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.

==Gameplay==
==Gameplay==
Aksor, Archon Priest has two main abilities consistent with most [[Fallen]] Bosses: Teleportation and a Ultra Smash. He often teleports between locations in order to get a clear shot at targets or disrupt a shooter's line of sight, covering a great distance with this ability. 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. For ranged combat, he uses a [[Shrapnel Launcher]], firing 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.

When combatants close within melee range, he employs a devastating area of effect stomp attack, known as: Ultra Smash.

It is possible, however, to stun 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.

==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.

**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]].
