The '''Kell's Scourge''' was a crime syndicate of anarchist [[Fallen]] led by [[Siviks, Lost to None]], the deranged brother of the [[Spider]]. They are hellbent on sowing chaos wherever they go and actively seek to use the technology of the [[Black Armory]] to gain power and control. They would later be subsumed into the ranks of the [[House of Salvation]] where some of their [[Brig|technology]] would be used.

==History==
==History==
Prior to the events of ''[[Forsaken]]'', Siviks was captured and imprisoned by his brother. Over time the brothers drifted in ideology and eventually, Sivik's trouble-making pushed The Spider to send him to the [[Prison of Elders]]. Eventually, he would make his escape during the [[Hunt for the Scorn|mass breakout]] of the prison and formed the Kell's Scourge as a rival syndicate to his brother's.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/12/7)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Forge]] - Item Description: [https://www.ishtar-collective.net/items/the-new-syndicates-identity The New Syndicate's Identity]''</ref><ref name="Anarchy"/>
Before the events of ''[[Forsaken]]'', Siviks previously fell out with his brother over his affable relationship with [[humanity]] and was imprisoned in the [[Prison of Elders]], only to escape during its [[Hunt_for_the_Scorn|mass breakout]] and formed the Kell's Scourge as a rival syndicate against his brother's.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/12/7)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Black Armory (expansion)|Black Armory]], Activision Blizzard, Transcript:[https://www.ishtar-collective.net/items/the-new-syndicates-identity The New Syndicate's Identity]''</ref><ref name="Anarchy"/> Siviks and his crew uncovered the lost [[Gofannon Forge]] from the [[Exodus Black]] on [[Nessus]], to which they use to upgrade their weaponry with [[Black Armory]] technology.<ref name="Gofannon">'''Bungie (2018/12/7)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Black Armory (expansion)|Black Armory]], Activision Blizzard, Transcript: [https://www.ishtar-collective.net/items/scourge-of-the-armory Scourge of the Armory]''</ref>


Forming holdouts all across the [[EDZ]], the Scourge began smuggling their tainted Black Armory contraband to [[House of Dusk]] deserters whilst making a push into the Spider's [[Tangled Shore|territory]] as his competition. When the Fallen-manufactured Black Armory gear made its way to the Guardians, [[Ada-1]] immediately enlists them in recovering said gear as evidence presented to the Spider. Taken notice of his growing competition in the Tangled Shore, the Fallen mob boss had Guardians scavenge the local Fallen for information regarding Siviks' newly-uncovered syndicate and tasks them to put his brother down.<ref> '''Bungie (2018/12/7)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Black Armory (expansion)|Black Armory]], Activision Blizzard, Transcript: [https://www.ishtar-collective.net/transcripts/quest-the-new-syndicates-identity-the-spiders-competition Spider's Competition]''</ref>


[[File:Siviks.gif|300px|thumb|right|Siviks, Lost to None]]


In the intervening chaos, Siviks and his crew uncovered the lost [[Gofannon Forge]] on [[Nessus]] from the [[Exodus Black]]. The syndicate then began using this newfound technological might to upgrade their weaponry with ancient [[Black Armory]] technology.<ref name="Gofannon">'''Bungie (2018/12/7)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Forge]] - Item Description: [https://www.ishtar-collective.net/items/scourge-of-the-armory Scourge of the Armory]''</ref> First forming holdouts across the [[EDZ]], the Scourge began smuggling their tainted Black Armory contraband to [[House of Dusk]] deserters whilst making a push into the Spider's [[Tangled Shore|territory]] as his competition.  
Attempts at tracking Siviks and his tainted Black Armory caches across the European Dead Zone lead to a delivery note yielding the Scourge's [[The Conflux|hideout]] on Nessus. There the Guardians disrupted an exchange between Siviks and [[Telksis the Pillager, Kell's Scourge|Telksis, the Pillager]]. Killing the latter, the Guardians successfully recovered the caches and secured the Gofannon Forge from [[Serekis-9, Kell's Scourge|Serekis-9]].<ref name=Gofannon/>


When rumors began spreading in Guardian circles about Eliksni-manufactured Black Armory weaponry, [[Ada-1]] immediately enlists The Guardian in recovering the technology. Suddenly taking notice of his growing competition in the Tangled Shore, The Spider had Guardians scavenge the local Fallen for information regarding Siviks' newly-discovered syndicate and tasks them to put his brother down.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/12/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Forge]] - [[The Spider]]: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vuCwEqplEIM|"Siviks- 'lost to none.'

A harsher lesson might be in order. And, friend? Don't hold back."]''</ref>
With sections of it ruined and still recovering from the [[Red War]], the Kell's Scourge had infiltrated their forces into the Botza District of the [[Last City]] and locate the Armory's lost [[Vault Ebisu]], creating their [[Prime Servitor]], [[Insurrection Prime, Kell's Scourge|Insurrection Prime]] as a massive war mech from the vault's stolen phase technology after plundering it of its powerful weapons. In retaliation, Ada and the [[Vanguard]] issued a six manned [[raid]] into Scourge territory and secure the vault at all costs. Insurrection Prime was destroyed, but not before the Scourge stole pages from the private log of the Armory's founder [[Henriette Meyrin]]; to which the Guardians would retrieve from the Fallen.<ref> '''Bungie (2018/12/7)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Black Armory (expansion)|Black Armory]], Activision Blizzard, [[Scourge of the Past]]''</ref><ref>'''Bungie (2018/12/7)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Black Armory (expansion)|Black Armory]], Activision Blizzard, [https://www.ishtar-collective.net/transcripts/the-black-armory-papers?highlight=Black+armory+pages The Black Armory Pages]''</ref>


[[File:Siviks.gif|300px|thumb|Siviks, Lost to None]]
In a final bid to gain an edge over the Guardians and competition, Siviks sought the secrets of [[Obsidian Accelerator|Project Niobe]], an initiative to develop and produce enhanced Black Armory prototypes. Following up on clues to its whereabouts in the stolen pages of Meyrin's journal, Siviks lead the Scourge to take over the restricted [[Niobe Labs]], attaining control over its security protocols and the Bergusia Forge hidden within. Their victory was however short-lived with the arrival of the Guardians thwarting their efforts to secure the forge, causing Siviks to retreat and leaving the Guardians to claim their prize.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/1/8)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Black Armory (expansion)|Black Armory]], Activision Blizzard, [https://www.ishtar-collective.net/items/niobes-torment?highlight=Niobe%27s Niobe's Torment]''</ref>

There, the Guardian disrupted an exchange between Siviks and [[Telksis the Pillager, Kell's Scourge|Telksis the Pillager]], killing the latter and recovering the caches before going on to secure the Gofannon Forge from a powerful High Servitor, [[Serekis-9, Kell's Scourge|Serekis-9]].<ref> '''Bungie (2018/1/8)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Forge]] - [[Scourge of the Armory]]''</ref><ref> '''Bungie (2018/1/8)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Forge]] - [[Origin: Nessus]]''</ref>
Siviks was ultimately killed in a final standoff against the [[Guardian]]; who helped Ada-1 to reclaim the Black Armory's last remaining secrets and technology whilst leaving the Kell's Scourge leaderless and utterly crippled.<ref> '''Bungie (2018/1/8)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Black Armory (expansion)|Black Armory]], Activision Blizzard, [https://www.ishtar-collective.net/transcripts/quest-not-a-weapon-lock-and-key Lock and Key]''</ref><ref>'''Bungie (2018/1/8)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Black Armory (expansion)|Black Armory]], Activision Blizzard, [https://www.ishtar-collective.net/transcripts/quest-the-obsidian-accelerator?highlight=Obsidian+accelerator The Obsidian Accelerator]''</ref>


With huge portions of the [[The Last City|Last City's]] Botza District in ruins and still recovering from the [[Red War]], the Kell's Scourge infiltrated and located the Black Armory's lost [[Vault Ebisu]]. There they created their [[Prime Servitor]], [[INSURRECTION PRIME, Kell's Scourge|INSURRECTION PRIME]], a gargantuan war mech utilizing the vault's stolen phase technology. In retaliation, Ada-1 and the [[Vanguard]] issued a six-manned [[raid]] into the Botza District to secure the vault at all costs. Six guardians successfully battled their way through Scourge territory and fought the syndicate's war mech guarding Vault Ebisu. Whilst Insurrection Prime was destroyed, it wasn't before the Kell's Scourge stole invaluable pages from the private log of the Armory's founder, [[Henriette Meyrin]]. Guardians were tasked to retrieve these documents from Fallen enemies and return them to Meyrin's heir, Ada-1.<ref> '''Bungie (2018/12/7)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Forge]] - [[Scourge of the Past]]''</ref><ref>'''Bungie (2018/12/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Forge]] - [[Ada-1]]: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yPEwPOigCHQ|"For centuries, Guardians have been barred from our history.

Siviks desecrated them… Tore many of the pages from their bindings. They must be recovered if we're to know what he's after."]''</ref>
A few years after their assault on the Last City and Siviks's death, remnants of the Kell's Scourge would pledge their allegiance to [[Eramis, Kell of Darkness]] and her [[House of Salvation]]. Using their technology, the House of Salvation was able to create weaker but mass produced versions of Insurrection Prime called [[Brig]]s, giving them powerful artillery support on the battlefield. Larger variants were also constructed known as Commodores, however they still lacked the Black Armory technology Insurrection wielded.<ref>'''Bungie (2020/11/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Beyond Light]]'', ''[[Variks, the Loyal]]: [[Variks, the Loyal#Quotes|Technology taken from the Kell's Scourge.

The Kell's Scourge is similar to the [[House of Spider]] despite their animosity, with both groups being criminal syndicates working for tyrannical leaders looking out for their own interests. Despite the hierarchical similarities, the Scourge have considerably more advanced technology, developing a new type of [[Brig|war machine]], shields and weaponry with the [[Black Armory]]'s ancient knowledge. With only a [[Berserker, Kell's Scourge|handful]] of Eliksni fully equipped with Black Armory-enhanced tech, the rank-and-file members are mostly [[House of Dusk]] deserters and Prison of Elders convicts who have rallied to their cause. The Syndicate, as observed by their servitors and likely a product of Siviks' cowardice and haste, exhibits patchwork designs with their servitors which is odd considering the Scourge's technological prowess - especially in that of Insurrection Prime.
The Kell's Scourge is similar to that of the [[House of Spider]], with both groups being criminal syndicates that are working for their own interests. However, the Scourge are considerably more advanced with their technology than the average house of Fallen as they developed a new type of [[Brig|war machine]] with their repurposed [[Black Armory]] tech. With only a [[Berserker, Kell's Scourge|handful]] of Fallen fully equipped with Black Armory-enhanced tech, the rank-and-file members are mostly [[House of Dusk]] deserters whom had rallied to their cause. The Syndicate, as observed by their servitors and likely a product of Siviks' cowardice and haste, exhibits patchwork designs with their servitors which is odd considering the Scourge's technological prowess - especially in that of Insurrection Prime.


One can easily draw comparisons to the [[Devil Splicers]]' ambition to harness [[Golden Age]] technology for their own nefarious purposes.
They are also similar to the [[Devil Splicers]], with both groups having harnessed [[Golden Age]] technology for their own nefarious purposes.
