AKA: Hiraks the Brain/ Hiraks Ascendant
Not long ago, a Dreg named Hiraks was part of a crew of Fallen on the moon, presumably the House of Exile. He would be part of a raid on the Hellmouth where he would be the sole survivor. How he escaped from the Hellmouth is a story only Hiraks could have told, but what is known is that he emerged as something greater. An Eliksni capable of understanding the laws and logics of the Hive. The other Fallen of Exile, likely disgusted by what Hiraks had become, cast him out and left him to die. But it was there that he would find fellow Scorned Fallen, and together they would be stronger.
With the Scorned Barons, Hiraks would craft his own Throne World and continue experimenting with his understanding of the Hive’s power. His understanding of their laws granted him control over the minds of others, allowing him to manipulate them to his will or just erase their memories to remove any trace of his presence. During this period, he also took In Ananh, Brood Queen as his consort and a Hive Knight as his Familiar. He also attempted to infuse Ether into In Ananh’s Hive, but only succeeding in poisoning them.
Some of the more noticeable crimes he has committed with the Scorn include masterminding the Great Crow Heist, where he trapped and brainwashed Prince Uldren’s Crows, not the robot ones to be clear, and used them to feed misinformation and fuel tension between Earth and the Reef, the Slaughter of Gaspra, a system-wide manhunt for his capture that led to a trap on Gaspra that resulted in the death of 43 Awoken, and the Haunting of Nemesis, where his earliest experiments on the Reef Outpost resulted in the asteroid phasing between our dimension and the Ascendant Realm.
Like many of the other Scorned Barons, he would be captured by Cayde and his Six and sent to the Prison of Elders. And just like his fellow Barons, he would escape from it in a massive Prison Break, as well as be present for Cayde’s death at the hands of Prince Uldren. He and his fellow Barons would later establish themselves in the Tangled Shore in the Spider’s old Hideout.
After the Guardian had drove them out, Hiraks fled to the Jetsam of Saturn, home to a crashed Hive warship, to continue to work on his Throne World, using Cayde’s death to expand it further. The Guardian found him within the Hive ship and would ultimately kill him within his Throne World. Doing this resulted in Hirak’s Throne World would be destabilised and ultimately collapse with Hiraks in it, which would prevent him from being resurrected.

Just a theory, what if the raid that Hiraks was a part of that got him stuck in the hellmouth was the same raid we encountered when we tried to infiltrate the worlds grave?

Unfortunately for Hiraks, he was too obsessed with the Hive to the point where he died like one, and disappeared. Oryx & Crota did it better. Oh well, at least his DNA lives on in the Hive, oh wait..

My man got himself some Hive booty... *applause*

As smart as he was...he was a damn idiot. Though I wonder if The Fanatic can resurrect him still.....
