Panoptes is housed within a unique Vex armature, resembling a massive [[Hydra]] chassis with an angular [[Cyclops]] "head", two [[Minotaur]]esque arms, wing-like appendages, and numerous glowing [[Harpy]] "tentacles". Many components of its body float independently of one another.

Panoptes was one of the first Vex who came to Mercury and converted it from a garden world to a Vex Machine World. [[Sagira]] used this origin point to locate Panoptes’ lair by projecting time forward, identifying [[Infinity’s Crown]] as the location within the Infinite realities that the Vex Mind could be found.

*The term "Panoptes" translates to "all-seeing", and is a reference to "Argus Panoptes", a giant from Greek myth. It also alludes to the fact that Panoptes has the ability to see all possible realities.

*Panoptes could be considered the oldest and most powerful Vex the Guardians have encountered thus far.
 
*Panoptes bears an uncanny resemblance to [[Oryx, the Taken King]], from the wings to the pose. This is supported by the Books of Sorrow and by [[Paradox]], where Oryx and the Taken were the only things the Vex could not understand and thus feared to lose against; it would make sense the Vex would pattern one of their most powerful Minds off of Oryx.
