After [[Oryx, the Taken King|Oryx]] fought his way out of the [[Ascendant realm|Deep]] after being trapped within by his sister [[Savathûn, the Witch Queen|Savathûn]] and [[Xivu Arath, God of War|Xivu Arath]], he decided that he needed children to carry on his lineage and ensure his flow of tribute was always greater than that of his siblings. Crota was thus born, and his father explained to him why he had created him and granted him a sword and a name, stating those would be the only things that he gave his son and that Crota would have to earn his place upon his father's court, the High War. The newborn Crota continued to listen as his father explained the "trap" of the [[Traveler]] in giving species hope that there was a path in the universe that did not involve conflict, and thus gave Crota the name Eater of Hope in anticipation of the lives and dreams he would snuff out.

At some point Oryx set one of the Tablet of Ruins into [[Golgoroth]]; a creation of the traitorous Worm God [[Xol]], as a rebuttal of Crota's demands to claim it.

However, as Oryx departed to observe the destruction of an alien fortress world by the Darkness, Crota was influenced by Savathûn and arrogantly decided that he too could cut a wound in the universe to match his sister's power and learn new secret. The space he cut into was one unknown to his sisters, but desired by Savathûn, and from it poured the [[Vex]], who proceeded to invade Oryx's throne world.<ref name="PoD">'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]], Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Books_of_Sorrow#XXXVIII:_The_partition_of_death|XXXVIII: The partition of death]]''</ref> Crota engaged the Vex in battle as they struggled to understand [[The Sword Logic]], but they then manifested [[Quria, Blade Transform]] who grasped the logic and became determined to become the new god of Oryx's throne world. The Vex teleported away from Crota and slaughtered thousands of Hive throughout the dimension, granting them greater power. Crota and his sisters fought the Vex and created new weapons to defeat them, but Quria fled to the other side of the wound created by Crota and built gates to prevent him from closing it. After a century of stalemate, the war was ended when Oryx was summoned back by [[Eir, the Keeper of Order]].<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]], Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Books_of_Sorrow#XXXIX:_open_your_eye_:_go_into_it|XXXIX: open your eye : go into it]]''</ref> | ||
Although Oryx saved his throne world from the Vex and became intrigued by their fascination with geometry, he punished Crota for his reckless experiments. Grabbing him one of his legs, the Taken King flung his progeny into the Vex gate network and ordered him to return home covered in glory or not at all. For centuries Crota traversed the Vex's network and fought across space and time, becoming a demon in many cultures. As time passed, he adjusted his tactics as he gained a greater understanding of his father and ceased to spare some of his victims whom he complained about his father too, and instead built mighty temples and monuments to himself to increase his power through tribute, strengthening himself and his father.<ref name="EO">'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]], Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Books_of_Sorrow#XL:_An_Emperor_For_All_Outcomes|XL: An Emperor For All Outcomes]]''</ref> | Although Oryx saved his throne world from the Vex and became intrigued by their fascination with geometry, he punished Crota for his reckless experiments.
