'''Hiraks, the Mindbender''', is a [[Baron]] of the [[Scorn]], and an Ascendant Eliksni. A year after the events of the [[Red War]], [[Uldren Sov]] freed him along with seven other Scorn Barons, and worked together to orchestrate a massive breakout from the [[Prison of Elders]]. After the murder of [[Cayde-6]] at Uldren's hands, Hiraks fled the scene alongside the prince and his fellow barons to the [[Tangled Shore]]. He has the ability to summon [[Hive]] combatants and wields a [[Knight]]'s [[Boomer]] in battle. He reigns over a throne world, which is identified only as "[[Ascendant Plane]]". | '''Hiraks, the Mindbender''', is a [[Baron]] of the [[Scorn]], and an Ascendant Eliksni.

Hiraks mainly fights [[The Guardian]] with his [[Scorn Boomer]], which has a faster cyclic rate and greater range than a typical Hive [[Boomer]]. The explosive [[Arc]] bolts discharged from the weapon can quickly blast through a Guardian's shield and health. He will stomp the ground at close range, knocking players back a significant distance and dealing massive damage to them in an instant. In addition, he is backed by Hive units instead of Scorn, and will use [[Void]] Ether-Shields to completely negate all damage dealt to him as well as his reinforcements. Occasionally, he will run through a Hive portal and appear on the other side to both summon more Hive backup and flank the player. The main weakness of Hiraks is his slow movement, making it possible to outmaneuver him in combat. | Hiraks mainly fights [[The Guardian]] with his [[Scorn Boomer]], which has a faster cyclic rate and greater range than a typical Hive [[Boomer]].
