.

Xol, Will of the Thousands is one of the five Worm Gods of the Hive. He leads the Grasp of Nokris, and is the main antagonist of the Warmind expansion. Xol came into being as one of the great Worm Gods trapped beneath Fundament by the Leviathan, who helped orchestrate the rise of Oryx, the Taken King, and the eventual corruption of the Hive precursor race.

Biography
Prior to the major events of Destiny 2, Xol was trapped under the Hellas Basin of Mars, before being freed by multiple Warsat planetary impacts within the region. Once reawoken, Xol commands his Hive sect, the Grasp of Nokris, to control Mars via disabling the Warmind Rasputin. A Guardian interrupts these plans by defeating Nokris and attempting to execute to lure Xol into a Light-filled shard of the Traveler. However, Xol appears before the Guardian in a telepathic vision, assaults their consciousness and speaks directly to them before fading from sight.

Xol plans to destroy Rasputin's neural network and is pursued by Ana Bray and the Guardian. Upon reaching the central core of Rasputin, the Guardian engages the Hive Worm God in battle. Xol is destroyed by the Guardian via the use of a supercharged Valkryie javelin.
