After his mother discovered the Pyramid ship underneath the surface of Luna, Mithrax would inherit a severed finger of [[Nezarec]]'s corpse, beginning his rise in power amongst his kind. He would form his own pirate crew, with Rakis and Siviiks as members, becoming known as ruthless and savage. He was unafraid to target his own people if it meant becoming stronger or obtaining further riches, even going so far as to maroon his adoptive brothers on a remote asteroid. | After his mother discovered the Pyramid ship underneath the surface of Luna, Mithrax would inherit a severed finger of [[Nezarec]]'s corpse, beginning his rise in power amongst his kind.

One of Misraaks's earliest adventures in human space would be his capture by [[Sjur Eido]], transported aboard a [[Galliot]] with all four of his arms bound behind his back. Due to not being killed outright by Sjur, Misraaks believed that she intended to torture him, but vowed that it would not work and that he would never yield like the [[House of Judgment]] to the [[Awoken]]. He also believed that nothing the Awoken could do to him would compare to the shame and dishonor he already felt at being held captive. Upon landing in the [[Dreaming City]], Misraaks stepped out of the Galliot into a garden, imagining as he did so that his mother would dock his arms with nothing but her own brute strength and would willingly welcome death by [[Ether]] starvation to make up for his shame. Sjur began speaking to him in a language he did not understand and placed a hand on his shoulder. Misraaks was surprised by how strong her grip felt despite lacking claws, but he quickly noted her quiver held only one arrow for her bow and believed her to be stupid as they stared at the gardens. He quickly swept her legs out from under her and began charging towards a nearby cliff edge, seeking to kill himself to erase his shame and hoped his mother would soon forget him. However, Sjur caught one of his feet as he began to fall and hauled him back onto the cliff despite his attempts to drag her down with him.<ref name="Misraaks">'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]], Activision Blizzard - [[Lore]]: [[Lore:The_Dreaming_City#Misraaks| | One of Misraaks's earliest adventures in human space would be his capture by [[Sjur Eido]], transported aboard a [[Galliot]] with all four of his arms bound behind his back.

Sjur quickly bound Misraaks's feet to prevent him from attempting suicide again. Unable to do anything but glower at his captor and hate her weak human form, he was caught off-guard when she suddenly drew two fractal knives and performed an ireliis bow towards him. Stunned by the display of peace, Misraaks quickly felt a sense of fury and believed it to be some kind of trick but responded correctly to the gesture. Sjur continued to perform the ritual of supplication, even speaking in Eliksni, which caused him to feel a fresh sense of betrayal and wonder how many secrets of the Fallen had been told to the Awoken by those who had surrendered to their rule. Despite his feelings, when Sjur placed the knife between them and introduced herself, Misraaks was honor bound to respond in kind and attempted to state her name back, although he found it difficult. The Awoken had trouble with his name as well, pronouncing it as Mithrax, but welcomed him to the Dreaming City and proposed they look around.<ref name="Misraaks"/> | Sjur quickly bound Misraaks's feet to prevent him from attempting suicide again.

Following the events on Titan, Mithrax returned to the [[Tangled Shore]] and reflected upon recent events.

Mithrax decided to visit the [[Sjursrest|tomb]] of Sjur before setting out on his new quest in order to pay his respects to the friend who had started him down this path. The Hunter and Warlock accompanied him on this journey, taking the chance to learn more about Eliksni culture. As Mithrax stood upon a ruined [[Skiff]] and scanned the horizon of the Tangled Shore, attempting to recall the way to Sjursrest, the Hunter asked why the [[House of Wolves]] was named such and wondered if there were wolves on [[Riis]]. Mithrax explained that the Eliksni had adopted many new names upon arriving in the [[Solar System]], noting his own name change from Misraaks to Mithrax, in order to better fit what they had become. Recognizing several landmarks and remembering the way to the tomb, Mithrax leapt down from the Skiff and stated that the Wolves had once been weavers on their homeworld before becoming the savage House that humanity knew.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]], Activision Blizzard - [[Lord of Wolves]]''</ref> | Mithrax decided to visit the [[Sjursrest|tomb]] of Sjur before setting out on his new quest in order to pay his respects to the friend who had started him down this path.

Entering the cave which housed Sjur's tomb, the three friends continued their discussion of Eliksni history. As the Warlock explained the [[Reef Wars]], the Hunter became confused as to why Queen [[Mara Sov]] had accepted the defeated Wolves as her bodyguards, considering it strange to trust enemies, before apologizing to Mithrax for any offense. Taking none, Mithrax explained that it was strange, but that the Wolves and Eliksni had honor and would have always followed the will of Mara had [[Skolas, Kell of Kells|Skolas]] not reemerged, as old oaths overrode newer ones. At last reaching Sjur's tomb, Mithrax approached it and knelt in silence as his companions stayed back. After a time, the Warlock questioned if Mithrax was ready. Rising, Mithrax declared his intent to end the divide amongst his people and reject the ways of [[Variks, the Loyal]] and [[The Spider]]. He vowed to follow the truths that Sjur had showed him and become the [[Kell]] of all open-minded Eliksni who could work with humanity and fight alongside them for the Traveler together.<ref name="QB"/> | Entering the cave which housed Sjur's tomb, the three friends continued their discussion of Eliksni history.

With his friends by his side, Mithrax founded the [[House of Light]] and sought out other Eliksni who were willing to work with humanity and follow him as Kell. He began conducting operations in support of humanity alongside his friends.
