Ir Halak and her sister Ir Anûk were created from the same larva cleft in two by Oryx's sword, [[Willbreaker]]. He praised them for their cunning and intellect, especially Ir Halak, for creating a [[Deathsong]], the signature weapon of the [[Deathsinger]]s and which gave the twins their title. After telling her of her [[Xivu Arath|aunt's]] displeasure, he asked if they would be using songs instead of weapons to fight their wars.<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]] - [[Grimoire | Ir Halak and her sister Ir Anûk were created from the same larva cleft in two by Oryx's sword, [[Willbreaker]].

Later, as Oryx wrestled with his worm, Ir Halak and Ir Anûk 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 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 | Later, as Oryx wrestled with his worm, Ir Halak and Ir Anûk began to die repeatedly in a certain place, ostensibly for no reason.

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]] led by [[Quria, Blade Transform]],<ref name="TPoD"/> who mocked his attempts to contain them by simply blinking away from him whenever he attacked. As the Vex killed thousands of Hive and empowered themselves with [[The Sword Logic]], Ir Halak called upon their fellow Deathsingers to assist her and Ir Anûk with the creation of the [[Annihilator Totem]]. The weapon proved effective, but the two sides entered a stalemate as Quria fled to the other side of the gate and launched repeated invasions of the Ascendant Realm, while the sibling's invasions of the Vex territory left them too weakened to finish off the Vex Mind. After one hundred years of warfare, Ir Halak worried that Oryx would return and eat their souls for their failures.<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]] - [[Grimoire | Unfortunately, it was Crota who needed watching.
