| ==Biography== | | ==Biography== |
| Much of Praksis's life was unknown before he was captured. A former member of the [[House of Wolves]], he was placed in a cell next to [[Eramis, Kell of Darkness]], whom he would later converse with for a majority of his incarceration in the [[Prison of Elders]]. During the mass breakout orchestrated by the [[Scorn]], Praksis escaped with Eramis. Later, during the formation of the [[House of Salvation]], he was invited to join by Eramis, which he accepted after a discussion in the prison which made him question his belief in the [[Traveler]]. After which Praksis arrived on Europa to find Eramis along with [[Phylaks]], [[Kridis]], [[Atraks]], and to his suprise, [[Variks]]. After Variks stole a [[Splinter of Darkness]], Praksis and his soldiers broke into [[Bray Exoscience]] and set up shop in [[Eternity]]. When the [[Guardian]] arrived to kill him, Praksis traveled to the main area of Eternity to try and fight off the Guardian, to which he failed, not only depraving the House of Salvation of a major leader, but also preventing any more of them from being empowered with [[Stasis]].

| Praksis is fought in [[The Technocrat]] mission. He will fire on his opponents with a [[Shrapnel Launcher]], and will send them flying backward with an Ultra Smash should they get too close. He will also occasionally teleport in order to get a good shot at the player. Praksis also has the ability to conjure and throw Stasis grenades that can either generate a field that slows down and eventually freezes the player, or sends a wave of ice on impact to seek out and instantly freeze the player. When he has lost a significant portion of his health, Praksis will summon shield drones that will surround him in an immunity shield until they are all destroyed. The shield drones will hover stationary in different spots of the arena, and the number of them will increase the more health Praksis loses until he is defeated.
