'''Kinox''' | '''Kinox''' is one of the surviving daughters of [[Crota, Son of Oryx]], alongside her sisters [[Hashladûn, Daughter of Crota|Hashladûn]], [[Besurith, Daughter of Crota|Besurith]], and [[Voshyr]]; collectively leading the [[Hidden Swarm]] on the [[Moon]]. She is also the mother of [[Ulg'Urin]], a [[Knight]] in command of her guard. | ||

==Trivia== | |||
*It is unknown whether Kinox perished along with her son, but it remains speculative whether she survived and has become not only the last remaining noble of Oryx's dynasty, but also the sole Hive de-facto power on the moon and thus the leader of the remaining Hidden Swarm. | |||
