==Overview==
Nokris was originally the second son of Oryx, brother to [[Crota]], but was disfavored by his father for his physical weakness. To make up for that weakness, Nokris instead honed his mind, learning magic and hoarding knowledge. He devised a plan to prove himself to Oryx by communing with the [[Worm Gods]] as he once did; however, while he succeeded, most of the worms rejected the disfavored son. Only [[Xol, Will of the Thousands]] remained. Fearing an attack from [[Yul, the Honest Worm]], Xol made a pact with the forgotten child. Nokris traded his heart for some of Xol's power and the secret of resurrection. <ref>'''Bungie (2018/8/5)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Warmind (expansion)|Warmind]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Wormhusk Crown]]''</ref><ref>'''Bungie (2018/8/5)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Warmind (expansion)|Warmind]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Wormgod Caress]]''</ref><ref name="NarPre"/>

Oryx soon learned about his son's activities and was furious. Nokris's actions were sacrilege, and resurrection a heretical violation of the Sword Logic. For his crimes, the King of the Hive exiled him and removed all references of his disowned son from [[the World's Grave]] and the [[Books of Sorrow]].<ref name = "Verity's Brow">'''Bungie (2018/8/5)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Warmind (expansion)|Warmind]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Verity's Brow]]''</ref><ref name="GhostScan">'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Ghost]]: [http://www.ishtar-collective.net/transcripts/ghost-scan-nokris Ishtar Collective - Ghost Scan: Nokris]''</ref> Only a statue remained.
