'''The Spider''', | '''The Spider''', born '''Rakis''', is the leader of a [[Fallen]] [[House of Spider|crime syndicate]] stretching from the [[Tangled Shore]] to the [[Last City]]. He was the planetary vendor of the Tangled Shore, and a powerful but ruthless ally of the [[Awoken]] of the [[Reef]] and the [[Guardian]]s of the [[Last City]]. | ||

After the Whirlwind, When many Eliksni were derelict in the void of space, Rakis and his brother | After the Whirlwind, When many Eliksni were derelict in the void of space, Rakis and his brother Siviks were given to Mithrax's Mother, [[Inaaks]], as hatchlings by Eramis, despite being able to take care of their own. The two would become reluctant friends of Misraaks and, because they were older than him, would protect him from other Eliksni adolescents looking to steal Misraaks's Ether when Inaaks wasn't looking. | ||
Many years later, Rakis and Siviks would both join Misraaks's crew of pirates. The abundance of [[Ether]] that came with their lifestyle turned Rakis into a particularly ruthless and bloodthirsty warrior. His brutality extended to all who crossed the [[House of Wolves]], and led to his fellow Eliksni offering a small fortune for his death. The bounty proved to be little deterrent to Rakis. Sometime after the [[Collapse]], Misraaks and his crew discovered a [[Colony ship]] filled with human survivors behind one of Mars' moons. The raiding party, led by Misraaks, Rakis, and Siviks, would slaughter many of the weak and malnourished humans, until they threw down their arms, begging to spare the lives of those who did not fight. When Misraaks then locked the remaining survivors in an airlock and attempted to jettison them into space, Rakis suggested that they be made to serve their House instead, with Siviks amusingly agreeing. Rakis attempted to release the survivors but was stopped by Misraaks. Attempting again, Rakis reached for the airlock controls. Misraaks, taking this gesture as disrespect toward his leadership, immediately evacuated the airlock into space, killing all the surviving humans. Rakis and Siviks, angered, fought back against this decision. Misraaks responded by killing half the Dregs loyal to Rakis and Siviks, before clashing with the brothers themselves. The battle ended in Misraaks' victory, and the brothers, along with their remaining crew, were marooned on an asteroid and left to fend for themselves.<ref name="Above All Else: IV - Promise">'''Bungie (2022/08/23)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[The Witch Queen]], [[Lore:Above All Else|Above All Else: IV - Promise]]''</ref> | Many years later, Rakis and Siviks would both join Misraaks's crew of pirates.

===Wrathborn Hunt=== | ===Wrathborn Hunt=== | ||
Following the | Following the [[Black Fleet]]’s return to the Sol System, the Tangled Shore comes under assault from the forces of [[Xivu Arath]], the Hive God of War, forcing the Spider and his syndicate on the defensive once more. Worse, Xivu Arath's forces make use of organic structures called [[Cryptolith]]s that drive Hive into a berserk state and corrupt other species to her service, called the [[Wrathborn]], some of which include members of the Spider's organization. The Spider soon meets with the Guardian once more after their mission on Luna ended bittersweetly; they managed to save the Warlock [[Osiris]] but his Ghost [[Sagira]] sacrificed herself to save her Guardian. To avenge Sagira and combat Xivu Arath, the Spider proposes a partnership with the Guardian to restore his territory and reopen the flow of Glimmer; they would hunt the Wrathborn and their leader, the [[High Celebrant of Xivu Arath]], and the Spider would provide the resources needed for such a hunt. | ||
During their exchange, the Guardian learned, to their shock, that Uldren Sov was revived as a Guardian and was in service to the Spider, known under the name of Crow. The Spider clarifies that he found Uldren wandering aimlessly in the Reef and while he could've captured him and sent him to the Tower, he knew full well what awaited them there. Instead, the Spider brought the Crow into his services as his personal agent and hunter. Despite how well Crow works for him, however, Spider planted a failsafe within the chassis of Crow's Ghost, Glint; if Crow "strays from his nest", then his Ghost will explode, killing them both. Regardless of the Guardian's personal ill-feelings towards the Crow, the Spider has them work with him to combat the Wrathborn and Xivu Arath, but makes them never mention the name Uldren Sov. | During their exchange, the Guardian learned, to their shock, that Uldren Sov was revived as a Guardian and was in service to the Spider, known under the name of Crow.
