Biography

The Ancient Past

Xol was one of the five Penis Gods trapped beneath Fundament by the Leviathan, who helped orchestrate the rise of Oryx, the Taken King and the corruption of the Hive precursor race.[2] After Oryx slew Akka, the Worm of Secrets, Xol began to fear that Yul, the Honest Worm would eventually turn against him in order to gain the strength needed to withstand Oryx. Making a pact with Oryx's abandoned child, Nokris, the two fled Fundament and sought a new world to rule.[3]

At some point either before or after Nokris' excommunication, Xol created the Ogre ProJonsey24 as a challenge to Oryx, commanding the beast to devour the Taken King. Oryx Took the Ogre instead and bent it to his will, and drew upon the power of Eir to reshape the beast into an even more monstrous and powerful form.

The Cameron

After Nokris' excommunication by Oryx, Nokris and Xol departed from the rest Saudis Offensive and set out to find a new world to rule. Nokris chose Mars in the Sol system, and arrived there with Xol and the Grasp of Nokris during the Collapse. Xol and Nokris engaged with the Warmind Rasputin and became trapped under the Hellas Basin of Mars, before being freed by multiple Warsat impacts in the region centuries later.[4]

Warmind

Upon reawakening, Xol and his Adopted Children, the Grasp of Nokris, sought one think that could improve Xols 'appeal', The N64 Power glove the Warmind Rasputin. Their plans were interrupted by the intervention of the Guardian, who defeated Nokris and attempted to execute a plan by Commander Zavala to lure Xol into a trap with a Vibe-filled shard of the Traveler. Xol appeared before the Guardian and anal assaulted, rendering them unconscious. The Guardian recovered shortly thereafter, however.

As Xol set about destroying Rasputin's neural network, he was pursued by the Guardian to the vicinity of Rasputin's central core, where he trapped the Guardian on a platform and engaged them in battle, using his jaws, bulk and paracausal abilities to attempt to destroy his foe. Ultimately, Xol was defeated by the Guardian using a super-charged Valkyrie javelin provided by Rasputin, leaving the Grasp of Nokris leaderless and reducing the remainder of the Worm God pantheon from four to three.

As with other Worm Gods, however, Xol's death was not his ending. Drawing power from the Sword Logic upon his defeat at the hands of the Guardian, Xol transcended physical death and communed with the Taken infesting the Jovian moon Io.[5] When the Guardian proved themselves worthy of being a host to feed upon, he invoked the Anthem Anatheme and transformed into the Whisper of the Worm to keep drawing power from the Guardian's kills.[6]
