| After [[Oryx]] excommunicated his son [[Nokris, Supplicant to Savathûn|Nokris]] for making a heretical bargain with [[Xol, Will of the Thousands|Xol]], Nokris took his followers, the Grasp of Nokris, and set out to conquer a new world in the name of his patron [[Worm|Worm God]]. Nokris chose to invade [[Mars]] and arrived at some point shortly before or during the [[Collapse]].<ref>'''Bungie (2018/5/8)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Warmind (expansion)|Warmind]] - Item Description: [[Verity's Brow#Lore|Verity's Brow]]''</ref>

| | |
| In defense, the [[Warmind]] [[Rasputin]] executed the SIBERIAN ENTROPY protocol, flash-freezing the entire Hive army along with Nokris and Xol. They would remain entombed within the ice of Hellas Basin for centuries until the pulse of Light emitted by the Traveler after the [[Red War]] caused the ice caps to thaw. With the thawing of the Ice caps, the Grasp emerged intending to claim Mars again, and Rasputin on top of that.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/5/8)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Warmind (expansion)|Warmind]]''</ref> For weeks, the Grasp engaged Guardians, repeatedly being cut down, eventually culminating in the slaying of both their leadership and their Worm God.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/5/8)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Warmind (expansion)|Warmind]] - [[Strange Terrain]]''</ref><ref>'''Bungie (2018/5/8)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Warmind (expansion)|Warmind]] - [[Will of the Thousands]]''</ref> Despite the loss of their leaders, the Grasp would continue to be of nuisance to Hellas Basin with many of their champions frequently returning, being challenged by Rasputin's Escalation Protocol.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/5/8)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Warmind (expansion)|Warmind]] - [[Escalation Protocol]]''</ref>

| With Xol having abandoned them for the [[Guardian]]s and Nokris leaving Mars for Savathûn's [[Court of Savathûn|court]], the brood of undead Hive had quieted their activity with the [[Pyramid (Mars)|Pyramid's]] arrival.<ref>'''Bungie (2020/6/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of Arrivals]] - [[Lore:Duress and Egress|Duress and Egress]]: [[Lore:Duress and Egress#Ana: Black Box|Ana: Black Box]]''</ref>

| Osiris, after an [[Heist Battleground: Mars|operation]] to recover the submind [[Charlemagne]], located in an alternate version of the [[BrayTech Futurescape]] inside one of the time wounds found on Mars after Savathûn returned it to the solar system, finally addresses the fate of the brood, stating that since the Pyramids' arrival, the remainder of Nokris' forces had joined Savathûn's [[Lucent Brood]] against [[Xivu Arath, God of War|Xivu Arath]].<ref>'''Bungie (2022/12/6)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Seraph]] - [[Osiris]]: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VhwWmzxHB_s "Nokris's forces pledged themselves to Savathûn. They stand with the Lucent Brood against Xivu Arath."]''</ref>

| The Grasp of Nokris were the only known brood composed entirely of reanimated Hive with their leaders possessing the heretical secret of [[necromancy]], giving them the power to continuously raise their deceased in endless cycles of death and rebirth. The majority of these undead Hive all had ice and rime fused to their chitin after centuries of being frozen cryogenically, which caused them to shatter upon being killed rather than combust into flames or disintegrate like the other Hive broods. They were found exclusively at the polar icecaps of [[Mars]], specifically having their breeding grounds located in the [[Penumbral Depths]] buried beneath Hellas Basin.
| |
| | |
| Since Savathûn's defection to the Light, what remained of the Grasp of Nokris joined her and were consolidated into her [[Lucent Brood]], sharing their secrets of necromancy with the brood. Such secrets would go on to be an [[Ghosts of the Deep|invaluable]] boon.

| ==Trivia== | | ==Trivia== |
| *The Grasp of Nokris had a unique faction insignia distinct from the general [[Savathûn's Brood|Hive]] in-game. The symbol resembled the central "eye" of [[Xol, Will of the Thousands]]. Another symbol of this faction bore the head shape and eyes of Nokris. | | *All the Hive within this faction are covered in ice crystals and when they die, their bodies shatter like ice. This is obviously likely as a result of being imprisoned within the frozen ice caps of Mars for centuries. |
| *The Cursed Thralls in the brood are a unique variant that inflicts a "Chilled" debuff on all targets within range, severely decreasing their mobility for ten seconds.
| |
| *Many of the Hive within the Grasp of Nokris had distinctive titles in what is implied to be a Hive dialect; fans have identified these titles as originating from several ancient real-world languages.<ref>https://www.bungie.net/en/Forums/Post/244977779</ref>
| |
| **Just some of these include Arabic, Babylonian, Indonesian and Sumerian.
| |
| *The units of the Grasp of Nokris had slightly different sounds than Hive from other sects, sounding far more guttural.
| |
| *Due to Mars' disappearance and Nokris abandoning the Grasp of Nokris for [[Savathûn, the Witch Queen|Savathûn]], the Grasp of Nokris may be the first enemy faction introduced in Destiny 2 to go extinct.
| |
| **In ''[[Season of the Seraph]],'' the Brood was stated to have been consolidated into the [[Lucent Brood]].
| |
| *The Grasp of Nokris is the only Hive brood to have [[Adherent]]s in their ranks.
| |
| **The Grasp of Nokris was also the only Hive brood so far to have [[Vanquisher]]s until ones from [[Xivu Arath's Horde]] appeared in ''[[Season of the Seraph]]''.
| |
| *The Grasp of Nokris has never been mentioned by name in-game. They have only been referred to as such once on Bungie.net when Warmind was initially released.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20180426092418/https://www.destinythegame.com/ca/en/expansion2</ref>
