Lord Shaxx first appeared in Bungie's Destiny in 2014 as the overseer of the Crucible, the game's player versus player mode, voiced by Lennie James. His loud, theatrical encouragement became one of the series' most recognisable voices in Destiny 2, with short lines clipped and shared by players as reactions. This relax, no explosion moment spread through gaming soundboards and edits because it captures his usual intensity applied to an anticlimax, letting fans reuse a familiar voice for harmless mishaps, fake emergencies and overblown scares in multiplayer clips.
