Known as the Scourge and the Bandit, her reign of terror was well known to [[the Reef]] even before she became the second-in-command of the Scorned Barons. Working as an expert in munitions and weapon crafting, Elykris was infamous for her raids on ships and settlements near [[Mars]]. She also had a role in the Siege of Arran, where she hijacked the ship and stole its contents. | Known as the Scourge and the Bandit, her reign of terror was well known to [[the Reef]] even before she became the second-in-command of the Scorned Barons.

At one point, she was a member of the outcast [[House of Exile]]. However, she challenged the traditions of the Fallen Houses, leading to her being ousted from the Exiles. As a renegade Dreg, she found strength by bonding with the other outcasts and sought meaning and guidance from the heretical [[Fikrul, the Fanatic]].<ref | At one point, she was a member of the outcast [[House of Exile]].

Later, she took up residence in [[Salvage Zone QX]], only to be hunted down by the Guardians.

Elykris has shown herself to be quite avaricious, as whatever technology and weaponry she doesn't give to the Scorn, she keeps for herself. She seems to share Fikrul's sentiment on the Scorn being a family, or at least a close-knit brotherhood, as her lines about the Barons always standing together and the Scorn standing together forever are similar to some of Fikrul's own dialogue on the Scorn. She also seems to be wrathful, as she venomously calls Cayde-6's death "pathetic" and continuously growls at the Guardian about how their attempt at revenge is futile. | Elykris has shown herself to be quite avaricious, as whatever technology and weaponry she doesn't give to the Scorn, she keeps for herself.

Elykris seemed to initially have a tumultuous relationship with fellow Baron [[Reksis Vahn, the Hangman]] as the latter would frequently sneak into her hoard to destroy her captured [[Servitors]].<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]] | Elykris seemed to initially have a tumultuous relationship with fellow Baron [[Reksis Vahn, the Hangman]] as the latter would frequently sneak into her hoard to destroy her captured [[Servitors]].<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]], [[Lore]], [[Lore:The Lawless Frontier|The Lawless Frontier]]: [[Lore:The Lawless Frontier#A Scorned Path|A Scorned Path]]''</ref> | ||

Elykris possesses multiple weapons in her arsenal, all of which have devastating consequences. In hand, she wields a [[Scorn Cannon]], which fires explosive molten [[Ether]] fumes from long range, constantly blasting the player down and pounding away at their shield. She will also occasionally crouch and use her back-mounted munitions device to fire Scorn Rockets one after another, each of which deals high blast damage; every time her health reaches a certain threshold, she will duck down on the ground, surround herself with [[Void]] energy to negate all incoming damage akin to an Ether-Shield, and rapidly fire [[Solar]] orbital strikes from her munitions device before teleporting to another location shortly afterwards to directly continue her assault. This means the player has to contend with both direct combat and evasion simultaneously. Additionally, there are poisonous liquid pools littered throughout the arena, which can prove to be a deadly environmental hazard. The arena itself, however, is fairly large, and thus it is easy to space oneself from Elykris to safely and reliably damage her. Her movement is rather slow, so the player can continue to stay at an extended range for an easier engagement. | Elykris possesses multiple weapons in her arsenal, all of which have devastating consequences.
