'''Draksis, Winter Kell''' was the [[Kell]] to the [[Fallen]] [[House of Winter]]. Draksis was a prime target for the [[Vanguard]], after raiding jumpship reclamation convoys, which caused [[Cayde-6]], a member of the Vanguard, to increase the [[Bounties|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>

==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 [[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> 

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 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 can 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. Due to this, the player is more likely to land a direct hit and stagger him, allowing the player to freely damage him for a moment.
