Reborn in the [[Darkness]] itself through a wicked pact with the [[Worm Gods]], Oryx is the founder of the Hive race alongside his sisters and fellow deities, [[Savathûn, the Witch Queen]] and [[Xivu Arath, God of War]]. Of all the Hive gods, he alone held the power to bend other races to his will through the power to [[Taken|Take]]. Oryx is also the father of the dreaded [[Crota, Son of Oryx|Crota]], a deadly Hive Prince who slew thousands of [[Guardian]]s during [[the Great Disaster]], | Reborn in the [[Darkness]] itself through a wicked pact with the [[Worm Gods]], Oryx is the founder of the Hive race alongside his sisters and fellow deities, [[Savathûn, the Witch Queen]] and [[Xivu Arath, God of War]].

Oryx is also the father of the dreaded [[Crota, Son of Oryx|Crota]], a deadly Hive Prince who slew thousands of [[Guardian]]s during [[the Great Disaster]], [[Nokris]], his estranged firstborn and herald of the Worm God [[Xol]], as well as two [[Deathsinger]]s and inventors of the [[Oversoul]], twins [[Ir Anûk, Deathsinger|Ir Anûk]] and [[Ir Halak, Deathsinger|Ir Halak]]. | ||
Enraged at the death of Crota, Oryx traveled to the [[Sol System]] aboard his [[Dreadnaught]] seeking revenge but was defeated by the [[The Guardian|Guardian]] and escaped to his throne world. His second match with the Guardians resulted in his permanent loss and ended the threat he posed to the Sol System. | Enraged at the death of Crota, Oryx traveled to the [[Sol System]] aboard his [[Dreadnaught]] seeking revenge but was defeated by the [[The Guardian|Guardian]] and escaped to his throne world.

In [[Season of Arrivals]], Oryx's son Nokris would continuously pull the Guardian between the physical and Ascendant realm, and eventually challenge them to a duel in the [[High Coven|court of Savathûn]]. The architecture of the arena, as well as the whole court, bears a striking resemblance to Oryx's throne world; it is unknown whether it was only a creative decision by Bungie or a hint towards the Witch Queen incorporating parts of the Dreadnaught into her own court after Oryx's demise. | In [[Season of Arrivals]], Oryx's son Nokris would continuously pull the Guardian between the physical and Ascendant realm, and eventually challenge them to a duel in the [[High Coven|court of Savathûn]].

In [[The Witch Queen]] the Hive Ghost [[Fynch]] led the Guardian to a [[Temple of the Navigator|temple]] Savathûn had built in her [[Savathûn's Throne World|throne world]] and dedicated to her brother. Guarded by Oryx's foster son [[Alak-Hul, the Darkblade|Alak-Hul]] now resurrected in the Light as the Lightblade, it houses an enormous statue of Oryx defeating with Akka. More importantly to the mission, though, it also turned out to be the resting spot of one of the Tablets of Ruin. | |||
