The '''Kell's Scourge''' is an anarchist [[Fallen]] terrorist syndicate led by [[Siviks, Lost to None]] with hideouts across the [[Solar System]]. 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.

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==
At some point before [[Black Armory (expansion)|the campaign]], Siviks fell out with his [[The Spider|brother]] (The Spider) and  was imprisoned in the [[Prison of Elders]], only to escape and formed the Kell's Scourge as a rival syndicate from his brother's. Siviks and his crew uncovered the [[Black Armory|Gofannon Forge]] on [[Nessus]], which they used to upgrade their weaponry with [[Black Armory]] technology and smuggle among the other malcontent [[Fallen]] that later joined their rebellious cause.  
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"/>
 
 
 
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.  


Forming holdouts all across the system, the Scourge began to plunder for more Black Armory tech and gained the support of deserting [[House of Dusk]] members, whilst making a push into the Spider's [[Tangled Shore|territory]] as his competition. This forces the Spider's hand to reach out to the [[Guardians]] and reveal the secret location of the Black Armory hidden within the [[Last City]]. With the reluctant support of [[Ada-1]], Guardians began engaging with the Scourge at the [[EDZ]] and recovered the [[Black Armory|Volundr Forge]] from the [[Red Legion]] in the process.  
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.' My... impudent brother. And the Black Armory's assailant. It seems even a stint in the Prison of Elders did little to help my brother understand the concept of consequences. A harsher lesson might be in order. And, friend? Don't hold back."]''</ref>


Attempts at tracking Siviks and his Fallen caches across the European Dead Zone lead to a delivery note yielding the Scourge's base of operations on Nessus. There the Guardians disrupted an exchange between Siviks and [[Telksis the Pillager, Kell's Scourge|Telksis, the Pillager]], killing the latter and then securing the Gofannon Forge from [[Zevious-3, Forge Warden|Zevious-3]], the Forge Warden.

Seeking to plunder the Black Armory Vault of its secrets, the Kell's Scourge unleashed its [[Prime Servitor]], [[Insurrection Prime, Kell's Scourge|Insurrection Prime]], to breach the [[Last City]] and allow the anarchist Fallen to occupy a desolate section of it. In retaliation, the [[Vanguard]] issued a six manned [[Scourge of the Past|raid]] into Scourge territory and destroy the war machine at all costs. Insurrection Prime was destroyed, but not before Siviks stole pages from the logs of the Armory's founders; which the Guardian would reclaim from the Scourge.
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 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>


In a final bout to get an edge, Siviks lead an assault upon the restricted [[Niobe Labs]], attaining control over the security protocols which defended the lab and aiming to obtain the Obsidian Accelerator from the Bergusia Forge, thereby attaining blueprints for a mobile forge which would've heavily upgraded Fallen weapon and armory. Their victory was however short-lived as the arrival of [[The Guardian]] brought destruction upon the Scourge, causing Siviks to retreat and release The Black Recluse to protect the final forge, named precisely to mock the Spider, but is thwarted by the Guardians. In a final standoff Siviks, the Spider's mad brother, is put to an end, helping Ada-1 and the City and reclaim the Black Armory's secrets and technology whilst leaving the Kell's Scourge left leaderless and utterly crippled.
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>
 
In a final bid to gain an edge over the Guardians and their competition, Siviks sought the secrets of [[Obsidian Accelerator|Project Niobe]], an initiative to develop and produce enhanced Black Armory prototypes. Following clues to its whereabouts in the stolen pages of Meyrin's journal, Siviks lead the Kell's Scourge to take over the restricted [[Niobe Labs]], attaining control of its security protocols and the Bergusia Forge hidden within. Unfortunately, their victory was short-lived with the arrival of the Guardians. Thwarting their efforts to secure the forge, the Guardians fought their way into the labs and defeated the Scourge-controlled security, causing Siviks to retreat.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/1/8)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Forge]] - [[Niobe's Torment]]''</ref>

A few years after their assault on the Last City and the death of their leader, remnants of the Kell's Scourge would pledge their allegiance to [[Eramis, Kell of Darkness]] and her [[House of Salvation]]. Using their technology, House Salvation were able to mass produce weaker versions of Insurrection Prime named [[Brig]]s.

The Kell's Scourge is similar to that of [[The Spider's Crime Syndicate|the Spider's]], with both groups being Fallen criminal organizations that are working for their own interests. They are also similar to the [[Devil Splicers]], with both groups being bands of nefarious Fallen terrorists who harness [[Golden Age]] technology for their own purposes.

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.
 
One can easily draw comparisons to the [[Devil Splicers]]' ambition to harness [[Golden Age]] technology for their own nefarious purposes.

"You… as bad as all Fallen! Worse, even! A friend even to humans… All must die!"
— Siviks to the Spider[1]

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 technology would be used.

History[edit]

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 mass breakout of the prison and formed the Kell's Scourge as a rival syndicate to his brother's.[2][1]


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.[3] 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 territory as his competition.

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.[4]

Siviks, Lost to None

Attempts at tracking Siviks and his tainted Black Armory caches across the European Dead Zone lead to a delivery note yielding the Scourge's hideout on Nessus. There, the Guardian disrupted an exchange between Siviks and 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.[5][6]

With huge portions of the 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, 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.[7][8]

In a final bid to gain an edge over the Guardians and their competition, Siviks sought the secrets of Project Niobe, an initiative to develop and produce enhanced Black Armory prototypes. Following clues to its whereabouts in the stolen pages of Meyrin's journal, Siviks lead the Kell's Scourge to take over the restricted Niobe Labs, attaining control of its security protocols and the Bergusia Forge hidden within. Unfortunately, their victory was short-lived with the arrival of the Guardians. Thwarting their efforts to secure the forge, the Guardians fought their way into the labs and defeated the Scourge-controlled security, causing Siviks to retreat.[9]

Siviks was ultimately killed in a final standoff against The Guardian. The Niobe Lab's last remaining secrets and technology were reclaimed, leaving the Kell's Scourge leaderless and utterly crippled.[10]

A few years after their assault on the Last City and the death of their leader, remnants of the Kell's Scourge would pledge their allegiance to Eramis, Kell of Darkness and her House of Salvation. Using their technology, House Salvation were able to mass produce weaker versions of Insurrection Prime named Brigs. Larger variants were also constructed known as Commodores, despite their similar scale they still lacked the dangerous Black Armory technology Insurrection Prime wielded.[11]

Structure[edit]

Berserker, special units of the Kell 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 war machine, shields and weaponry with the Black Armory's ancient knowledge.

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.
