==Biography==
==Biography==
A servant of [[Kaliks Prime]], Aksor served as the [[Archon]] of the [[House of Wolves]] during the [[Reef Wars]]. He was responsible for numerous campaigns against both [[Awoken]] enclaves and [[Human]] settlements.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Fallen_Leadership#Aksor, Archon Priest|Aksor, Archon Priest]]''</ref>

He was later imprisoned and sent to the [[Prison of Elders]] within the [[Reef]]. Desiring to recruit the former Archon to their House, the [[House of Winter]] hired the notorious mercenary, [[Taniks, the Scarred]], to successfully break Aksor out. Taniks himself had a strong enmity against Aksor for being an impotent Archon, but had to resist the urge to free others such as [[Calzar, Scarred Captain|Calzar]], [[Pirsis, Pallas-Bane|Pirsis]]  and [[Eramis]], who he deemed to be better Eliksni Warriors than Aksor, instead upping the price to free Aksor.<ref>'''Bungie (2020/10/11)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Beyond Light]], Playstation 4,  [[Lore:The_Once-Shipstealer#XIV._The_Scarred|XIV. The Scarred]]''</ref>
== Gameplay==
Aksor, Archon Priest has two main abilities consistent with most [[Fallen]] Bosses: Teleportation and an Ultra Smash. He often teleports between locations in order to get a clear shot at targets or disrupt a shooter's line of sight. He can cover a great distance with this ability. When combatants close within melee range, he employs a devastating area of effect stomp attack, known as: Ultra Smash. He uses this attack fairly often as he normally attempts to corner Guardians into an area where they cannot run. For ranged combat, he uses a Shrapnel Launcher. He fires this weapon at an incredibly fast rate, comparable to the [[MIDA Multi-Tool]], allowing him to take down Guardians quickly so he can switch to his next target.  


After Taniks successfully freed the Archon, the Winter Fallen began trying to restore his soul, transporting him to [[Winter's Run (location)|Winter's Run]] in order to do so.<ref>[https://www.ishtar-collective.net/cards/winters-run?highlight=soul Winter's Run]</ref><ref>'''Bungie (2015/5/19)''', ''[[Destiny]], [[House of Wolves]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Fallen_Leadership#Taniks, the Scarred|Taniks, the Scarred]]''</ref> He was later freed from his capsule after the [[Guardian]]s invaded the Winter stronghold to kill him, meeting his end after a battle against the invading fireteam.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Winter's Run]]''</ref>
It is, however, possible to stunlock Aksor with sustained headshots, allowing the player to keep him pinned down and deal as much damage as possible. Repeated headshots can melt his health within seconds.

When combatants are close within melee range, he employs an Ultra Smash attack to push his combatants back, or worse, kill them if they are at certain amount of health. He uses this attack fairly often, as he normally attempts to corner Guardians into an area where they cannot run.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*Though Aksor is a member of the [[House of Wolves]] in lore, his killcam shows no affiliation to any house. But his robes and color scheme suggest he is a member of the [[House of Kings]], and around his cyropod are numerous King banners.
*Aksor is presumably a member of the [[House of Wolves]] based on his lore, but his killcam shows no affiliation to any house (although his robes and color scheme suggest he is a member of the [[House of Kings]] and strangely around his cell there are numerous King banners instead of [[House of Winter|Winter]] ones).
**The [[Archon Servant]]s who serve [[Kaliks Reborn]] in the Prison of Elders also supposedly belong to the [[House of Kings]]. However, Kaliks Reborn is colored gold as well, indicating that the colors may symbolize [[Kaliks Prime]].
**[[Archon Servant]]s found in the Prison of Elders also belong to the [[House of Kings]] and serve [[Kaliks Reborn]]. This adds speculation as to whether Aksor belonged to the House of Kings.
*In the [[Taken]] version of the Winter's Run strike, Aksor is replaced by a taken known as [[Nixis, Hunger of Oryx]].
***Although, the colors may signify [[Kaliks Prime]], since [[Kaliks Reborn]]’s central eye is yellow, just like it’s servants. Meaning it’s possible that it hints to Kaliks Prime. 
*[[Keldar, Archon Priest]] has a stronger authority than Aksor, for he is a servant of [[Orbiks Prime]], and Orbiks servitors have authority over Kaliks servitors.
*In the [[Taken]] version of the Winter's Run strike, Aksor is replaced as the Strike's boss by [[Nixis, Hunger of Oryx]].
*According to the Grimoire "Aksor initiated brutal crusades against human settlements beyond the City" before he was captured by the Reef.
*Aksor is the first [[Archon]] to be featured in a strike and the only strike Archon to be [[Fallen]].
*Although having the title of an Archon, [[Keldar, Archon Priest]] has a stronger authority than Aksor because, even though a servent of Kaliks Prime, Keldar is a servent of [[Orbiks Prime]]. To make things clear, Orbiks servitors have authority over Kaliks servitors.
*Aksor in indonesian means landslide.
