{{Quote|I never told [[The Guardian|You]] this, but that was my [[Forum:Seriviks|sister]] who've done this. She, (how should I say this)...we didn't left on good terms unfortunately, and now my past has come to haunt me, this time with a full force behind her as well...|[[User:Joskaa|Joskaa]]}}

The Jackal Syndicate was formed when the [[Forum:House of Lions|House of Lions]] had a major dispute between their [[Kell]], [[User:Joskaa|Joskaa]], and his sister, whom was the [[Archon]] at the time, [[Forum:Seriviks|Seriviks]], due to the Kell's wishes for peace amongst the Lions and [[The Last City]], which his sister was against his actions, causing her to defect from her House as a result, taking a large contingent of Lions whom also had a disdain with the Kell's actions. Soon the Lions, on the order of Joskaa, would remove Seriviks from any history of the House regarding her, with only one weapon that presumably notes of the Lion Archon. During her self-exile, Seriviks would began bringing other Fallen from across the System to her cause, with most being former members of the House of Lions, who were still loyal to the Ex-Archon Priestess, and members of the [[Forum:House of Storm|House of Storm]] who were against the rule of Joskaa (after the Storms [[Forum:The Lasting Storms|assimilated]] into the Lions). Seriviks would soon finalize this new faction, calling it "The Jackal Syndicate", formed through her ideals and beliefs of the Fallen's current strengths, ruthlessness, and cunning, with herself as the Syndicate's leader. The Jackals would go into hiding during the events of the [[Red War]], evading from both the House of Lions, and The Last City until the time is right to strike.

The Jackal Syndicate remain hidden for a while until, one day, a Jackal [[Captain]] by the name of [[Forum:Chelsik, the Infiltrator|Chelsik]]  begans an attempt to assassinate on Joskaa and [[Forum:Grayvis|Grayvis]] by hacking Lion [[Shank]]s and [[Walker]]s, while his crew infiltrates the [[Forum:Lions' Run|area]]. [[The Guardian]], However thwarts his attempt and kills him, and the Jackal Syndicate is revealed.

After the Jackals being revealed, Seriviks, the [[Kell]] of Jackals later took refuge on [[Nessus]]. When the Lions found out about this, they sent a [[Guardian]] to take her down. Arriving on Nessus, She was seen along side [[Forum:Giltris, the Prowler|Giltris]], a [[Marauder]]. She, however, escaped leaving Giltris behind only to be killed by the guardian. After the attack, Joskaa orders the guardian to stand down and let his [[Forum:Invisible Claw|Spies]] deal with her.

Despite the Guardian unable to find her, [[Forum:Magnusk, Lions' Wrath|Magnusk, Lions' Wrath]] secretly gave the guardians coordinates to her location, due to her [[Ketch]], [[Forum:Jackalship Semkis-Fel|Jackalship Semkis-Fel]] being found on [[Titan (moon)|Titan]]. After fighting through her [[Kell's Guard]]s and [[Forum:Hagrask, Jackal Enforcer|Ketch Enforcers]], they face her in her throne room. Despite believing in finishing off, However, She escaped. Joskaa orders the guardian of what they were doing, but with driving Seriviks out of her Ketch. He believe that might do better in taking the Jackals down and later left them into finding Jackal bounties, while [[Forum:Kell's Wrath|Kell's Wrath]] was later reopened to attack the Jackals.

With the opening of Kell's Wrath, Guardians all around the system began hunting down the Jackal's [[Baron]], [[Baron]]ess, and Generals such as [[Forum:Thresik, the Swordsman|Thresik, the Swordsman]],  [[Forum:Graksul, the Headhunter|Graksul, the Headhunter]], [[Forum:Kithiks, the Pathfinder|Kithiks, the Pathfinder]], and [[Forum:Pavik, Once Meek|Pavik, Once Meek]], they even made a more bigger blow with the destruction of [[Forum:Semkis Prime, Pretender to Andax|Semkis Prime]], [[Forum:Crimson Widow|The Crimson Widow]], and the [[Forum:Kalsos, Bonded Shank|Metal]] [[Forum:Mirkos, Bonded Shank|Siblings]]. with these victories the House of Lions staged a full-on assault into the [[Forum:The Jackal's Den|The Jackal's Den]] to destroy or capture the Remaining Jackal Leadership. With the help of the Guardians, they were to kill most of Jackals' Generals pushing further into their Lair and meet up with Seriviks. Despites of her Stock pile and reinforcements, they were able to execute her. crippling the Jackals, and the end of the [[Forum:Crusades of the Jackals|Crusades]].

After the crushing defeat, by the hands of The Guardian, The Jackals Syndicate had quickly escaped earth, and traveled to [[Io]], where no Fallen has ever been. There, they captured and utilized the abandoned [[Warmind Vault JYS-2]] and the [[Terrabase Charon]] as their new base of operations, and built a new Prime Servitor, known as [[Forum:Dreksor Prime|Dreksor Prime]], to restore their broken leadership. Then, the Jackals later used the Vault to contact lost and stranded Jackals who are still at the EDZ, at the time to join the rest of them on Io. However, the House of Lions, had intercepted one of the Jackals' signals and sent The Guardian over to the EDZ to track the signal, after fighting to return to the now parked Dreksor-Syn, The Guardian attacks a Fallen escaped party and found the source of the signal, which originated from Io. Suspecting the Jackals may have to do with the signal, Joskaa sends The Guardian over to Io to Investigate, only to find the Jackals patrolling the Ionian fields, after dealing with them. Joskaa orders The Guardian to return to Lions' Run and will investigate their presence and the Jackal's hiding grounds. Later on, the Lions sends the Guardian back to Io, after discovering Jackal Fallen scavenging around [[Excavation Site II]], After fighting and exterminating them. Joskaa discovers the Jackals were only trying to depose the Taken and [[Vex]] who were trying to push the Jackals out of their strongholds. However, while the Lions were investigating the Ionian Jackals, some of the Jackals boldly try to take out, their communication outpost, Lions' Pride, Relay, The leader of this attack was [[Forum:Reksor, Signal Hijacker|Reksor]], a Jackal Baron. There, he successfully managed to either kill or capture the network crew stationed there and hijack the Relay's networks using [[Forum:Calgos-Alpha, Communications Nexus|Calgos-Alpha]], A [[Walker]], modified to hijack communication networks, while raising no alarm to anyone outside the complex. Joskaa, who was troubled by the fact, that no one has responded from the outpost, sens out a Lion search party, led by [[Forum:Grask, Lion Captain|Grask]], a seasoned veteran, to investigate the incident, but unfortunately, the party was captured by Reksor's Crew. Unable respond back, Joskaa sends The Guardian back to the Reef to investigate the Outpost. Only for them, to see the place dominated by Reksor's crew. After defeating Reksor and forces, the Guardian destroys Calgos-Alpha and reactivated Lions' Pride Relay, which Joskaa gets word on the outpost attack. After their quick defeats, Joskaa learns a strange spike of Dreksor Servtiors being sighted on Io, Joskaa believes that, there's a Prime Servitor over Io, producing those Servitors. Once again, he send The Guardian back to Io to search and the Dreksor Prime, after reaching the Warmind Vault JYS-2, and facing the Jackal Prime at [[Giant's Scar]]. The Guardian finally destroys the Prime, finally destroying the Jackal Leadership, and breaking them once more.

 

 

 

Similar to the [[House of Spider]] and [[The Kell's Scourge Syndicate]], the Jackal Syndicate is a criminal enterprise, although more massive than both of the organizations, as well as other Houses, rivaling that of the [[House of Wolves]]' and the [[House of Dusk]]'s numbers. Founded by [[Forum:Seriviks|Seriviks]], a former House [[Archon]] of the [[Forum:House of Lions|House of Lions]], the Syndicate's main goals are to reclaim the [[Traveler]], although, without the restrictions of the Fallen's old beliefs and traditions, believing that the only way the Fallen will take back the Traveler is through their ruthlessness, strengths, wits, and their resilience. The Syndicate also aims to eliminate the noble Houses, as they see them as the very thing that holds them back due to the House's old customs and rules, as well as the Houses' tendency of their prideful nobility and their rivalry with each other. Which the Jackals hopes to destroy the noble Houses in order to allow the Fallen to be free of their old customs.  

The Jackal Syndicate's units, members, and supporters has a very unique appearance, which differs other Fallen Houses and Syndicates. Some of the lower rung Fallen bear no body suits, while all higher rung Fallen, [[Elite]]s and above Jackals bear said bodysuits. Armors of the Jackal's rank-in-file remains generally the same as House of Dusk, although more neater and clean than Dusk's armors, painted in dark orange with Fallen symbols and glyphs or just paint. Many of their units will bear brown capes or scarves often appearing rugged, moth-eaten. Elite class Fallen will bear more robes and vestments, with their armors painted with brown symbols or sploches, along with white colored robes and scarves, as well as thicker armor along with straight pikes sticking out from their backs, decorated with skulls and Ghost Shells, while Automata will be painted and decorated with armor plating. [[Major]] or [[Ultra]] class Fallen will appear extremely advanced compared to their peers, bearing higher tech equipment and armor such as more polygonal and thick armor, 2 wing-like, aesthetic robotic appendages appearing on their backs, voice synthesizers, more ornate vestments, and crimson lights appearing on their armor and optical lenses, with their robes colored in bright orange with symbols painted in the color jade green.
