for reasons unknown. However, fearing an attack from Yul, the Honest Worm, Xol made a pact with the forgotten child and the two departed to find a world to rule.

The only reference to Nokris known to the Guardians prior to his awakening on Mars was a statue found in the Dreadnaught near the Altar of Oryx, beside similar statues of Crota and Oryx. The Guardian's Ghost infers it is a Hive god from the accompanying Hive glyphs but couldn't recognize the symbol. There is no file associated with this entity from either the World's Grave or the Books of Sorrow. At Eris Morn's request Asher Mir scoured his library for references to Nokris but found none. .

Trivia

 * The word "Nokris" might be derived from "Noctuidae", which is a family of moth, the wing patterns of which resemble the Shroud of Flies Hunter Cloak pattern. Similarly, "Nokri" is a Hebrew word for "alien" or "adulteress". Relatedly, the prefix "Nok" could be a derivation of "Noc", or "Nocturnal", the Greek Goddess of the night; similarly, the Roman translation is "Nox".
