Armed with massive [[Shrieker]]s belonging to Savathûn, called: [[Savathûn's Witness]]es, the Supplicant would shroud the [[Cradle]] with the Witch Queen's influence and even lay a trap out for [[Eris Morn]] and the [[Guardian]]; threatening the life of the former and pulling the latter into a counterfeit [[Court of Savathûn (Io)|version]] of the Witch Queen's [[Court of Savathûn|throne world]] within the [[Ascendant Plane]]. Eris barely survives her encounter and in turn saves the Guardian from the full force of the [[Shrieker]]s.<ref>'''Bungie (2020/6/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of Arrivals]], [https://www.ishtar-collective.net/transcripts/a-shadow-overhead A Shadow Overhead]''</ref> | ||
For a period of eighteen weeks, Nokris commands armies of Hive and the [[Taken]] to swarm the Tree and shroud it in Savathûn's influence with one of her Shriekers, barring the Black Fleet's communications directly with Eris and the Guardians. Each week, the [[Guardian]]s would face one of the massive Shriekers at the Cradle before they are summoned back to the Ascendant Plane, to which Nokris mocks them in whispers and even insult their [[Ghost]] at one point, drawing comparisons to a [[Worm]]. Nonetheless, the Guardian's efforts wore proven successful at destroying the massive Shriekers and allowing Eris to briefly interpret the Black Fleet's messages with the [[Seed of Silver Wings]].<ref>'''Bungie (2020/6/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of Arrivals]], [https://www.ishtar-collective.net/transcripts/quest-interference-means-to-an-end-week-1#interference Interference, Means to an End]''</ref> | For a period of eighteen weeks, Nokris commands armies of Hive and the [[Taken]] to swarm the Tree and shroud it in Savathûn's influence with one of her Shriekers, barring the Black Fleet's communications directly with Eris and the Guardians.

The disowned son appears to look down on his father, brother, and later [[Xol, Will of the Thousands|Xol]] after his god had abandoned him, stating to the [[The Guardian|Guardian]] that they were all gods with gods. But like his father Nokris has a hunger for knowledge and secrets, he would bargain with the [[Worms|Worm God]], Xol to learn and gain some of his power, including the secret of [[Necromancy]].

He believed that the [[Light]] and [[Darkness]] as forces that have strengths and weaknesses, stating that the Sky was vast but shallow, and the Deep was boundless but suffocating, and that there is another way. | ||
