Gorgon (Destiny)

==Summary==
The Gorgon is a special type of Vex Axis Mind that resides within the Vault of Glass. It is an Ontological Weapon capable of deciding what is and is not real, with victims of the latter assessment being subject to erasure. A group of Gorgons lay deep within the Vault of Glass and must be avoided or annihilated to continue further in the depths of the Vault.

Attack Potency: Unknown (Doesn't do anything except Gorgon's Gaze)
Speed: Unknown
Lifting Strength: Unknown
Striking Strength: Unknown
Durability: likely Universe level+, possibly Low Multiverse level (They're durable bosses who are encountered right before Atheon, who is this durable)
Stamina: Extremely High, as the collective the Gorgons hail from appear to have endured for eons.
Range: At least Universal+, likely Low Multiversal (Can erase things across the Vault of Glass)
Standard Equipment: None
Intelligence: Supergenius alone (Vex Axis Minds are incredibly advanced Vex computers designed for the most arduous of tasks, while even basic vex drones possess the capabilities to simulate a universe), Nigh-Omniscent when connected to the Vex Collective (All Vex are connected to a collective mind, and as such all information and knowledge can be transferred between them at will. The Vex as a collective can simulate an infinite amount of universes to near perfection, only being unable to comprehend certain beings such as Oryx, the Taken King. Vex are constantly making predictions and simulating possibilities, allowing them to foresee futures with the utmost accuracy. The Vex mind also spans across space and time, with Vex from pasts and futures also contributing information to the collective mind)
Weaknesses: As of now, Gorgons are confined to Vex dominated spaces such as the Vault of Glass.
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
*Gorgon's Gaze: Gorgons have the ability to determine what is and is not real, and what they find to be false is retroactively erased across the Vault of Glass. This erasure is potent enough to erase the victim even from the memories of those outside the Vault, though the Vex have not yet manifested the ability to extrapolate this beyond that space they have already taken over. Kabr, the Legionless, an incredibly powerful guardian who conquered the Vault of Glass alone and sacrificed his own light to forge the Aegis, didn't remember the team members that were erased. His comrades were erased by the Vex causing him to lose all memory of them besides the fleeting knowledge that despite the fact that he was alone while he opened the Vault, he also was not. This contradictory knowledge broke the mind of Kabr, causing him to become completely obsessed with the Vex. Praedyth was another guardian to fall victim to the ontological weaponry of the Vex, only existing as rumors in history and a preserved voice because the Vex allowed it to be so to be used for their own motives.
Note: This profile reflects a Gorgon's capabilities while inside the Vault of Glass.
