Hiraks, the Mindbender

==Summary==
Hiraks, the Mindbender is a Scorn Baron and Ascendant Eliksni. Coming to his current status out of nothing, he was once a particularly weak Dreg struggling to survive under the banner of House Exile, a Fallen house composed of rejects and vagrants. He once fell down into the dark depths of the Hellmouth during an Ether raid gone wrong, and was left to die. However, this would not be the case. While the exact events are known only to Hiraks himself, he somehow survived the Hellmouth and emerged altered by the dark powers and biology of the Hive. Hiraks had brute forced his way into Ascendance, and with it came an obsession with the Hive.
Hiraks would later join up with the other Scorn Barons under the common banner of Fikrul, the Fanatic. He played a role in the death of Cayde-6, and this affiliation would ultimately result in his undoing as The Guardian hunted him down and killed him just like the rest of the Scorn.

This allows him a variety of abilities, such as being able to create his own throne world, grow stronger by killing powerful beings, grow larger with strength, survive the Hellmouth, and defeat enemies by "Etching his harshest truths upon his enemies". The Sword Logic allows others such as Oryx, the Taken King to establish their wills as truth to the point of destroying axioms spanning the entire Ascendant Plane, but Hiraks is nowhere near as powerful as Oryx)
|-|Resistances=Resistance to Information Analysis, Analytical Prediction, Duplication, Precognition, Power Mimicry (The Vex can't simulate paracausal entitiesOsirisAdventure: Deep Conversation), Power Absorption, Power Modification, Power Nullification (Nothing happens when he is hit by Suppression Grenades, which prevent the victim from using their abilities.

Hiraks is also unaffected by its brain stain, infection by a contagious ideaOn the Hunt), Fusionism (Can maintain his 'shape' within the Ascendant Plane), and Corruption (Hiraks has grafted Hive biology on to his own body and is no worse for wear. Hive material has been known to corrupt entire planets over time)

Attack Potency: Large Country level+ (Hiraks is a powerful Ascendant Scorn Baron and after taking the Sword Logic from the murder of Hunter Vanguard Cayde-6, he was able to create his own Throne WorldAdventure: Target: The Mindbender)
Speed: Massively Hypersonic+ (Should be comparable to Guardians such as Warlocks)
Lifting Strength: At least Class 5 (Hiraks is physically superior to most Titans. Titan helmets are heavy enough to snap a human neckDestiny 2 2017 and other armor pieces are heavy enough to break skullsKnight Type 1 and rocksFieldplate through sheer mass. A Titan knocked down a weakened OgreWild Hunt Plate, which are roughly the size of an elephant), likely Class P (Can match most Guardians, such as Warlocks, at their strongest)
Striking Strength: Large Country level+
Durability: Large Country level+ (Comparable to his AP)
Stamina: Likely Superhuman (As he survived alone in the Hellmouth for unknown but doubtlessly very long amounts of time. Due to becoming ascendant, he can sustain himself with pure death)
Range: Interdimensional, hundreds of meters with weapons, at least kilometers with mind manipulation
Standard Equipment:
*Scorn Boomer: Hiraks carries a weapon adapted from the traditional Hive boomer that functions as a rapid fire grenade launcher.
*Void Totem: Hiraks carries a Void Totem capable of spawning constructs that generate a Void shield around him. These constructs are destructible, but he can resummon them and summon multiple should he desire.
Intelligence: Hiraks is a very intelligent and resourceful Eliksni. He survived the horrors of the Hellmouth alone as a meek little Dreg and while there learned enough about the Hive and their abilities to not only emerge from the Hellmouth at all, but to emerge transformed into an Ascendant being far stronger than before. His usurpation of the Hive powers allowed him to create his own Throne World, a feat thought by the Ghost to be impossible for non hive. Hiraks has the intelligence necessary to experiment with and further develop his alien powers and has accomplished feats nobody else besides Oryx has demonstrated such as overlapping his Ascendant Realm with reality. Able to lead the Crows of the Awoken into a trap and manipulate them in a way to sneakily incite tensions between the Reef and Earth, while also hiding his own interference in these developments.
Weaknesses: Like all ascendant beings, if he is killed in his Throne World it will be a final death, bypassing his immortalities and regeneration.
