A year after the events of ''[[Shadowkeep]]'', Kinox and her sister Voshyr were met with the [[High Celebrant of Xivu Arath|High Celebrant]], a champion of their great-aunt [[Xivu Arath, God of War]] having entered the system to build an army of [[Wrathborn]] and to rally the scattered Hive broods into her sway. Having gathered with their spawn beneath the [[Enduring Abyss]] to commune with the War god, they were immediately confronted by the [[Warlock]] [[Osiris]]. Kinox would die attempting to flee from the ensuing battle along with her son, [[Ulg'Urin]], who perished in a vain attempt to protect her from a [[Nova Bomb]].<ref name="Immolant" />

==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.
