- — Ghost[1]
Nokris, Herald of Xol is a Hive god[1][2], the son of Oryx[3] and the herald of the Worm God, Xol.[4]
Overview
Nokris was abandoned by his father, Oryx, for reasons unknown. However, fearing an attack from Akka, the Worm of Secrets, Xol made a pact with the forgotten child and the two departed to find a world to rule.[3]
The only reference to Nokris known to the Guardians prior to his awakening on Mars was a statue found in the Dreadnaught near the Altar of Oryx[5], beside similar statues of Crota and Oryx. The Guardian's Ghost infers it is a Hive god from the accompanying Hive glyphs but couldn't recognize the symbol.[1] There is no file associated with this entity from either the World's Grave or the Books of Sorrow.[1] At Eris Morn's request Asher Mir scoured his library for references to Nokris but found none.[6].

Trivia
- The word "Nokris" might be derived from "Noctuidae", which is a family of moth, the wing patterns of which resemble the Shroud of Flies Hunter Cloak pattern.[7] Similarly, "Nokri" is a Hebrew word for "alien" or "adulteress".[8] Relatedly, the prefix "Nok" could be a derivation of "Noc", or "Nocturnal", the Greek Goddess of the night; similarly, the Roman translation is "Nox".
