{{Quote|I will pay any price... to be there when you die!|Fikrul}}<ref name=GIBarons>[https://web.archive.org/web/20230309143734/https://www.gameinformer.com/2018/07/05/these-are-the-eight-barons-who-helped-kill-cayde-6-in-destiny-2-forsaken '''Game Informer''': ''These Are The Eight Barons Who Helped Kill Cayde-6 In Destiny 2: Forsaken'']</ref>

'''Fikrul, the Fanatic''' is the leader of the [[Scorn|Scorned Baron]]s, and the [[Kell]] of the [[Scorn]]. As the only member of the group to escape capture, he fled into hiding while his comrades were imprisoned within the [[Prison of Elders]]. Fikrul believes that the Scorn are the natural evolution of the [[Fallen]], and that through his leadership, the race can find immortality. He is a [[Chieftain]] class Scorn leader and the boss of the [[Nothing Left to Say]] [[Story Mission]] as well as the [[The Hollowed Lair|Hollowed Lair]] [[Strike]].

Due to the nature of his resurrection abilities, Fikrul can seemingly never truly be killed and has retorted that he will continue to return to seek vengeance upon the [[The Guardian|Guardian]]. Fikrul has the ability to corrupt the ether inside Eliksni, turning them into Scorn.

==Biography==
===Fallen Archon===
Fikrul was once a well-regarded Archon Priest of [[Kaliks Prime]] within the [[House of Wolves]] but was soon cast out after speaking against the [[Great Machine]] and lamenting his species' dependence on [[Servitors]] for survival and would be replaced by [[Aksor, Archon Priest]]. His words would later influence others like the techno-deviant [[Devil Splicers]] of the [[Plaguelands]], while Fikrul himself explored his own darker interpretations of faith.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]] - [[Lore:The Lawless Frontier|The Lawless Frontier]]: [[Lore:The Lawless Frontier#An Evolution of Faith|An Evolution of Faith]]''</ref>

Following the [[Taken War]], Fikrul would go on to lead a group of lowly [[Dreg]]s cast out from the [[House of Exile]], who collectively titled themselves the Scorned Barons.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]] - [[Lore:Most Loyal|Most Loyal]]: [[Lore:Most Loyal#Roll Call|Roll Call]]''</ref> Together, they unleashed havoc amongst the Reefborn [[Awoken]] and various Fallen Houses in the [[Reef]], ultimately leading to the demise of the [[House of Wolves]] through the destruction of all their Servitors.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]] - [[Lore:The Lawless Frontier|The Lawless Frontier]]: [[Lore:The Lawless Frontier#Anguish, Ten-Fold|Anguish, Ten-Fold]]''</ref> They would later be captured after a final standoff with [[Petra Venj]], [[Cayde-6]] and his Six. At the start of the fight, Fikrul would take three [[Golden Gun]] shots to the chest and was presumed dead.<ref>'''Bungie (2019/7/17)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Destiny: Cayde's Six#Part 2|Cayde's Six: Part 2]]''</ref> 

===Rise of the Scorn===
[[File:FikrulUldren.jpg|thumb|300px|Fikrul alongside Uldren, his "kindred spirit"]]

At some point following the Taken War, [[Prince Uldren]] allied with the [[House of Kings]], and in his search for [[Mara Sov]] he discovered a mortally wounded Fikrul. Uldren wished that he could save the dying Fallen; his wish was heard by [[Riven]], the [[Taken]] [[Ahamkara]] residing in the [[Dreaming City]], who Uldren had long ago brought to the Reef as a hatchling. Riven granted Uldren's wish by infusing some of Uldren's [[Darkness]] into Fikrul's [[Ether]], creating [[Dark Ether]] and raising him as the first Scorn.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]] - [[Lore:The Forsaken Prince|The Forsaken Prince]]: [[Lore:The Forsaken Prince#Fanatic_.7C_Part_II|Fanatic | Part II]]''</ref> Fikrul thereafter treated Uldren with devotion and reverence, calling him "Father" and believing that Uldren had granted him his new life and powers.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]] - [[Lore:The Forsaken Prince|The Forsaken Prince]]: [[Lore:The Forsaken Prince#Fikrul|Fikrul]]''</ref>

In gratitude, Fikrul would assist Uldren in taking out the [[House of Kings]], usurping [[Craask, Kell of Kings]] who conflicted with his ambitions. In a grand betrayal, Uldren summoned Fikrul to dock Craask of all four of his arms and reduce the former Kell to the rank of a Dreg.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]] - [[Lore:The Forsaken Prince|The Forsaken Prince]] [[Lore:The Forsaken Prince#Docking|Docking]]''</ref> Rumors later circulated among the Fallen that Uldren and Fikrul had slain Craask outright, along with the entire House which Fikrul then raised as the first undead [[Scorn]] with his Dark Ether.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]] - [[Lore:Most Loyal|Most Loyal]]: [[Lore:Most Loyal#Job Undone|Job Undone]]''</ref>

A year after the Red War, both Uldren and Fikrul were caught by [[Cayde-6]] and taken to the [[Prison of Elders]]. When [[Variks, the Loyal]] imprisoned Fikrul, he attempted to extract his Ether via extraction Servitors, only for Fikrul to laugh and unnerve Variks.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]] - [[Lore:Most Loyal|Most Loyal]]: [[Lore:Most Loyal#Two Cells|Two Cells]]''</ref> As Variks observed Uldren looking to corner of the room for his sister, the extraction Servitors exploded due to Fikrul's Dark Ether. Afterwards, Variks accused him of his twisted Ether coming from betraying Kaliks Prime to the Taken, to which Fikrul replied that Kaliks had abandoned the Eliksni altogether and stated that he had been freed from the need of Servitors thanks to Uldren.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]] - [[Lore:Most Loyal|Most Loyal]]: [[Lore:Most Loyal#Revolution|Revolution]]''</ref>

Over time, thanks in part to Riven's manipulation, Uldren and Fikrul took advantage of [[Variks]]'s waning loyalty and tricked him into releasing all of the prison's inmates.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]] - [[Lore:Most Loyal|Most Loyal]]: [[Lore:Most Loyal#Where Loyalties Lie|Where Loyalties Lie]]''</ref> This would allow Fikrul, Uldren, the other Barons and the Scorn to escape, and get Cayde-6 killed as he attempted to stop them.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]] - [[Last Call]]''</ref>

===Prison Escape===
[[File:FikrulNothingLeft.jpg|thumb|300px|Fikrul the Fanatic fighting in the Awoken Watchtower]]
{{Quote|Kill a Fallen, I claim it as Scorn. Kill a Scorn, I raise ten more!|Fikrul, the Fanatic}}
With the Scorned Barons now freed, Fikrul and the other Barons were offered the bounty of the [[Tangled Shore]] by [[Uldren]] as a reward for their loyalty, bringing chaos to the local [[Spider's Syndicate|Fallen]] under [[The Spider]]'s command. As a result, their hideout was tipped off to a vengeance-seeking [[The Guardian|Guardian]] causing the Barons to flee whilst Fikrul raises a [[Scorn of the Fanatic|powerful Scorn]] to face the Guardian, all while mocking them over his necromantic mastery of [[Dark Ether]] before fleeing.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]] - [[High Plains Blues]]''</ref><ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]] - [[Scorned]]''</ref>

When the Guardian finished [[The Machinist]] and the other six Scorned Barons, Fikrul and the remaining [[Scorn]] accompanied Uldren on his travels to unseal the [[Dreaming City]], warning him of the immediate [[Taken|danger]] that posed beyond the point of entry. Fikrul offered to go into [[The Watchtower]] in Uldren's stead but was told to defend it from the Guardian. Accepting his orders, Fikrul challenges the Guardian themselves to avenge his Scorned brethren only to die by their hands instead, avenging [[Cayde-6]] of the Barons who slew him.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]] - [[Nothing Left to Say]]''</ref>

Unlike the other [[Scorn]] that died to the Guardian, however, Fikrul can resurrect himself thanks to the [[Dark Ether]] within. Recognizing his resurrecting abilities were similar to that of a [[Guardian]], the [[Vanguard]] assigned multiple [[Strike]] teams to continuously put him down to suppress the Fanatic and put a stop to his plans to resurrect the other Barons, and claiming Uldren Sov's remains from the Dreaming City. The [[Praxic Order]] reached out to [[Cryptarch]]s and [[Gensym Scribes]] for ways to permanently destroy him.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]] - [[The Hollowed Lair]]''</ref><ref>'''Bungie (2019/3/5)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Drifter]] - [[Lore:Stolen Intelligence|Stolen Intelligence]]: [[Lore:Stolen Intelligence#Outliers|Outliers]]''</ref>

===Nightmare Legacy===
[[File:Nightmare Fikrul.jpg|thumb|300px|The Nightmare of Fikrul]] 
{{Quote|In the depths of the Prison of Elders, the Fanatic found his calling. With his fellow Barons by his side, the Fanatic murdered Cayde-6 on the orders of former Prince of the Reef, Uldren Sov. The Fanatic was able to resurrect the dead. It's only fitting the Pyramid would do the same for him.|[[Eris Morn]]}}
A year after the defeat of the Barons, the Guardian would encounter a [[Nightmare]] - a Darkness-created phantom - in the shape of the Fanatic after they attempted to enter [[the Lunar Pyramid]] beneath the Moon's surface but would be forced to retreat after being nearly overwhelmed by the Nightmare of [[Crota]] after the Nightmares of the Fanatic and [[Dominus Ghaul]] joined it.<ref>'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Shadowkeep]] - [[A Mysterious Disturbance]]''</ref> But, with help from [[Eris Morn]], the Guardian would attempt to enter the Pyramid again, now armed with the knowledge and armor needed to combat the Nightmares. After entering the Pyramid, the Guardian battled with the Darkness-fueled image of Fikrul but the Nightmare of one of the Guardian's more personal foes is defeated, the Guardian overcoming the Darkness's attempts at tormenting them.<ref>'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Shadowkeep]] - [[Beyond (mission)|Beyond]]''</ref>

At a later date, the Guardians would conduct Nightmare Hunts to push back the Pyramid's influence which often results in the creation of more Nightmares. One such hunt had Guardians face the [[Nightmare of the Fanatic]], representing the Essence of Insanity. After a struggle that led the Guardians to the ruined Shrine of Oryx, the Guardians succeeded in putting the Nightmare down.<ref>'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Shadowkeep]] - [[Nightmare Hunt|Nightmare Hunt: Insanity]]''</ref>. The Nightmare of the Fanatic would return to haunt the Guardians years later, aboard the [[Leviathan (ship)|Derelict Leviathan]], under the control of [[Emperor Calus]].<ref>'''Bungie (2022/5/24)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Haunted]] - [[Sever]] [[Sever#Sever: Shame / Sever: Reconciliation|- Shame]]''</ref>

===In Hiding===
{{Quote|These Eliksni, they speak of Scorn risen on Earth, where dead things will hunt them, or Darkness claims them. We serve only Scorn!|Fikrul, the Fanatic}}
Sometime after the [[Exorcism]] of [[Savathûn's Worm]] from the [[Savathûn, the Witch Queen|Witch Queen]]'s body, but before the appearance of [[The Lure]] over the returned [[Mars]], the Fanatic was said to have been driven from the Tangled Shore, though his exact whereabouts were unknown.<ref>'''Bungie (2022/2/22)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[The Witch Queen]] - [[Story mission]]: [[The Ghosts]]''</ref> In his absence, the majority of the Scorn raised in the system would fall under the control of the [[The Witness|Witness]], where they would be used as mindless vessels and cannon fodder to further its goals. Conversely, Fikrul would remain independent of the Witness and sought to unite the Scorn under his rule again.

Prior to the [[Hunt for Riven's Clutch]], aboard a commandeered Ketch, Fikrul would address a crew of Scorn loyal to him of rumors he had heard of Scorn being raised on Earth near an old ruined castle in the [[European Dead Zone]]. It was soon revealed that the Scorn that roamed this castle were former Eliksni members from the House of Kings who were resurrected via a wish granted by a [[Hefnd|Dead Ahamkara]]. Fikrul would task five of his knights led by [[Rathil, First Broken Knight of Fikrul|Rathil]] to infiltrate the castle and recruit the Scorn there to join their cause before the Guardians could kill them or the Witness could claim them.<ref>'''Bungie (2023/11/28)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Wish]] - Item Description: [[Buried Bloodline#Lore|Buried Bloodline]]''</ref> Unfortunately for Fikrul, the Ahamkara within the ruins took advantage of this and used its influence to bend all of Fikrul's forces to its will, pairing them up with the [[Taken]] who were also under its control. Furthermore, Petra Venj and Uldren Sov, now reborn as the [[Hunter]] Crow, took notice of this movement and called in the Guardian to investigate. Fikrul's secret operation would ultimately fail with the Guardian and their fireteam clearing the Scorn out of the ruins, killing all of Fikrul's Knights, slaying [[Hefnd's Vengeance, Blighted Chimaera|the Ahamkara's Avatar]], and securing its remains.<ref>'''Bungie (2023/11/28)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Wish]] - [[Warlord's Ruin]]''</ref>

Fikrul's plans of finding Ahamkara power were not over, however, as he would later task his Scorn with trying to secure one of Riven's eggs. Osiris and Mara Sov observed the Scorn sent in and realized they were not under The Witness's control, as they bore Fikrul's mark. It was there that they knew that Fikrul's goal was to make a wish, although the nature of this wish is currently unknown. Regardless, the Guardian would storm into the location of Riven's last remaining egg, where they would fight and slay Fikrul's Champion [[Elikaa, the Pale Rot]] before he could enact Fikrul's wish.<ref>'''Bungie (2023/11/28)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Wish]] - [[Chiasmus]]''</ref>

Despite his failure to claim the last of Riven's eggs, Fikrul would remain in hiding, outside of the Vanguard's sight, not taking part in the Coalition's final battle with the Witness as the Guardian managed to successfully enter the Traveler's [[Pale Heart]]. After much sacrifice and tremendous struggle, the Coalition's united efforts succeeded in destroying the Witness forever, thwarting the Final Shape. Though the people rejoiced at the fall of their great enemy, there was still much work to be done with Crow, now fully risen as the new Hunter Vanguard, making it his mission to track down Fikrul's whereabouts, with Spider and Variks aiding him in this endeavor.

===New Kell of Kells===
[[File:RevenantFikrul1.jpg|thumb|300px|Fikrul raising his Echo enhanced staff]]
{{Quote|Since father Uldren, Scorn were born dead. Great Machine for Humans only. No more. Now I am blessed with light. Power to make life!|Fikrul, the Fanatic}} 
Shortly after the [[The Witness|Witness]]' defeat, several paracausal artifacts known as [[Echo (object)|Echoes]] broke off from [[the Traveler|Traveler]] and scattered all across the solar system. One of which would find its way into Fikrul's hands. He would imbue the Echo into his staff, granting him new vigor and power over the [[Light]]. Fikrul would use this power to begin corrupting living Eliksni into a newly evolved breed of Scorn, referred to as [[Revenant Scorn|Na-Veskirisk]] ("not lifeless") in Eliskni. After amassing a sizable army of Revenant Scorn to his cause, Fikrul attacked [[Riis-Reborn]] in an attempt to capture and transform as many Eliksni as possible into Scorn, adding them to his new army.<ref name="Na-Veskirisk>'''Bungie (2024/10/8)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Episode: Revenant]] - [[Na-Veskirisk]]''</ref>

During the siege, the [[The Guardian|Guardian]] and [[Uldren Sov|Crow]] appeared on-site to find [[Eramis, Kell of Darkness]] who returned to the system to help defend her people. Fikrul picked up on this and would ambush the Guardian and Eramis with a small deployment of Scorn led by a [[Revenant Baron]]. The ambush failed and the group fled onto the [[H.E.L.M.]] with Eramis in custody. Fikrul however, followed after them and transmated abord the H.E.L.M. in front of the group. The Fanatic announced to Crow that he had been gifted with the power to make all Eliksni their children. In a demonstration of his newfound power, he used the Echo to corrupt the Eliksni crew within a House Salvation Ketch who were attempting to rescue Eramis, turning them into Revenant Scorn. After proclaiming himself as [[Kell#Kell_of_Kells_Prophecy|Kell of Kells]], Fikrul transmated away as the Ketch crashed into the H.E.L.M., causing the ship to crash onto [[Europa]]'s surface.<ref name="Na-Veskirisk/>

Later on, after Eramis gave the Guardian the coordinates to a House Salvation enclave in [[Kell's Grave]], Fikrul appeared again shortly after Crow and the Guardian arrived, telling them that he and his Scorn have been waiting for them. After arriving at Fikrul's location, Crow parleyed with his faithful acolyte in an attempt to convince him to stop. Fikrul meanwhile, attempted to reach out to his 'father' and get him to join his cause so they may rule together, with Crow as King and Fikrul as Kell. However, Crow rejected this offer and told Fikrul to let the Eliksni prisoners go, coming clean with how he lied and wronged Fikrul and his [[Scorned Barons|Barons]], explaining how it was a fit of delusion. Fikrul however, refused to believe his 'father' would say such things to him after everything he did for him, appalled that a [[Guardian|"dead thing"]] would wear his father's face and use his voice, yet forget his purpose. Scorned, Fikrul would order their deaths and retreat, vowing to rip Crow from Uldren's bones. Luckily, the Guardian managed to free the Eliksni prisoners and disarmed an explosive device from destroying the area and claiming more lives. Although, Crow still felt bad that he was unable to talk some sense into Fikrul, stating that it was his fault that death was all Fikrul believed in.<ref>'''Bungie (2024/10/8)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Episode: Revenant]] - [[Something Left to Say]]''</ref>

==Personality and traits==
[[File:Scorn Gathering.jpg|thumb|300px|Fikrul alongside his fellow Barons]]

Like all Scorn, Fikrul displays a degree of insanity, though he is more coherent than many of his Scorn underlings or some of the other Barons. Fikrul appears to see the Scorn as a family, as he refers to Uldren as "Father", calls the other Scorn Barons his siblings, and calls his Scorn underlings his children. This is further supported by his genuine outrage at the other Barons' death at the hand of The Guardian, as well as his willingness to resurrect his inferiors, as well as any deceased Fallen as Scorn (although the latter could easily be more driven by his goals and his need of an army to complete them). He also doesn't believe in killing without purpose (he only kills to "immortalize" an Eliksni or further his sense of righteousness), and as such berates The Guardian for murdering the Scorn Barons just to pursue revenge. It also seems that he genuinely cares for the Eliksni species, as he howls at The Guardian for murdering countless Fallen, who have done nothing but try to survive. Overall, it seems Fikrul is more of an anti-villain; he has sympathetic intentions and is far from truly evil or immoral, but he is still willing to commit dark acts to carry out what he perceives as good or just.

==Gameplay==
===Nothing Left to Say/The Hollowed Lair===
Fikrul engages the player with his [[Fanatic's Staff|signature lightning staff]], which fires charged [[Arc]] projectiles that can break a [[Guardian]]'s shield in just a few hits, akin to a [[Wire Rifle]]. He will also use his staff to summon large electric circles known as Wrath of the Scorned, which can summon lesser Scorn units; these circles take up a large space and can deal heavy shocking damage over time to anyone that stands within it. Occasionally, whenever his health reaches a certain threshold, Fikrul will surround himself with [[Void]] energy to render him immune to all damage shortly before teleporting the player into the air, surrounding himself with a random elemental shield, and tethering them to his staff, dragging them towards him so he can smash the ground to break their shields and knock them back. To keep up his attack, he will teleport towards the player and overwhelm them with high-impact electric staff projectiles. Fikrul's powerful attacks and tether ability make him quite possibly the most dangerous Scorn Baron to engage, for the only safe way to engage him is keeping as much distance between him and oneself as possible.

==Trivia==
*Fikrul is voiced by [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matthew_Mercer Matthew Mercer].<ref>'''[https://twitter.com/matthewmercer/status/1037180161978851328 Matthew Mercer tweet] (2018/9/4)'''</ref>
*Fikrul is the third English-speaking [[Fallen]] observed, behind [[Variks, The Loyal]] and [[the Spider]], but is the first Fallen antagonist to speak the language.
*Fikrul refers to Uldren Sov as Father, likely out of gratitude under the belief that Uldren gifted him with his powers.
*Fikrul's helmet design bears a strong resemblance to the Scorn's faction symbol.
*For some reason, he appears to not be able to just revive all his brothers and sisters. Only Elykris has returned as the heroic public event boss.
**It could be that some of the Scorns bodies were destroyed by the Guardians leaving nothing to resurrect. An example of this would [[Hiraks, the Mindbender]] whose body was lost when his [[Ascendant Realm]] collapsed after he died. However, resurrecting them all at once is still possible, as in the Strike, he said that the "Scorn Barons Rise Again" implying he was attempting to do just that.
*In his dialogue, Fikrul will often refer to the Guardian as "dead thing". This is most likely a reference to the Grimoire card Legend: The Black Garden, in which the [[Thanatonaut]] [[Pujari]] is called this by a flower in the shape of a Ghost within his vision of the [[Black Garden]].
**Fikrul's statements of "Killing is ALL you do!" and "Killing just to kill" are also similar to this.
*Fikrul's rebellion against the Traveler could be the reason why [[Kaliks Prime]] abandoned the [[Fallen|Eliksni]].
*While it is currently unknown if this trick works in the Nothing Left to Say mission, breaking Fikrul's elemental shield while being tethered in the Hollowed Lair strike causes Fikrul to be momentarily staggered, negating his Ultra Smash and granting you a few-second window to do free damage. Whether this is a bug or an intentional weakness is unknown.
**However, if the strike modifier, "Iron" is on, he can not be staggered, and will still swing.
*Fikrul has a similar inconsistent height issue as [[Eramis, Kell of Darkness]]. Where in gameplay and Forsaken's cutscenes he towers over almost all other Eliksni, in Episode: Revenant's cutscenes he is the average height of a [[Captain]] or [[Chieftain]].
