"The Eliksni must update our approach if we are ever to rise. Either join us as we march toward progress… Or be swept aside with the vestigialities."

— Praksis.

Praksis, the Technocrat is a Fallen from the House of Salvation and one of the most trusted lieutenants for Eramis, Kell of Darkness. Praksis is a skilled Stasis wielder and is as lethal as loyal; who will stop at nothing to advance Eramis's cause.

He is responsible for creating the technology that allows House Salvation to wield Darkness and also has a fondness for the Vex and seeks to use them to improve Eliksni technology. He lobbied to Eramis to use the Vex, so he can reverse engineer them and reassemble their parts into new technology.

Biography

Much of Praksis's life was unknown before he was captured. A former member of the House of Wolves, he was placed in a cell next to Eramis, Kell of Darkness, whom he would later converse with for a majority of his incarceration in the Prison of Elders. During the mass breakout orchestrated by the Scorn, Praksis escaped with Eramis. Later, during the formation of the House of Salvation, he was invited to join by Eramis, which he accepted after a discussion in the prison which made him question his belief in the Traveler. After which Praksis arrived on Europa to find Eramis along with Phylaks, Kridis, Atraks, and to his suprise, Variks. After Variks stole a Splinter of Darkness, Praksis and his soldiers broke into Bray Exoscience and set up shop in Eternity. When the Guardian arrived to kill him, Praksis traveled to the main area of Eternity to try and fight off the Guardian, to which he failed, not only depraving the House of Salvation of a major leader, but also preventing any more of them from being empowered with Stasis.

Personality and Traits

Praksis is a consummate "mad scientist", obsessed with developing new technologies and gathering scientific data with little regard for ethics.

Variks, the Loyal was distrustful of Praksis as he thought he was too young and secretive, while also too self absorbed in his creations which were his legacy.
