==Biography==
==Biography==
When [[Craask]], the [[Kell]] of the [[House of Kings]] called for a united [[Fallen]] attack against [[The Last City]] on [[Earth]] to take back [[Traveler|The Great Machine]], Draksis agreed to join the assault and led the [[House of Winter]] alongside the Kings and [[House of Devils]] forces. The [[Battle of the Twilight Gap]] ensued, but despite pushing to the City's walls, the Fallen failed due to the [[Guardian]]'s determination and powers, along with the [[House of Wolves]] being unable to join the assault as they were forced into the [[Reef Wars]]. Draksis would become a prime target for the [[Vanguard]] in the aftermath of the battle, as he continued raiding [[Jumpship]] reclamation convoys. This led [[Hunter]] Vanguard [[Cayde-6]] to quickly up the bounty on him, alerting [[Guardian]]s to look for the Kell of Winter.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Fallen Leadership#Draksis, Winter Kell|Draksis, Winter Kell]]''</ref>  
When the [[Craask|Kell of Kings]] ordered an [[Battle of the Twilight Gap|attack]] against [[The Last City]], Draksis answered the [[Kell]]. His House, the [[House of Winter]], joined the [[House of Kings]], and [[House of Devils]] together to take back [[Traveler|The Great Machine]], but sadly failed due to the [[Guardian]]s. Draksis later hid and became a prime target for the [[Vanguard]]. However, after raiding jumpship reclamation convoys, [[Cayde-6]] quickly upped the bounty on him, alerting [[Guardians]] to look for the Kell.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Fallen Leadership#Draksis, Winter Kell|Draksis, Winter Kell]]''</ref> After [[Grayliks, Winter Baron|Grayliks]]'s Failed [[The Archive|mission]] and death, Draksis quickly headed into his [[Ketch]], [[Wintership Simiks-Fel]] and escaped into the caves, causing him to be found by the Vanguard. Fighting through his [[Kell's Guard]]s, a [[The Guardian|Guardian]] made their way onto the Fallen Ketch and faced Draksis in his throne room, killing him, making the House of Winter leaderless.


Following the Fallen's defeat at [[Twilight Gap]], Draksis eventually relocated Winter to the [[Ishtar Sink]] on [[Venus]] and began plundering the secrets of the [[Ishtar Collective]]. Draksis established a stronghold within the caves of Venus known as [[Winter's Lair]], with his House's [[Ketch]], the [[Wintership Simiks-Fel]] at its heart. After [[Grayliks, Winter Baron|Grayliks]]'s failed [[The Archive|mission]] and death attempting to scour the Collective's archives, The Vanguard located Draksis' forces and [[The Guardian]] fought through his [[Kell's Guard|Guard]]s and onto the Fallen Ketch. The Guardian would confront the Kell within his throne room and killed him thereafter, leaving the House leaderless.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Scourge of Winter]]''</ref>
Later, the [[House of Wolves]], led by [[Skolas, Wolf Kell]], attacked Winter and had put them down, causing Skolas to control Winter and became the [[Wolf Rebellion|Kell of Kells]]. However that attempt failed and was [[Queen's Ransom|captured]] and [[Prison of Elders|executed]] by the same guardian who killed Draksis.


Later, the House of Wolves, led by [[Skolas, Wolf Kell]], attacked the House of Winter, causing Skolas to gain control of the Winter Fallen and declare himself the [[Wolf Rebellion|Kell of Kells]]. However his rebellion would fail and be put down as he was [[Queen's Ransom|captured]] and later [[Prison of Elders|executed]] by the same Guardian who killed Draksis.
==Gameplay==
Draksis is the primary target in the "[[Scourge of Winter]]" [[Story]] mission. Upon entering the throne room, he will rise from his throne and begin to engage the player. He is armed with a [[Shrapnel Launcher]] for ranged combat. Draksis can also teleport across the room to evade enemy fire. As with any [[Ultra]], melee combat is ill-advised, because he will perform a ground pound that send the player flying into a wall, causing them to die of impact with a hard surface. He will be assisted by all of the usual [[Fallen]] except [[Servitor]]s and the occasional team of [[Kell's Guard]]. Equipping a high blast radius [[Rocket launcher|rocket launcher]] with Tracking is recommended because it can reliably damage Draksis from long range, even when he teleports away from the rocket, and thus the player is more likely to land a direct hit, which will stagger him, allowing the player to freely damage him for a moment.
