Oryx, the Taken King: Difference between revisions

Known as The First Navigator in life, Oryx's permanent death 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.

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.
