Once a disgraced machine priest,{{citation needed}} Aksis returned to his broken House after the recent loss of its Archon and [[Prime Servitor]]. With little opposition and with the desperate state of the Devils, Aksis claimed the title of Archon and began a campaign to return the House of Devils to power. Aksis ordered the Devils and the Splicers to find and pillage every Golden Age research lab they could find for anything that could aid them. Their efforts proved fruitful as they had found [[SIVA]], a dangerous nanotechnology from the [[Golden Age]], deep in the walled-off [[Plaguelands]]. Aksis was among those who believed they could use SIVA to become the machines they worshiped, instead of just finding another god to worship. Within the SIVA server farm, Aksis modified himself with SIVA extensively in pursuit of godhood, to the point where he was more machine than [[Fallen]] and had lost all need for [[Ether]]. In his new "ascended" state, Aksis named himself Archon Prime and begun the mission to spread SIVA to the rest of the Fallen and destroy the [[Guardians]].  

He lurked in his [[Perfection Complex]] deep beneath the [[Cosmodrome]] while his Splicers gathered SIVA offerings for him as tribute. As of the [[SIVA Crisis]], he is the most powerful Fallen to have ever existed, until a fireteam of [[Guardian]]s assassinates him within his Perfection Complex.

Phase two has a completely different structure. Aksis' upper body will detach from the ceiling and connect with his lower body, which has muliple spider-like legs, thus revealing his true form. He will stay in the center of the room and hammer you with suppressive fire from afar using his SIVA cannon, which has two separate firing modes. The first firing mode is a single [[Solar]] bolt that generates a large SIVA Swarm upon detonation. These swarms greatly obscure the player's vision and rapidly eat away at their health. The second firing mode is a barrage of multiple projectiles that have a large blast radius. While Aksis is doing this, he will, again, remain fully immune to all attacks until three SIVA Charges are thrown at him, using the same strategy from phase one. Once this has happened, Aksis will teleport to another location, and one random Guardian will become "Empowered". The Guardian with this buff must run up to him and attack his vulnerable backside. This will momentarily stun him, thus beginning the damage phase. This damage phase will happen three times in a row before he teleports back to the center of the room to fill the room with a critical density of SIVA. Once this happens you must go to the back of the room where there will be four lit pillars. Your entire team must jump on the same pillar only due to the fact that when your team uses a pillar it will go dark and you cannot use it again. But if your entire team successfully gets to a pillar, you will survive the crisis and the phase will start again. Please note that when Aksis gets to about 5% health he will teleport to the center and he will start self-destruct mode in a last ditch effort to kill you. You need to shoot and kill him quickly before he wipes your team.
