Hiraks, the Mindbender

"Never heard of the Mindbender? Surprise. That’s just how he likes it."

- Cayde-6

Hiraks, the Mindbender, is a Baron of the Scorn. A year after the events of the Red War, Uldren Sov freed him along with six other Scorn Barons, and worked together to orchestrate a massive breakout from the Prison of Elders. After the murder of Cayde-6 at Uldren's hands, Hiraks fled the scene alongside the prince and his fellow barons to the Tangled Shore. He has the ability to summon Hive combatants and wields a Knight's Boomer in battle.

Biography
As a Dreg, Hiraks fell into the Hellmouth on the Moon. He emerged obsessed with the Hive and incomprehensible in his speech (possibly the Hive language), and began to study them. Years later, Hiraks found a way to form his own throne world within the Ascendant realm and gained a reputation for his ability to unravel his enemies' minds and his command over the Hive.

As the mastermind of the 'Great Crow Heist' Hiraks trapped and converted Prince Uldren's Crows, and used them to help engineer mistrust between the Reef and Earth. He was also responsible for experiments on Asteroid 128 'Nemesis', where his actions caused the asteroid to shift between our dimension and the Ascendant realm.

 * His past of being forced to survive amongst the Hive for years within the Hellmouth is very similar to that of Eris Morn.
