"My son Crota came to me, saying / This nameless thing moves sideways / I chased her, and she fled / Kill her now / So I raised her to my court / I named her Lokaar, which means Not There / Thus my son was rebuked against simplicity."

— Oryx, the Taken King

Lokaar is a Hive Wizard that appears as a boss in the Court of Oryx, having joined and named by Oryx for evading the wrath of his son Crota after an attempt on his consort Omnigul's life.

Biography

At some point, Lokaar, an unnamed Wizard at the time, attempted to assassinate Omnigul, Crota's Will and consort to increase her own power. However, the attempt had failed and enraged Crota, Son of Oryx; leading him to attempt to kill her in retaliation. She escaped him using her teleportation to evade his wrath. Crota came up to the King over the situation and wanted him to kill her, but Oryx, the Taken King was impressed by Lokaar's ability. Instead she was placed on his Court and named as "Lokaar", which meant "Not There." This would rebuke Crota's hopes in Lokaar's death against what Oryx labeled as Simplicity.

Lokaar was present with the Court of Oryx when the Gift Mast was destroyed and when Oryx's throne world was moved to the Dreadnaught.

Later during the events of the Taken War, Lokaar was summoned onto the Dreadnaught within Hall of Souls and was challenged by The Guardian, who was patrolling within the ship. Despite her teleporting abilities and waves of Hive at her disposal, she was killed by The Guardian, removing a champion from Oryx's Court.

Gameplay

Lokaar appears as a tier one boss in the Court of Oryx event, labeled as a Ultra, her abilities and strategies is almost the same as a normal Wizard. She can use Darkness Blasts for ranged attacks against her foes, conjur a Poison Cloud to slow and damage the attacker inside it, is protected by a Solar Absorption shield, can fly rapidly, can summon hordes of Hive under her command to hinder the Guardian's attempts at killing her, due to her being an Ultra she is resistant against damage from gunfire or melee attacks. But what stands out in her abilities is her teleportation ability, which allows her to move around areas around the Court with ease, and evade gunfire from her adversaries and to throw their aim off, as well as allowing her to gain an advantage in battle, this can be very tedious to some low leveled Guardians, but if paired with the right team or with the right weapons and supers, taking her down won't be too hard. However, as the event is timed, if the players aren't able to kill her in time she will despawn and force them to restart.
