Known as The First Navigator in life, Oryx's permanent defeat would leave the Hive and the Taken leaderless within the Solar System, but unfortunately still a threat that the Guardians have to continue fighting. The Taken in particular languish without their master's power and would continue to decay unless someone takes Oryx's place. Two individuals in particular would attempt to assume Oryx's throne, [[Alak-Hul, the Darkblade]] and [[Malok, Pride of Oryx]]. However, both were quickly killed by the same Guardians who defeated Oryx before either could take the mantle of the Taken King. A third individual, [[Noru'usk, Servant of Oryx]], attempted to flee the [[Prison of Elders]] but was slain by a fireteam before he could assume the throne. | Known as The First Navigator in life, Oryx's permanent defeat would leave the Hive and the Taken leaderless within the Solar System, but unfortunately still a threat that the Guardians have to continue fighting.

After the end of the Red War and the Reawakening of the Traveler, in the frozen ice caps of Mars, the Worm God [[Xol]] awakens to destroy the Warmind core of [[Rasputin]]. Leading the Worm's army is Oryx's lost and disowned son, [[Nokris]]. However, like Crota and Oryx, Nokris would fail against the Guardians and Xol followed shortly after. However Xol would find a way to cheat death by transforming into the [[Whisper of the Worm]], in the same manner that Oryx had done. | After the end of the Red War and the Reawakening of the Traveler, in the frozen ice caps of Mars, the Worm God [[Xol]] awakens to destroy the Warmind core of [[Rasputin]].

At a later date, during the chaos that engulfed the Reef, Savathûn gained a new and powerful ally in the Ahamkara Oryx took during the beginning of the Taken War, [[Riven]]. It is implied that Oryx made a bargain of sorts with the Ahamkara and his death at the hands of the Guardians meant that he lost that bargain. Nonetheless, without a master, Riven was aimless until the Witch-Queen encountered her and the wish-making creature agreed to serve her, allowing her to be closer to gaining full control over the Taken. Though Riven would ultimately fall to the same Warrior of Light that slew Oryx, her death would allow the Dreaming City to be Taken. However, Oryx's youngest sister, [[Xivu Arath]], the Hive God of War, has also begun a campaign to assume lordship over the Hive and Taken. This will likely lead to a feud between the Hive God sisters over who will be the new lord and master over the Hive species and the Taken. | |||
