==Biography== | |||
The Rifleman was once blind when he was scorned by his House, he then was implanted with a cybernetic eye that was linked to a tracking system in his [[Scorn Crossbow|Scorn Launcher]], he is likened to infamous Fallen assimilated to machinery such as [[Taniks, the Scarred]] and [[House of Devils]] [[Splicers]] with [[SIVA]], he lurks in the [[Hellrise Canyon]], with his all-seeing eye and being a crack-shot where he lures unwary travelers into an impenetrable security network before eliminating them from afar, removing any threats such as [[Corsair]]s which let his fellow Barons plan their next move.<ref name="GIBarons"/> He is a [[Raider]] class Scorn leader. He was credited for the deaths of many palace guards during the [[House of Wolves]] uprising.<ref>[https://www.ishtar-collective.net/entries/a-blind-eye-toward-tomorrow?highlight=Pirrha A Blind Eye Toward's Tomorrow]</ref> Pirrha Responsible for the deaths of [[Awoken]] [[Paladin]]s [[Tellos Cir]], [[Loris Pol]], and [[Hollis Eso]] at Pallas Falls, Pirrha is also known to have destroyed multiple [[Ghosts]].

Pirrha's main weapon of choice is a [[Scorn Crossbow]], which fires powerful charged [[Void]] arrows from long range that can easily hit their mark; their high damage can crack a [[Guardian]]'s shield in an instant. When faced at closer ranges, he will teleport or smoke dash to evade and flank the player, and if cornered, he will stomp the ground to knock them back. His most devastating ability, however, is the use of decoys. The decoys can easily distract unprepared Guardians and overwhelm them with constant crossbow fire, although they are easily destroyed. If his use of numerous simultaneous decoys proves bothersome, one can deactivate them en masse with a few shots each from a high ammo capacity weapon capable of automatic fire, before focusing their firepower on Pirrha himself. | Pirrha's main weapon of choice is a [[Scorn Crossbow]], which fires powerful charged [[Void]] arrows from long range that can easily hit their mark; their high damage can crack a [[Guardian]]'s shield in an instant.
