Ironically, in accordance to the [[Books of Sorrow]], Oryx intended this, as it would be his final means of maintaining his immortality through the continued use of his Ravenous Heart to feed, as well as mantling the one who vanquished him as his successor to the Osmium Throne.

Known as The First Navigator in life, Oryx's defeat would leave the Hive and the Taken leaderless within the Solar System, but unfortunately they were still enough of a threat that the Guardians continued to fight them. The Taken in particular, languished without their master's power and continued to decay unless someone took Oryx's place. Two individuals in particular would attempt to assume Oryx's throne, [[Alak-Hul, the Darkblade]] and [[Malok, Pride of Oryx]]. However, both were quickly killed by the same Guardians who defeated Oryx before either could take up the mantle of the Taken King. A third individual, [[Noru'usk, Servant of Oryx]], attempted to flee the [[Prison of Elders]] but was slain by a Guardian fireteam before he could assume the throne. | Known as The First Navigator in life, Oryx's defeat would leave the Hive and the Taken leaderless within the Solar System, but unfortunately they were still enough of a threat that the Guardians continued to fight them.
