Graxus, Blind Captain

First I just want to say thanks for all support with the Destiny National Geographic post. Our budget is getting better and I was able to up Dave's pay from pennies to dimes. Yay. Anyway this post is going to short of be like my Thaviks The Depraved post from many months ago. I will basically try to add lore and depth to bosses that have no lore. Mainly Lost sector bosses. Graxus, Blind Captain It's a very interesting name and yet he's just a copy and pasted captain in a lost sector. So I'm going to give him lore. [b]Location[/b] His location is scavengers den in the EDZ outskirts. I'll talk more about his location in a minute. [b]Name[/b] So how did Graxus get the name Blind Captain. Well first let's figure out if he is really blind. Well it would be pretty stupid if your commanding officer was blind so most likely he is not blind but probably has bad eyesight. How he got bad eyesight was probably from a wound sustained in battle. 3 possible enemies that could have caused this. Cabal Gladiator. Hive knight. Guardian. I have not included thrall or cabal war beast because of the height difference between them. Also vex were not included due to lack of melee combatants. [b]Gladiator[/b] Least likely of the three. The Gladiator uses short range cleavers and is slow but tanky. Due to the cabal weighing at about 300-400lbs they use jet packs to increase maneuverability but Gladiators don't use them. The fallen are very mobile and are always moving this puts the Gladiator at a huge disadvantage. Ultimately it comes down to wether or not you can keep your distance. [b]Hive Knight[/b] Now the hive knight uses pretty big blades so the chance of him suffering an eye injury instead of losing his whole head is very slim. [b]Guardian[/b] Most likely this would be a hunter with golden gun subclass because of their use of knifes. But I find it hard to believe he would survive an encounter with a guardian. So my best guess is this captain was part of the old houses before the red war. And his house must've gotten in a fight with another house. [b]Back to location[/b] So why is he at the EDZ. You'd think he wouldn't even be allowed to fight with his poor vision. Well that's just it he doesn't fight. He is in the EDZ outskirts, the only place without fighting between fallen and cabal. He is a battle strategist that oversees the war against the cabal, planning attacks and raids. [b]Conclusion[/b] Graxus was a captain for one of the houses. His house was battling another house for salvage in a neutral territory. He plans to lead a hit and run on an outpost. During the attack a stealth captain gets behind him and attempts to slit his throat. Graxus ducks out of the way from a bullet causing the other captain to hit his eyes instead of his throat. His allies finished off the rest of the fallen and help him escape. Years later his vision returns but he will always be blind in his left eyes. The fallen houses unite for survival and Graxus, while not the fighter he once was, is used to plan and strategize battles. He, through multiple successful attacks, gains a reputation and the name Graxus, Blind Captain. Soon begins the red war and the fallen start launching offensives all over the EDZ. Graxus is stationed at the scavenger's den where he will remain until he is unfortunately killed by guardians. So I hoped you enjoyed. 🥖🥖🥖

  • Why is it assumed that they are physically blind? It could just as easily refer to an intellectual blindness. Such as blindfully obeying his superiors instead of recognizing bad orders when he hears them... Perhaps he is willfully blind to dangers that others might perceive because of how naturally strong he is and is just able to ignore them....
