Nokris was originally the second son of Oryx, younger 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 to grant him an audience. 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"/> | Nokris was originally the second son of Oryx, younger brother to [[Crota]], but was disfavored by his father for his physical weakness.

Nokris was unperturbed. In exile he saw freedom and opportunity. He informed Xol that he would conquer the planet [[Mars]] in his name.

===War with The Warmind=== | ===War with The Warmind=== | ||
After the deaths of Oryx and Crota and the end of the [[Red War]], many years later, Nokris and his master were awakened when their entrapping ice began to melt. Together, they sought the destruction of the [[Warmind]] [[Rasputin]] for delaying them and allow them to rule the planet. However, interference came in the form of the [[Guardian]] working with [[Ana Bray]]. Nokris encountered the Guardian during their mission of using a shard of the Traveler as bait to lure Xol and destroy him. However, Nokris faced them instead and fought the Guardian in a fierce battle. Despite his power, Nokris was defeated and his master soon fell to the hands of the Guardian with the aid of Rasputin afterwards. | |||
