'''Praksis, the Technocrat''' is a [[Fallen]] commander from the [[House of Salvation]] and one of the most trusted lieutenants for [[Eramis, Kell of Darkness]]. Born into the [[House of Wolves]], Praksis joined Eramis's quest to start a new world following their escape from the [[Prison of Elders]].

As chief architect and scientist, Praksis created the technology that helped the House of Salvation wield the power of [[Stasis]]. His research on [[Clovis Bray]]'s [[Exo]] program laid the foundations for future [[Atraks|Eliksni]] to harness that power. His fascination for machines developed into a deep admiration for the [[Vex]] and to the point that he conducted twisted experiments on them to improve Eliksni technology.<ref>'''Bungie (2020/11/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: | As chief architect and scientist, Praksis created the technology that helped the House of Salvation wield the power of [[Stasis]].

Following the betrayal of Variks, the Technocrat halted his experiments and attended a ceremony organised by Eramis to address their newly formed House. Held within the main chambers of [[Riis-Reborn Approach]], Praksis stood alongside other Devil-born council members and listened attentively to Eramis. She spoke out against the chains that slaved the Eliksni race as they became servants to the [[Great Machine]] that abandoned them. Eramis then destroyed a [[Servitor]] in a symbolic move to usher in their freedom. Its destruction signified that the Eliksni had now updated their approach. Praksis also watched the veteran warrior, Phylaks, wield the ability Stasis by retrieving a [[Splinter of Darkness|Splinter]] from a [[Crux of Darkness|Crux]] and inserting it into the Stasis gauntlets created by him. However the assembly is interrupted by the [[Guardians]] and Praksis left the scene to allow Phylaks chase them with her new found powers.<ref>'''Bungie (2020/11/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Beyond Light]], PlayStation 5, [[The New Kell]]''</ref><ref>'''YouTube''', ''[https://youtu.be/_J0RulCssto Beyond Light Cutscene - We Will Rise Again]''</ref> | Following the betrayal of Variks, the Technocrat halted his experiments and attended a ceremony organised by Eramis to address their newly formed House.

Located outside the [[Bray Exoscience]] facility, Ghost hacked into Praksis's latest construct and lured the nearby Vex to the Fallen conflux. Praksis then found out that the Guardians were attempting to shut down his conflux and sent a Servitor, [[Conflux Watch Prime]], to protect it. The [[Prime Servitor]] was an upgraded [[Conflux Watch|model]] from those ultised by the [[House of Winter]] and would teleport them away from the conflux, but the Guardians persisted and destroyed the Servitor.<ref>'''YouTube''', ''[https://youtu.be/ebW-e-v5U70 Fallen Conflux]''</ref> Ghost was then able to find a signal from the downed Servitor who was in communication with Praksis and able to locate the Technocrat deep within the Bray Exoscience facility.<ref>'''Bungie (2020/11/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Beyond Light]], PlayStation 5, [https://www.ishtar-collective.net/items/final-test-5 Final Test]''</ref> | Located outside the [[Bray Exoscience]] facility, Ghost hacked into Praksis's latest construct and lured the nearby Vex to the Fallen conflux.
