"They are the shadow of an unknown master, harbingers of a power beyond anything we've faced."

The Blood of Oryx is a sect of the Hive. All Hive worship the dark god Oryx, the Taken King, but the Blood of Oryx act as his direct servants.^[1] They are found in the Skywatch on Earth, with many protecting Omnigul as she attempts to breed more Spawn of Crota to rebuild Crota's army. They are also the primary force aboard the Dreadnaught. They are identified by their purple coloring.

It appears that some Taken belongs to the Blood of Oryx.^{[citation needed]}

"Until the Darkness reigns, the Eyes must never close."

— Grimoire description ^[2]

Following a lead from the exiled Warlock Osiris, the Guardians searched the darkest corners of the Hellmouth for the fabled Shrine of Oryx.^[3] The exact nature of Oryx was once unknown to the Guardians, but the name "Oryx" appeared too often in Hive rituals that it could not be ignored. ^[4]

As the Guardian breach into the Shrine, Sardok, Eye of Oryx Hive Champion of the Blood of Oryx is called upon to protect it. Sardok is eventually defeated and the Shrine destroyed. Later it is discovered that Shrines dedicated to Oryx are used by the Hive to communicate with Oryx across the universe and members of the Blood of Oryx Hive brood are thought to be the direct servants of Oryx himself. ^[5]
