'''Hiraks, the Mindbender''' | '''Hiraks, the Mindbender''' was a [[Hive]]-obsessed [[Baron]] of the [[Scorn]] and an Ascendant Eliksni. | ||
==Biography== | ==Biography== | ||
As a simple [[Dreg]] of the [[House of Exile]], Hiraks was weak and timid. He eventually found himself falling into the [[Hellmouth]] on Earth's [[Moon]]. He emerged a changed Eliksni. He became obsessed with the study of the Hive and hasn't spoken a comprehensible word since his aforementioned time in the [[Hellmouth]]. Some say he learnt his ways from [[The World's Grave]] or from the shrines or even through a form of unutterable language. Only Hiraks truly knows. Years later, Hiraks found the means to become Ascendant and form his own throne world within the [[Ascendant Realm]]. He also gained a reputation for his ability to unravel his enemies' minds and take command over the Hive.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]] | As a simple [[Dreg]] of the [[House of Exile]], Hiraks was weak and timid.

As the mastermind of the Great Crow Heist, Hiraks trapped and converted Prince Uldren's [[Crow (title)|Crows]] with his mindbending might, using them to help engineer mistrust between the Reef and Earth. Building tension upon the already turbulent relationship the Reef and Earth shared. He was also responsible for experiments on Asteroid 128 Nemesis which resulted in the asteroid shifting between our dimension and the Ascendant realm.<ref name=GIBarons /> | As the mastermind of the Great Crow Heist, Hiraks trapped and converted Prince Uldren's [[Crow (title)|Crows]] with his mindbending might, using them to help engineer mistrust between the Reef and Earth.

Before [[Cayde-6]] and his Six imprisoned him in the Prison of Elders with the other Barons he ran with, Hiraks warped the mind of a Hive brood stranded at the Tangled Shore, having taken [[In Anânh, Brood Queen]] as his consort and [[Knight]]s as his [[Hiraks's Familiar|Familiar]]s. He apparently also attempted to infuse In Anânh's Hive with copious amounts of [[Ether]] in hopes of breeding out their intolerance but only succeeded in poisoning them. He would later use a more "''copulating''" method to accomplish this.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]] | Before [[Cayde-6]] and his Six imprisoned him in the Prison of Elders with the other Barons he ran with, Hiraks warped the mind of a Hive brood stranded at the Tangled Shore, having taken [[In Anânh, Brood Queen]] as his consort and [[Knight]]s as his [[Hiraks's Familiar|Familiar]]s.

A year after the events of the [[Red War]], [[Uldren Sov]] freed him along with the other Barons, and worked together to orchestrate a massive breakout from the [[Prison of Elders]]. After the murder of [[Cayde-6]] at Uldren's hands, Hiraks fled the scene alongside the Prince and his fellow Barons and went to the [[Tangled Shore]]. [[The Guardian]] later confronted him within the [[Hall of the Exalted]]. The Mindbender would attempt to escape into his own [[Ascendant Plane (location)|Ascendant Realm]], which he had built from Cayde's death, but he would instead be killed by the Guardian, destabilising it in the process.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]] | A year after the events of the [[Red War]], [[Uldren Sov]] freed him along with the other Barons, and worked together to orchestrate a massive breakout from the [[Prison of Elders]].
