'''The Spider''', born | '''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]]. | ||
He aided the Guardians in tracking down the [[Scorn|Scorned Barons]], putting an end to his [[Siviks, Lost to None|brother's]] rival [[Kell's Scourge| | He aided the Guardians in tracking down the [[Scorn|Scorned Barons]], putting an end to his [[Siviks, Lost to None|brother's]] rival [[Kell's Scourge|syndicate]], and stopping the spread of the [[Wrathborn]] in [[The Reef|the Reef]]. | ||
After running afoul of [[Mara Sov]], he went into hiding within the [[Eliksni Quarter]] and threw his lot in with the [[House of Light]].

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.
