The Spider | The Spider was born into the notorious [[House of Wolves]], but as he aged, he steadily came to see the House of Wolves as a "bad investment".<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [https://brainplagued.tumblr.com/post/189959229680/i-dont-often-hear-this-line-from-him The Spider dialogue]''</ref> Leaving the House of Wolves, the Spider eventually arrived at the entrance of the lawless [[Tangled Shore]] and established himself as a the head of a major [[Spider's Crime Syndicate|syndicate]]. He amassed a sizeable and loyal following of Eliksni bodyguards, enforcers, associates, and freelance operatives thanks to his generous [[Ether]] payment. Including continued payments if one of his employees was injured while on the job.<ref name="ED">'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Ether Doctor]]''</ref> The Spider's rule was aided by procuring a [[Transmat]] system that covered his entire territory from the [[Hunter]] [[Olu Alderdice]].<ref name= "Trackless Waste">'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Trackless Waste]]''</ref> During the exchange, the sly [[Guardian]] offered the Spider arsenic lipstick as well, but he noted that it looked far better on her. When she offered her hand to shake on their deal, the Spider began reaching out but quickly stopped himself and scrutinized her before withdrawing his hand, a decision which she applauded as wise.<ref name= "Trackless Waste"></ref> | ||
The Spider's reign was not without difficulties | The Spider's reign was not without difficulties however, as his brother and associate [[Siviks, Lost to None|Siviks]] became outraged at how the Spider conducted himself and his fascination with human artifacts. When Siviks moved against him, the Spider had his brother captured and brought before him, offended that his hospitality and brotherly ties had been betrayed. He offered a chance to his brother to apologize, but Siviks merely spit in his face and laughed. The Spider ordered him to be handed over to the [[Awoken]] and sentenced to the [[Prison of Elders]]. As his brother was dragged away he accused the Spider of being worse than the rest of the Fallen due to his ties to humanity, but the Spider merely taunted him. However, once his associates had left, the Spider stared regretfully at where his brother had once stood before sighing and returning to business.<ref name="Anarchy">'''Bungie (2018/12/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Black Armory]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Anarchy]]''</ref> | ||
Prior to the outbreak of the [[Taken War]], Queen Mara Sov evacuated the [[Dreaming City]] and made a deal with the Spider to protect the Watchtower and in return, she would turn a blind eye to his businesses.

This campaign developed into a hunt against the [[Scorn]], a powerful faction of Fallen outlaws who terrorised the Shore. Cayde with his team entered the [[Spider's Palace]] in search for [[Araskes, the Trickster]], however blew his cover after starting a fight with the Trickster over gambling.

The emergence of the [[Scorn]] saw the Spider's Syndicate become embroiled in conflict with them and driven away from their original territory. The Spider went into hiding within his [[Spider's Safehouse|safehouse]] and cloaked the entrance behind a holographic rockface. He was contacted by Petra, who wanted to join forces with him and [[The Guardian|the Young Wolf]] to hunt down and kill [[Uldren Sov]] after the Awoken Prince had gone rogue and became the leader of the Scorn. Spider was unwilling to open his safehouse until the local Scorn outside were dealt with. He dispatched [[Avrok, Spider's Associate|Avrok]] and [[Arrha, Spider's Associate|Arrha]] to help the Young Wolf deal with the Scorn, and upon their defeat opened his throne room to Petra and the Guardian. As they entered he mocked Petra's failure to hold the Scorned Barons and accused her of causing him to lose his grip on the Tangled Shore. He then inquired about the whereabouts of the Young Wolf's Ghost, but Petra kept the conversation focused on the Scorn and proposed an alliance. Spider was reluctant to help, noting that he was sure to wind up short on such a deal, and demanded that the Young Wolf would owe him for the help he provided.

===Wrathborn Hunt=== | ===Wrathborn Hunt=== | ||
Following the | Following the Darkness's return to the Sol System, the Tangled Shore comes under assault from the forces of [[Xivu Arath]], the Hive God of War, forcing the Spider and his syndicate to be on the defensive once more. Worse, Xivu Arath's forces make use of artifacts called [[Cryptolith]]s that drive Hive into a berserk state and corrupt other species to her service, called the [[Wrathborn]], some of which include members of the Spider's organization. The Spider soon meets with the Guardian once more after their mission on Luna ended bittersweetly; they managed to save the Warlock [[Osiris]] but his Ghost [[Sagira]] sacrificed herself to save her Guardian. To avenge Sagira and combat Xivu Arath, the Spider proposes a partnership with the Guardian to restore his territory and reopen the flow of Glimmer; they would hunt the Wrathborn and their leader, the [[High Celebrant of Xivu Arath]], and the Spider would provide the resources needed for such a hunt. | ||

Regardless of the Guardian's personal ill-feelings towards the Crow, the Spider has then work with him to combat the Wrathborn and Xivu Arath, but makes them to never mention the name Uldren Sov. | ||
After a long period and working together with Crow, the Guardians were able to stem the tide of the Wrathborn Corruption, culminating with the hunt and execution of the High Celebrant of Xivu Arath, avenging Sagira and fulfilling their end of the Spider's bargain. However, during that time, the Guardian had grown increasingly dissatisfied with Crow being in the Spider's services. Returning to the Spider's hideout, the Spider congratulated the Guardian's efforts and as per their bargain, allowed the Guardian to claim anything in his collection. The Guardian chose Crow's freedom, a choice that angered the Spider but having used his own words against him, the Spider agreed but warned the Guardian to leave before he takes offense. | After a long period and working together with Crow, the Guardians were able to stem the tide of the Wrathborn Corruption, culminating with the hunt and execution of the High Celebrant of Xivu Arath, avenging Sagira and fulfilling their end of the Spider's bargain.

Mara Sov expected the Spider to lend a form of aid to their efforts but to her disappointment, the crime boss did not offer anything. Fearing for his operations since he knows the Awoken Queen wouldn't approve of his past usage of Crow and knowing he can't rely on Mithrax and the House of Light, the Spider turned to his associate The Drifter for aid. The Drifter at first thought he wanted his "seal of approval" to move his operations but instead the Spider wants him to smuggle him out of the Reef. | ||

Despite this, the Spider is willing to alter a deal to make sure that those who owe him a debt don't pay back too quickly and too easily, as he does not want to get the short end of the stick. This was apparent when the Guardians cleared out the Hive infestation within the Tangled Shore. After slaying the Brood Queen, The Spider found that the threat was too "easy" for it to satisfy their debt to him. Despite Ghost's objections, the Spider points out that the mission wasn't a deal, only "considerations". Likely he finds the Guardians too useful and skilled to simply say that all debts are paid.<ref name="Broodhold"/> | |||
Though the Spider can be very ruthless on how he runs his criminal enterprise, the mob boss has shown a capacity for generosity and a reasonable nature. Instead of just hoarding all the profits and leave next to nothing for his employees, he ensure his workforce is paid what they earned, far more generous than a contemporary Fallen Kell, Archon or Baron.<ref name="ED"/> | |||

Spider | The Spider is highly fluent in English. His voice lacks much of the growls and clicks associated with Eliksni speech; this may be due to either practice or some form of translation device (although he claims that [[Variks]] speaks perfect English as well, deliberately using poor grammar to seem more harmless to the Awoken). Reflecting his fascination with humanity, he frequently uses human figures of speech and body language, even when speaking to other Eliksni (to whom such gestures are meaningless).<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Scatterhorn_Armor#Scatterhorn_Mask_/_Helm_/_Hood|Scatterhorn Mask / Helm / Hood]]''</ref><ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Death to Kells]]''</ref> | ||
