"The Eliksni must update our approach if we are ever to rise. Either join us as we march toward progress… Or be swept aside with the vestigialities."
— Praksis.

Praksis, the Technocrat is a Fallen from the House of Salvation and one of the most trusted lieutenants for Eramis, Kell of Darkness. Praksis is a skilled Stasis wielder and is as lethal as loyal; who will stop at nothing to advance Eramis's cause.

He is responsible for creating the technology that allows House Salvation to wield Darkness and also has a fondness for the Vex and seeks to use them to improve Eliksni technology.[1] He lobbied to Eramis to use the Vex, so he can reverse engineer them and reassemble their parts into new technology.[2]

Biography

Personality and Traits

Praksis is a consummate "mad scientist", obsessed with developing new technologies and gathering scientific data with little regard for ethics.

Variks, the Loyal was distrustful of Praksis as he thought he was too young and secretive, while also too self absorbed in his creations which were his legacy.[3][4]

Trivia

  • Praksis's title is the same as Kargen, the Technocrat.
  • Originally in the first trailer for Beyond Light, Praksis had blue eyes. However, his eyes became purple.
  • When the Guardian corners and defeats Praksis, he arrives by riding on a Shank, making him the second character to ride a Shank in Destiny 2, with the first being Cayde-6.
  • Praksis is the only male member of the dark council of Eramis, Kell of Darkness, with the rest being female.
  • When fighting Praksis, if the Guardian is an Exo, Praksis will ask "How does it feel to be where you were created?" in reference to the battle being fought in Bray Exoscience.
