Ir Anûk and her sister Ir Halak were created from the same larvae cleft in two by Oryx's sword, [[Willbreaker]]. He praised them for their cunning and intellect, especially Ir Anûk, for her ambitious methods of apotheosis—she wrote out the eleven axioms which described the [[Ascendant Realm]] and plotted to kill one. Oryx commended her by saying he may kill her for trying.<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]] -  [[Grimoire:Enemies/Books of Sorrow|Books of Sorrow]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Books of Sorrow##XXXVII: shapes : points|#XXXVII: shapes : points]]''</ref>

Oryx commended her by saying he may kill her for trying.


Later, as Oryx wrestled with his worm, Ir Anûk and Ir Halak began to die repeatedly in a certain place, ostensibly for no reason. When asked what they were doing, they launched into a highly technical description that Oryx eventually forced them to conclude simply: "''If we hide our deaths from ourselves, we become harder to kill.''" Thus came about the birth of the first prototype [[Oversoul]]. Oryx ordered his son [[Crota, Son of Oryx|Crota]] to watch his sisters, fearing they were trying to go to the [[Darkness|Deep]], and to learn cunning.<ref name="TPoD">'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]] - [[Grimoire:Enemies/Books of Sorrow|Books of Sorrow]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Books of Sorrow#XXXVIII: The partition of death|XXXVIII: The partition of death]]''</ref>

Unfortunately, it was Crota who needed watching. He began to conspire with his sisters and thought rashly he too would seek for himself a power. Using his sword he cut a hole in the Ascendant Realm, and unwittingly let in the [[Vex]],<ref name="TPoD"/> who mocked his attempts to contain them by simply blinking away from him whenever he attacked. His sisters went to help him, Ir Anûk created an [[Annihilator Totem]] while Ir Halak called upon their fellow [[Deathsinger]]s and they fought the Vex, who learned all too quickly how the Realm worked, and proved difficult to dislodge.<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]] - [[Grimoire:Enemies/Books of Sorrow|Books of Sorrow]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Books of Sorrow#XXXIX: open your eye : go into it|XXXIX: open your eye : go into it]]''</ref>

Later, to protect his Realm, Oryx built the [[Dreadnaught]]. Ir Anûk and Ir Halak built the weaponry and internal systems for the ship, allowing Oryx to concentrate his Ascendant power and obliterate any foe.<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]] - [[Grimoire:Enemies/Books of Sorrow|Books of Sorrow]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Books of Sorrow#XL: An Emperor For All Outcomes|XL: An Emperor For All Outcomes]]''</ref><ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]] - [[Grimoire:Enemies/Books of Sorrow|Books of Sorrow]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Books of Sorrow#XLI: Dreadnaught|XLI: Dreadnaught]]''</ref>

===The Taken War===
Finally, billions of years later, Ir Anûk and Ir Halak barred the way to their father by challenging the [[Guardian]]s sent to kill him. As their father's last line of defense, they used their Deathsongs to fight and unwrite the Guardians. They were eliminated, and the way to Oryx, the Taken King was clear.
Billions of years later, Ir Halak and Ir Anûk joined their father in travelling to the [[Solar System|Sol System]] to seek revenge upon [[The Guardian]] who slew their brother Crota. Although the Dreadnaught was halted in the orbit of [[Saturn]] following a [[Battle of Saturn|battle]] with the [[Awoken]] fleet, the two sisters traveled aboard another warship to [[Moon|Luna]] to conduct the death ceremony that would send what remained of Crota's soul to the next realm. However, the ceremony was interrupted by the Guardian who slew Crota, who now sought to steal remnants of his soul to pass as a [[Ascendant Hive]]. Outraged at the intrusion and seeking vengeance for their brother, Ir Halak and Ir Anûk attempted to slay the Guardian alongside the other Deathsingers and Hive warriors present. The Guardian escaped their grasp thanks to the intervention of [[Eris Morn]], who teleported them away from the Hive.<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]] - [[Last Rites]]''</ref>

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*Ir Anûk's [[Grimoire]] card can only be obtained by killing her in the [[Last Rites]] mission on the [[Moon]], without revealing your presence. It does not unlock in the [[King's Fall]] [[Raid]]. Despite the player being able to kill both Deathsingers in Last Rites, they can still be found in King's Fall. An explanation may be that they both have [[Oversoul]]s, as they were the ones to discover them.
