Reksis had a tragic upbringing as he was abandoned at birth. Due to this, he became very depraved and a twisted executioner who developed a strong hatred of [[Servitor]]s and their esteemed role in [[Fallen]] culture. He denounced the worship of Servitors after watching his superiors grow in strength while he and his siblings starved. In his suffering, he found clarity, as he sought to bring the destruction of Servitors as others were driven to insanity due to their poverty of [[Ether]]. He quickly gained a reputation as a heretic and was even ousted from the [[House of Exile]]s.

The outcast [[Dreg]] found refuge within the [[Tangled Shore]] as the harsh land shaped him, and set up a base in the [[Quitter's Well]]. Later the Hangman carried out what he intended to do by siphoning [[Ether]] from Servitors and used it to feed his fellow Barons, creating a joyous frenzy.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Lore]]: [[Lore:Most Loyal|Most Loyal]]: [[Lore:Most Loyal#Roll Call|Roll Call]]''</ref>  

His obsessive hate did not stop there, as Vahn gained even more notoriety by exterminating the last remaining Servitors from the [[House of Wolves]], dooming the House to extinction. His anger did not stop there as it lingered and festered until others felt his pain. <ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Lore]]: [[Lore:The Lawless Frontier|The Lawless Frontier]]: [[Lore:The Lawless Frontier#Anguish, Ten-Fold|Anguish, Ten-Fold]]''</ref>

With his twisted ambition and persona, he found a new purpose to release his wrath. At one point, he came into conflict with [[Elykris, the Machinist]], who hoarded Servitors from her raids. The Hangman had different ambitions as he sought to torture and kill them. As tension grew between the two, [[Fikrul, the Fanatic]] stepped in and saw a new means of motivation. He would gently caress a Servitor, only to brutally kill it to show their intent to kill all those bound to a Fallen House.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Lore]]: [[Lore:The Lawless Frontier|The Lawless Frontier]] [[Lore:The Lawless Frontier#A Scorned Path|A Scorned Past]]''</ref>

Later, he would be imprisoned deep within the [[Prison of Elders]] alongside his fellow Barons, but freed by [[Uldren Sov]]. He was present at the murder of [[Cayde-6]] and inflicted a crucial blow that allowed Cayde to die at Sov's hand.<ref name=GIBarons/> [[The Guardian]]s in vengeance would track him down and kill him with his own fire.

**The Guardian possesses the title mainly for slaying [[Hive]] deities, whereas Reksis Vahn has earned the title by killing Servitors, which are viewed as gods in Fallen religion.
