'''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.

===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. Who have no memories of Riis, only tales of glorious cities under glowing green skies passed down from our elders.|Atraks.}}<ref name="Wild">'''Bungie (2020/11/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Beyond Light]] - [[Lore]]: [[Lore:The Once-Shipstealer#XIII. The Wildcard|The Once-Shipstealer XIII. 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]] - [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Fallen#Ghost_Fragment:_Fallen_3|Ghost Fragment: Fallen 3]]''</ref> Within the long dark flight, 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]] - [[Lore]]: [[Lore:Call_of_the_Cryptolith#II. RATIONS|Call of the Cryptolith 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"/>

Following the escape of [[Eramis, Kell of Darkness|Eramis]] from the [[Prison of Elders]], the [[Baroness]] returned to the remnants of the [[House of Devils]] and attempted to rebuild them to their former glory. Atraks was amongst those who answered her rallying 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]] - [[Lore]]: [[Lore:The Once-Shipstealer#IV. The Visionary|The Once-Shipstealer IV. The Visionary]]''</ref>  

After the Devils failed to capture the [[Outbreak Perfected|SIVA weapon]], Eramis became frustrated and felt humiliated for losing to the young [[Mithrax]] while seated at her [[Ketch]]. Atraks tried to console her, but Eramis bitterly told her she knew Atraks would not take their failure to heart as she was too young to remember the true prowess of the old Devils. Atraks replied with optimism by saying she can see the light and 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"/>

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 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 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]] - [[Lore]]: [[Lore:The_Once-Shipstealer#VIII._The_Council|The Once-Shipstealer VIII. The Council]]''</ref> Alongside her fellow Council members Kridis stood with Eramis to welcome the arrival of the [[Pyramid (Europa)|obsidian ship]] as it tells 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]] - [[Lore]]: [[Lore:The Once-Shipstealer#IX. The Kell of Darkness|The Once-Shipstealer XIII. The Kell of Darkness]]''</ref>

Atraks was then instructed by her Kell to be the voice of reason among the youth of the Eliksni. She sends a passionate message saying how she is glad the [[Whirlwind]] arrived to strip the Eliksni of their dogmatic culture. She also viewed her unlucky birth during spaceflight 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 in the main chambers of Riis-Reborn, Atraks stood amongst the Dark Council as Eramis made a 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 is 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]] - [[The New Kell]]''</ref> Following the deaths of Phylaks and Praksis at the hands of the infamous Guardian, Eramis held a emergency meeting between her and Kridis. Stating that they can handle the Young Wolf, Eramis ordered Atraks to return to the [[Deep Stone Crypt]] and prepare the [[Taniks|body]].<ref name="TT">'''Bungie (2020/11/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Beyond Light]] - [[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, the Technocrat|Praksis]]' 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]] - [[Mask of Bakris]]''</ref>

As a fireteam of Guardians led by the Young Wolf journeyed their way to 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 is engulfed with rage as he spots the Guardian responsible for two of his prior defeats and proceeded to violently bash the laboratory glass. He fails to break it and climbs the lab glass to leave Atraks behind. She also disappears in mist.<ref name="DSC">'''Bungie (2020/11/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Beyond Light]] - [[Deep Stone Crypt (raid)]]</ref>

Atraks then initiated a battle against them by spreading the duplicate clones of herself across the laboratory and the [[Morning Star]] orbital station. She then summons Fallen reinforcements and deploys [[Sentinel Servitor]]s to disable the augment terminals nearby. Immune to all damage and armed with an upgraded white [[Shock Rifle]], she shoots [[Arc]] bullets against them from all directions.<ref name="DSC"/>

After the [[Servitor]]s are defeated, Atraks initiated her Extinction Protocol to eliminate the enemy threat, however the Guardians managed to defeat the correct duplicate clone by using a scanner augment. She then dropped a replication orb to allow her to form another copy to extinguish the Guardians, but they cleverly use 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]]

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

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

Atraks is 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 achieve a status that would be celebrated as godhood among her kind.

Atraks became the de-facto leader after the fall of her 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 tells 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]].

[[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.  

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.]]

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.
