Although Oryx saved his throne world from the Vex and became intrigued by their fascination with geometry, he punished Crota for his reckless experiments. Grabbing him one of his legs, the Taken King flung his progeny into the Vex gate network and ordered him to return home covered in glory or not at all. For centuries Crota traversed the Vex's network and fought across space and time, becoming a demon in many cultures. As time passed, he adjusted his tactics as he gained a greater understanding of his father and ceased to spare some of his victims whom he complained about his father too, and instead built mighty temples and monuments to himself to increase his power through tribute, strengthening himself and his father.<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]], Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Books_of_Sorrow#XL:_An_Emperor_For_All_Outcomes|XL: An Emperor For All Outcomes]]''</ref> | Although Oryx saved his throne world from the Vex and became intrigued by their fascination with geometry, he punished Crota for his reckless experiments.

Eventually Crota returned to his father's court and spawned his own [[Spawn of Crota|brood]] devoted to him with his consort [[Omnigul, Will of Crota]].<ref>Bungie (2014-9-9), Destiny, PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Activities#Disciples_Of_Crota|Disciples of Crota]]</ref> When the [[Wizard]] [[Lokaar]] attempted to murder Omnigul to increase her own power, Crota attempted to slay her in return. However Lokaar fled and avoided his wraith, frustrating the Hive prince. He went before Oryx and demanded his father kill Lokaar for his impudence. Oryx was instead amused and impressed by Lokaar's ability to escape Crota and instead raised her to his court before rebuking Crota for seeking him to kill a problem for him.<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Exalted_Hive#Lokaar|Lokaar]]''</ref> | |||

Crota was eventually tasked by Oryx to conquer [[Earth]] in the [[Sol System]] and destroy the [[Traveler]].<ref>Bungie (2014-9-9), Destiny, PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Activities#Rise_Of_Crota|Rise of Crota]]</ref><ref>Bungie (2014-9-9), Destiny, PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Activities#MUrns_of_Sacrifice|Urns of Sacrifice]]</ref> | |||
Crota and his spawn pursued the Traveler into the Sol System and conquered the Moon during the aftermath of the [[Collapse]], hollowing it out into a [[war moon]] where they laid dormant until they launched an invasion of Earth during the early [[City Age]]. The Guardians barely repealed the Hive offense at the [[Battle of Burning Lake]]; not realizing the true threat the Hive posed, they launched a counterattack on the moon, which was later called the Great Disaster. The Sword-Logic proved to be too much for the Guardians, as countless heroes fell before Crota's [[Blades of Crota|Blades]]; in particular, the legendary [[Titan (class)|Titan]] [[Wei Ning]] was slain personally by Crota himself, who lead the Hive's hordes to victory during the battle. | Crota and his spawn pursued the Traveler into the Sol System and conquered the Moon during the aftermath of the [[Collapse]], hollowing it out into a [[war moon]] where they laid dormant until they launched an invasion of Earth during the early [[City Age]].
