It was tasked by Oryx to seize the Vault of Glass and co-opt its power, all the while blighting and corrupting the Vex network. Luckily for the Vex, Morphon was destroyed by Guardians. Morphon is the only boss of its mission, but when players seek to find its secret ending, is first before the Blighted Descendant.

Trivia
- According to Morphon's abilities, it's concluded that it could've been a vex entity that was previously dormant in the Vault of Glass before Oryx arrived at the Sol System.
- Because of this, it possible that Morphon could be the Taken version of The Templar
- Unlike Atheon's red Oracles and the Templar's yellow Oracles, Morphon's Oracles are green in color.
- In addition to this, the Taken Hydra's oracles are the only ones that don't act a death mechanisms, but act as shields.
