Brother of [[Crota]], Nokris was disfavored by his father for his physical weakness. To make up for that weakness, Nokris instead honed his mind, learning magic and hoarding knowledge. He devised a plan to prove himself to Oryx by communing with the [[Worm Gods]] as he once did; however, while he succeeded, most of the worms rejected the disfavored son. Only [[Xol, Will of the Thousands]] remained to grant him an audience. Fearing an attack from [[Yul, the Honest Worm]], Xol made a pact with the forgotten child. Nokris traded his heart for some of Xol's power and the secret of necromancy. <ref>'''Bungie (2018/8/5)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Warmind (expansion)|Warmind]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Wormhusk Crown]]''</ref><ref>'''Bungie (2018/8/5)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Warmind (expansion)|Warmind]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Wormgod Caress]]''</ref><ref name="NarPre"/> | Brother of [[Crota]], Nokris was disfavored by his father for his physical weakness.

Oryx soon learned about his son's activities and was furious. Nokris's actions were sacrilege, and [[necromancy]] was considered a heretical violation of the [[Sword Logic]], for it disrupts the means of survival of the fittest.
