'''Panoptes, Infinite Mind''' | '''Panoptes, Infinite Mind''' is a massive, powerful [[Vex]] [[Hydra]] found within the [[Infinite Forest]] on [[Mercury]]. It is the [[Axis Mind]] that oversees the simulated realities generated by the Infinite Forest and uses them to shape the Vex's strategies in the "real" universe. It is the main antagonist of ''[[Curse of Osiris]]''.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hST2F-0dD7s</ref> | ||

Panoptes | Panoptes is housed within a unique Vex armature, resembling a massive [[Hydra]] chassis with an angular "head", two arms resembling those of a bipedal Vex unit, wing-like appendages, and numerous glowing [[Harpy]] "tentacles". Many components of its body float independently of one another. Panoptes was one of the first Vex who came to Mercury and converted it from a garden world to a Vex Machine World. [[Sagira]] used this origin point to locate Panoptes’ lair by projecting time forward, identifying Infinity’s Crown as the location within the Infinite realities that the Vex Mind could be found.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ssTSWIDNpJU</ref> | ||
It | It is Panoptes that directs the Vex's efforts into turning reality into what they desire: a future where the Vex reign supreme, [[Light]] and [[The Darkness|Darkness]] no longer exist and other lifeforms are destroyed. As such, the exiled Guardian, [[Osiris]], has worked continuously to prevent this future but only managed to slow its progress. However, Panoptes' plans enters a new phase after the Traveler's awakening and cornering Osiris, forcing the exile to spirit his Ghost Sagira to seek aid. That aid turned out to be [[The Guardian]] who begins to investigate the location of Panoptes' lair.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8yvAHUlZfnE</ref> | ||

Ultimately, the Guardian still | When Sagira was able to locate its lair, Panoptes had already sprung its trap to capture her Light and remove the Guardian from the Forest. Ultimately, the Guardian still manages to penetrate the Forest and confront the powerful Axis Mind. Even though they are able to defeat legions of its simulated protectors, they are unable to harm Panoptes itself. Just when Panoptes is about to delete the Guardian, Osiris himself and many of his Reflections intervene, stopping the Axis Mind from completing the deletion and provides Arc Charges to disrupt Panoptes' defenses, forcing it to reveal its "eye", its only weak point. With Osiris' aid, the Guardian manages to damage and then destroy the Infinite Mind forever, freeing Sagira and preventing the dark future from ever occurring. <ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8yvAHUlZfnE</ref> | ||

Though crippled and weakened, the Vex remain a threat the Guardians and Osiris continue to fight together. Various efforts of the Vex to salvage themselves from Panoptes' defeat have been stopped, thanks to the Guardian's efforts.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8yvAHUlZfnE</ref> | ||

*The two main Vex Minds seen in the ''[[Curse of Osiris]]'' expansion, [[Argos,_Planetary_Core#Trivia|Argos]] and Panoptes, are named after the same character of Greek mythology.

*Certain elements of Panoptes' design grant it a strong resemblance to the appearance of [[Oryx, the Taken King]]; most notable among these are the "wings" on Panoptes' back, the wide and angular head with three small prongs or spikes, and the clawed arms. Given the Vex's past experience with Oryx, this resemblance may not be coincidental. | *Certain elements of Panoptes' design grant it a strong resemblance to the appearance of [[Oryx, the Taken King]]; most notable among these are the "wings" on Panoptes' back, the wide and angular head with three small prongs or spikes, and the clawed arms.
