'''Prak'kesh''' is a former [[Guardian]] who became an unofficial bookmaker for the [[Guardian Games]]. 

==Biography==
At an unknown point in time, Prak'kesh retired from the [[Vanguard]] to the disapproval of [[Zavala]], and hired the ex-[[Corsair]] [[Tulnik]] as his bodyguard. He also employed children in the [[Last City]] as runners to collect bets and settle up once the action paid off. 

In the second annual Guardian Games, Prak'kesh sent out runners to collect bets to return to him at his spot at the base of [[the Tower]]. On one occasion, the [[Hunter]]s who refer to themselves as the "[[Death Dealers]]" met with Prak'kesh himself to bet that Hunters would win the Games with [[Shaxx]]'s missing horn.<ref>'''Bungie (2021/2/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Chosen]] - [[Cobra's Hood]]''</ref>

Three [[Titan]]s also bet that the Hunters would win, despite them believing Titans would win. They intended it to be a suprise that they bet on the Hunters, even though the bets are confidential. However, they would lose their wager when Titans won that year.<ref>'''Bungie (2021/2/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Chosen]] - [[Lion's Pride]]''</ref>

A [[fireteam]] of [[Warlock]]s who had lost a bet to Prak'kesh owed him [[Mote of Dark|Motes]]. However, since they did not have enough, they doubled down and bet that they would beat [[Meliorea]]'s Titans in the [[Crucible]]. They lost, and Prak'kesh got [[Felwinter's Helm]] from one of the Warlocks.<ref>'''Bungie (2021/2/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Chosen]] - [[Pheonix's Fire]]''</ref>

During the third annual Guardian Games, betters, including [[Alphanis-2]], were cancelling their debts in favor of better odds with the [[Spider]].<ref>'''Bungie (2022/2/22)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Risen]] - [[Medal Mantle]]''</ref> He headed to a bar where more former better were, and learned that his rival was an [[Eliksni]] from the [[Botza District]].<ref>'''Bungie (2022/2/22)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Risen]] - [[Mark of Medal]]''</ref> He investigated the [[Eliksni Quarter]] under the disguise of a new [[Last City]] resident from [[the Farm]] searching to place bets. One of the Warlocks he ran into gave him a calling card with the Spider's insignia.<ref>'''Bungie (2022/2/22)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Risen]] - [[Medal Bond]]''</ref> Prak'kesh negotiated with the Spider, and agreed that Prak'kesh would advertise the Guardian Games to the Eliksni in the [[Botza District]], to collect more bets.<ref>'''Bungie (2023/2/28)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of Defiance]] - [[Luminous Paragon]]''</ref>

In the fifth annual Guardian Games, Prak'kesh and the Spider received an unusual donation of [[Skimmer]]s. They believed it wasn't from the Vanguard, and discovered they were sent by the [[Concordat]], however they did not know who they were.<ref>'''Bungie (2024/11/28)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Wish]] - [[Allstar Vector]]''</ref>

==Trivia==
*Prak'kesh was most likely a former Hunter, as he strongly dislikes Warlocks and Titans. However, he does wear Felwinter's Helm, a Warlock helmet, but this may just be to show it off as one of the rewards from a bet.
*Prak'kesh owns a [[Gray Hornet]] [[Sparrow]].
