Hailing from Zelemos Nexus, Vex grew into his full teleportationaln strength because of Crogenitor Zelem himself.

As one of nthousands of technicians assigned to maintain the Nexus teleportation nnetwork, Vex knew the grid completely. He did not know that constant nexposure to the networkos quantum-gravitic, temporal and wormhole ndistortions were poisoning him. Nor did he or Zelem know that those nquantum-gravitic energies were mutagenically unlocking Vexos latent nability: individual, self-directed teleportation.

When Vex first naccidentally teleported from inside the Nexus out to the vacuum of nspace, he reacted instinctively, teleporting towards what he nenergetically sensed was the safest zone: Zelemos enclave. Alarmed by nthe grotesque alien in front of him in a region he didnot know existed, nVex immediately attempted teleporting away.

Quantum-jumping naround the enclave again and again, Vex destroyed whatever he could to nescape the strange alien he perceived as a captor. Growing more powerfuln with each oport, Vex gained the power of temporal sabotage--the ngravitic warping of time-flow. He slowed Zelem himself with that power, nand would have destroyed him if not for Zelemos wiser defenses.

oPortingn away, Vex realized the strength at his command. When the Darkspore ninvaded soon after, he deployed his powers against them as what heod nbecome: an unstoppable, unpredictable teleportational warrior.
