The Vex's origins are unknown. The earliest event associated with the Vex is when the [[Hive]] god [[Crota, Son of Oryx]] opened a portal to a place where the Vex were present, hoping to find a secret power for himself. Instead, he allowed the Vex to invade [[Oryx, the Taken King]]'s throne world, the [[Dreadnaught|High War]].<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Books_of_Sorrow#XXXVIII:_The_partition_of_death|Books of Sorrow - The partition of death]]''</ref> At first unsuited to the Ascendant Realm and the rules governing its reality, the Vex quickly learned of the Hive's Sword-Logic, creating [[Quria, Blade Transform]] to investigate it. Through Quria, the Vex learned to achieve divinity by killing all who opposed them and adopting worship as a primary function. Though Oryx eventually succeeded in eliminating the Vex from his realm, they preserved what they learned and passed it on to the rest of the Vex hive mind.<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Books_of_Sorrow#XL:_An_Emperor_For_All_Outcomes|An Emperor For All Outcomes]]''</ref>

In the ensuing battle, Quria generated a simulation of Oryx's original form: Aurash. As Oryx was distracted by the simulation, Quria devoted the rest of its resources to sending what it had learned to the rest of the Vex hive mind. Quria was then [[Taken]] and given to his sister, [[Savathûn, the Witch-Queen| Savathûn]] as a gift.
