'''Draksis, Winter Kell''' was the [[Kell]] to the [[Fallen]] [[House of Winter]].

The [[Battle of the Twilight Gap]] ensued, but despite pushing to the City's walls, the Fallen failed due the [[House of Wolves]] being unable to join the assault and due to the [[Guardian]]'s determination and powers. Draksis became a prime target for the [[Vanguard]] in the aftermath of the battle, as he continued raiding [[Jumpship]] reclamation convoys. [[Hunter]] Vanguard [[Cayde-6]] quickly upped the bounty on him, alerting [[Guardians]] 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> | ||

Draksis established a stronghold within the caves of Venus 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. Draksis confronted the Guardian in his throne room but was killed, leaving the House of Winter leaderless.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Scourge of Winter]]''</ref> | ||

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. | ||
==Trivia== | |||
*Despite being the Kell of the House of Winter, Draksis wears armor with [[House of Devils]] colors and iconography. | |||
*Draksis is the first Kell ever encountered in [[Destiny]]. | |||
