{{Quote|I cast off my carapace to be [[Exo|reborn]], just like our glorious [[Riis]].|Atraks-1}}

'''Atraks-1, Fallen Exo''' (formerly known as '''Atraks, the Wildcard''') is a [[Fallen]] commander from the [[House of Salvation]]. She is a [[Baron]] serving for [[Eramis, Kell of Darkness]] and a member of her inner council.

She was ordered by Eramis to secure the [[Deep Stone Crypt]], where she uploaded her consciousness into an Eliksni-based [[Exo|Exomind]]; able to duplicate herself into multiple Replication copies.

==Biography==
===Early History===
{{Quote|I am Atraks, the Wildcard, and I have been charged by my [[Kell]] to speak to the youth of the Eliksni. Those who, like me, have never known a life that wasn't wandering.

The Wildcard|The Wildcard]]''</ref>

Following the collapse of [[Riis]] from the [[Whirlwind]], the [[Eliksni]] left their homeworld and sought salvation by desperately chasing the [[Great Machine]] through space for centuries.<ref name="Fallen 3">'''Bungie (2014/5/19)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[House of Wolves (expansion)|House of Wolves]], PlayStation 4, [[Grimoire]]:[[Grimoire:Enemies/Fallen#Ghost_Fragment:_Fallen_3| Ghost Fragment: Fallen 3]]''</ref> During the [[Long Drift]], the Eliksni raised their clans and offspring in their [[Ketch|starships]] and turned them into family homes.<ref name="Kin">'''Bungie (2020/11/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Beyond Light]], PlayStation 4, [[Lore]]: [[Lore:Call_of_the_Cryptolith#II. RATIONS|II. RATIONS]]''</ref> Atraks was among a new generation of Eliksni that were born in space and regarded to be unlucky as they had no memories of Riis apart from knowledge retold in stories.<ref name="Wild"/>

===Demise of the Devils===

{{quote|You are too young to remember the old house. What the Devils were before.|Eramis}}

Following the escape of [[Eramis]] from the [[Prison of Elders]], the [[Baroness]] returned to the remnants [[House of Devils]] and attempted to rebuild them to their former glory. Atraks was amongst those who answered Eramis's call to return to the old ways and became the youngest member of the aspiring Devil Kell's council.<ref name="Visionary">'''Bungie (2020/11/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Beyond Light]], PlayStation 4, [[Lore]]: [[Lore:The Once-Shipstealer#IV. The Visionary|The Visionary]]''</ref> 

After the Devils failed to steal a [[Outbreak Perfected|SIVA weapon]] from the Last City, Eramis became frustrated and felt humiliated for losing to the young [[Mithrax]] while seated at her [[Ketch]]. Atraks watched from a distance and addressed her as Kell, but Eramis bitterly told her not take their failure to heart as Atraks was too young to remember the true prowess of the old Devils. Atraks replied with optimism by stating that while she was young, her eyes were clear and that she could see the new potential of the Devils. Eramis was hit with a moment of clarity and took inspiration from Atraks' words. She declared that the Devils were dead and they must become something new.<ref name="Visionary"/>

===The Dark Empire===

{{quote|Atraks... Kridis and I can handle this. Return to the Crypt and prepare the body.|[[Eramis, Kell of Darkness]]}}

Atraks journeyed with Eramis to [[Europa]], where they began construction of [[Riis-Reborn]], a new Eliksni city built amongst the [[Eventide Ruins|ruins]] of [[Eventide]], a [[Golden Age]] human colony. Alongside fellow councilors [[Variks, the Loyal|Variks]] and [[Praksis, the Technocrat|Praksis]] she greeted the arrival of Eramis's old friends [[Phylaks, the Warrior|Phylaks]] and [[Kridis, Dark Priestess|Kridis]]. Atraks did not intervene when Phylaks assaulted Variks for his past betrayals of the Eliksni before Eramis convinced the two new arrivals to begrudgingly work alongside the [[House of Judgment]] scribe for the good of all Eliksni.<ref name="TC">'''Bungie (2020/11/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Beyond Light]], PlayStation 4, [[Lore]]: [[Lore:The_Once-Shipstealer#VIII._The_Council|The Council]]''</ref> Later Atraks stood with Eramis and her fellow councilors to welcome the arrival of the [[Pyramid (Europa)|obsidian ship]] as it told them to choose salvation. A new dark empire is born in the form of the [[House of Salvation]] led by [[Eramis, Kell of Darkness]].<ref name="Kell">'''Bungie (2020/11/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Beyond Light]], PlayStation 4, [[Lore]]: [[Lore:The Once-Shipstealer#IX. The Kell of Darkness|The Kell of Darkness]]''</ref>

Atraks was then instructed by her Kell to be the voice of reason among the youth of the Eliksni and broadcasted a passionate message saying how she is glad the [[Whirlwind]] arrived to strip the Eliksni of their dogmatic culture. She also viewed her supposedly unlucky birth during the Long Drift to be a birth of freedom as she can now see the [[Light]], unlike the nostalgia blinded generations of before who turned their backs to the future. She encouraged them to rally under Salvation at Riis-Reborn, do away with dead dreams and look to the future by wielding the [[Stasis|power]] gifted by the [[Darkness]].<ref name="Wild"/>

During a ceremony held within the main chambers of Riis-Reborn, Atraks stood amongst the Dark Council as Eramis made her speech against the [[Traveler]]. Atraks witnessed the destruction of a [[Servitor]] and Phylaks harnessing the powers of [[Stasis]] from the [[Crux of Darkness]], but the assembly was interrupted by the [[Guardian]] known as [[The Guardian|the Young Wolf]], who subsequently managed to escape from the city.<ref>'''Bungie (2020/11/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Beyond Light]], PlayStation 4, [[The New Kell]]''</ref> Following the deaths of Phylaks and Praksis, Eramis held a emergency meeting between Atraks and Kridis and later ordered Atraks to return to the [[Deep Stone Crypt]] and prepare the [[Taniks|body]] as they could handle the situation.<ref name="TT">'''Bungie (2020/11/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Beyond Light]], PlayStation 4, [[The Technocrat]]''</ref>

Atraks took over the Fallen operations within the Deep Stone Crypt, where she cast aside her organic carapace for that of a modified [[Exo]] frame based on Praksis's research. In an attempt to deal with the mental trauma of the Exo transformation process she striped the skin off her old face to serve as a reminder that its nothing but a mask of her past life.<ref name="Mask">'''Bungie (2020/11/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Beyond Light]], PlayStation 4, [[Mask of Bakris]]''</ref>

===The Fallen Exo===

{{quote|Clarity Control breached. A single unregistered Exo and a singe life form of unknown biology detected in Crypt laboratory.|Crypt AI}}

As a fireteam of Guardians entered the [[Clovis Bray (corporation)|Clovis Bray]] laboratory near [[Clarity Control]], they encountered Atraks near a terminal with the appearance of an [[Exo]] and modelled after her previous [[Eliksni]] form with four arms and a signature white and black look. She then unleashed the body from the cryopod to reveal the infamous mercenary, [[Taniks, the Scarred]]. Taniks was enraged at the sight of the Guardians and proceeded to violently bash the laboratory glass. His attempt to break the glass would lead to failure to which he decided to climb the glass and leave Atraks behind. The Fallen Exo also followed suit and disappeared in a mist.<ref name="DSC">'''Bungie (2020/11/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Beyond Light]], PlayStation 4, [[Deep Stone Crypt (raid)]]''</ref>

As the Guardians attempted to enter the launch pods, Atraks returned to laboratory and spread duplicate clones of herself across the room and the [[Morning Star]] orbital station to battle against them. She then summoned Fallen reinforcements and deployed [[Sentinel Servitor]]s to disable the augment terminals nearby. Immune to all damage and armed with an upgraded white [[Shock Rifle]], she fired [[Arc]] bullets against them from all directions.<ref name="DSC"/>

After the Guardians defeated the [[Servitor]]s, Atraks activated her Extinction Protocol to eliminate the enemy threat, however the Guardians managed to defeat the correct duplicate clone through the use of a scanner augment. She then dropped a replication orb to allow herself to form another copy to extinguish the Guardians, but they cleverly used the airlocks of the orbital station to launch them into space. Atraks then made a final stand by summoning eight duplicates of herself in the orbital station, but her cunning abilities were of no use and she was defeated by the Guardians.<ref name="DSC"/>

==Personality and Traits==
[[File:Atraks1Zor.png|thumb|right|300px|Atraks-1, the Fallen Exo]]
{{quote|They called us unlucky to have been born in the dark of deep space, but we were born free!|Atraks, the Wildcard}}

Atraks was quiet in nature and respectful to those with authority. She was of few words and optimistic in nature who looks forward to the future. This was due to her youthfulness as she never witnessed the horrors of the [[Whirlwind]].

She whole-heartedly believed in [[Eramis]] and passionately tried to recruit her fellow young [[Eliksni]]. She asked them see to the [[Light]], to do away with the dead dreams that blinded the older generations and viewed her birth in space as a positive as she was born free and did not have to live by the arbitrary customs that guide the [[Fallen]].

Atraks was highly intelligent as she was able to continue the [[Exo]] research first set in motion by [[Praksis]] and became the first Fallen ever to transform herself to Exo. She bested the likes of [[Sekris]], [[Taniks]], [[Pirrha, the Rifleman|Pirrha]], [[Aksis]] and his [[Devil Splicers]] to become one with technology and achieved a status that would be celebrated as godhood among her kind.

Atraks became the de-facto leader of the House of Salvation after the fall of her fellow Council members and commands a [[Ketch]] stationed near the [[Morning Star]] space station. 

During her transition to Atraks-1, her cognitive mind deteriorated to the point where she suffered early stages of Dissociative Exomind Rejection. To remedy this, an unnamed Fallen told her to strip the skin off her former face for others to wear and remind herself that her old body was just an imposter to them; its face being nothing other than a [[Mask of Bakris|mask]].

==Gameplay==
[[File:SinkentoAtraks2.jpg|thumb|right|300px|Atraks-1 enters battle]]

As [[Guardians]] journey their way through the red giant veiled statue, they reach a laboratory with "Atraks-1, Fallen Exo" inside.

Upon arrival Atraks-1 will awaken [[Taniks, Reborn]] from his cryopod and point to the Guardians. Taniks reacts with anger as he begins bash the laboratory glass in rage and disappear by climbing the glass, with Atraks following suit.

To initiate the encounter, players need to approach a purple glowing orb near the four space elevator pods. Atraks will re-emerge with various duplicate clones spread across [[Clarity Control]] and [[Morning Star]]. She is immune to all damaged and armed with a upgraded [[Shock Rifle]]. Getting near Atraks will unleash an Ultra Smash attack. 

The objective is to defeat Atraks-1 by locating the correct duplicate to attack through the use of a Scanner augment. It is advised players equip the weapon, [[The Lament]] due to its high damage capacity.

There are a total of eight Atraks-1 duplicates, with four in the laboratory and four in the orbital space station. In the laboratory, there is one duplicate by the middle space pods, one by the red room and two by the yellow room; separated into upper and lower. While in the orbital station, there are two duplicates by the middle; front and back, one by the left and one by the right. 

Also spread across both rooms are three augment terminals to help players transfer their augments between each other. These can be found by the middle, left and right portions of the room, the orbital station is unique for having a extra terminal near the space pods.

[[File:SinkentoAtraks1.gif|thumb|right|300px|Atraks-1 initiating its Extinction Protocol.]]

Players are advised to split into two groups of three to tackle Atraks from both rooms. Using the space pods will help players enter the orbital station above and also travel to the laboratory below. They also need to acquire the yellow Scanner and red Operator augments to help defeat Atraks. The [[Operator Vandal]] will spawn in the laboratory, while the [[Hacker Vandal]] will spawn in the orbital station.

The Operator is able to launch elevator pods to and from the orbital station by shooting the panels near it. They also have the important role of shooting the "Atraks-1 Replication" debuff off players carrying the replication orb. While the Scanner will be able to guide their teammates to the correct Atraks to attack, as the duplicate will glow a distinct yellow.

To begin the damage phase against Atraks, players are required to destroy a total of six [[Sentinel Servitor]]s that spawn near the Fallen Exo. Three will spawn in the laboratory and three will spawn by the orbital station, each spread across to the middle, left and right. The Sentinel Servitors will also disable the augment terminals and need to be destroyed to grant access to it. Hacker and Operator Vandals will also spawn alongside the Sentinels. It is also possible to begin the damage by waiting for a prolonged amount of time.

Following their destruction, Atraks will initiate its "Extinction Protocol". This will first start at the orbital station above and then the laboratory below and will continue this process back and forth to a total of four damage phases. Failure to defeat the correct duplicate in time will result in a wipe mechanic called "Replicated Ruin". After defeating the duplicate in the orbital station, the Scanner then needs to pass their augment through the terminal to a player below so that they too can attack the correct Atraks. The Scanner augment will need to be juggled throughout the individual damage phases and players are advised to delegate Scanner roles accordingly.

When a duplicate despawns, it will drop a purple glowing orb named "Atraks-1 Replication". It is important to pick this orb up and dispose replication by entering one of the four airlocks in the orbital station. The Operator has the added duty to first open their doors by shooting the red glowing panel and then shoot the replication off the players carrying it. 

Players are given 45 seconds to hold the buff and this can be extended if the Operator shoots the orbs over their heads to reset the timer. If the replication isn’t destroyed, a copy of Atraks will spawn and eliminate everyone, resulting in death by "Replication". Players carrying the orb from the laboratory need to use the launch pods and travel to the space station and also enter the airlocks. If the Operator were to mistakenly pick up the orb, they have the option to transfer their augment and allow another player to shoot the orb off them. However if a player were to stay in the airlock for too long, they risk death as it will be eject into space.

If her health does not reach final stand, Atraks will spawn more Sentinel Servitors to initiate another cycle of damage phases until she reaches final stand. In final stand, the whole team need to gather by the orbital station and await the final Extinction Protocol. There Atraks will spawn a total of eight duplicates across the room and the Scanner will need guide their team to the correct Atraks to damage. The duplicates will also drop more replication orbs that need to be sent to the airlock, however if teams are fast enough, they can defeat Atraks without destroying the orbs and collect the raid chest.
