'''Siviks, Lost to None''' is the estranged brother of the [[The Spider|Spider]] and leader of the [[Kell's Scourge]], a violent gang of anti-establishment [[Fallen]]. He sought to plunder the forges and vault of the [[Black Armory]], which caused him to become a target of [[Ada-1]], his brother and their mutual [[Guardian]] allies.

===The Long Drift===
Siviks fell out with his brother over the latter's cordial relationship with humanity and was imprisoned in the [[Prison of Elders]]. Finding opportunity to escape during the [[Scorn]]'s massive breakout, Siviks and his crew uncovered the [[Gofannon Forge]] from the [[Exodus Black]] on [[Nessus]], which upgraded their Fallen weaponry with [[Black Armory]] tech. Siviks led his newly formed syndicate to smuggle their Black Armory contraband to Fallen across the system, including the [[EDZ]] and the [[Tangled Shore]]. When the [[Guardians]] retaliated on behalf of the Spider and [[Ada-1]] against the Scourge, Siviks himself went to hiding.

Upon discovery of the [[Niobe Labs]], Siviks and several members of his syndicate led an assault on the lab to claim the Bergusia Forge hidden within, gaining control over the security protocols which defended the lab. [[The Guardian]] uncovers his operation and finally confronted the mad Fallen, forcing Siviks to retreat after sustaining heavy injuries. After The Guardian unlocks the Mysterious Box and creates the Unidentified Radiant Frame from the blueprints within, Siviks returns to the Bergusia Forge in an attempt to steal the results of the forging process.

After the [[Whirlwind]] many Eliksni traversed the void of space, looking for their Great Machine. During this period, known as the "Long Drift", [[The Spider|Rakis]] and Siviks were forced upon [[Misraaks]]'s mother, [[Inaaks]], as hatchlings by an invading [[Eramis]], in spite of their lack of resources. The two would become reluctant childhood friends of Misraaks and, because they were older, would protect him from other Eliksni adolescents looking to steal Misraaks' Ether.


==Personality and Traits==
Eventually, Siviks became a member of, the now fully grown, Misraaks' crew of pirates. Sometime after the [[Collapse]], Misraaks and his crew discovered a [[Colony ship]] filled with human survivors behind one of Mars' moons. The raiding party, led by Misraaks, Rakis, and Siviks, would slaughter many of the weak and malnourished humans. Finally they relented, throwing down their arms and begging to be spared. Instead Misraaks locked the remaining survivors in an airlock and attempted to jettison them into space. Rakis intervened and suggested that they be made to serve their House instead, with the amused Siviks agreeing. Attempting to release the survivors, Rakis was stopped by Misraaks. Trying once again, Rakis reached for the airlock controls. Taking this as a gesture of disrespect toward his leadership, Misraaks immediately opened the airlock, killing all the surviving humans. Rakis and Siviks now angered, fought back against the decision. In response, Misraaks killed half the Dregs loyal to the brothers, before clashing with them himself. The battle ended in Misraaks' victory, and the brothers, along with their remaining crew, were marooned on an asteroid.<ref name="Above All Else: IV - Promise"/>

Siviks appears to be cowardly as he continuously runs away from [[The Guardian]] for safety instead of protecting his other acquaintances. Unlike [[The Spider]], who knows what choices he should take to achieve his goal and interest, Siviks selfishly takes without allying with other factions.
===Scourge of the Forges===
{{Quote|You… as bad as all [[Fallen]]! Worse, even! A friend even to humans… All must die!|Siviks, Lost to None}}<ref name="Anarchy">'''Bungie (2018/12/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Forge]] - Weapon lore: [[Anarchy]]''</ref> 


Despite his supposed cowardice, Siviks is dangerously ambitious, cunning and desiring of power over all the Fallen and the destruction of the other factions in the Solar System, regardless of the cost to the Fallen's culture and way of life. He recognized the power and potential of the weapons and technology belonging to the secret order, The Black Armory, and sought to use them to assume power over the Fallen, even creating a servitor with destructive potential rivaling [[Aksis, Archon Prime|Aksis]] himself. In addition, Siviks has proven to be rather persistent, as despite losing each of the Forges and the destruction of his prized war machine, Insurrection Prime, Siviks never gave up on his war until he claimed all the technology and secrets of the Black Armory.
When his brother's criminal syndicate begin to expand to do business with the likes of [[human]]s, Siviks was immediately opposed to his decision. He would move against him, only to be caught and brought before his brother, having felt offended that his hospitality and brotherly ties had been betrayed. Despite being offered a chance to apologize, Siviks merely spat 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.<ref name="Anarchy"/>


It is possible that Siviks also possess a level of charisma as he was able to rally a great number of Fallen to his side after the Scorn's failure and the continued losses the House of Dusk faced. However, this doesn't mean he values their loyalty, as he left his followers to face the Guardians constantly while fleeing to safety. Only at the Niobe Labs did Siviks face the Guardians face-to-face but aided extensively by his Kell's Scourge and stolen Black Armory technology.

Siviks first makes contact with the player during the quest mission [[Origin: Nessus]], where The Guardian pinpoints the Kell's Scourge base of operations. However, upon sight, he retreats and instead sends in [[Telksis the Pillager, Kell's Scourge]] to deal with the intrusion and defend the Black Armory caches. After defeating Telksis, the player investigates the Black Armory caches and continues the hunt for Siviks.

After defeating Telksis, The Guardian investigates the Black Armory caches and continues the hunt for Siviks.


The player next encounters Siviks is in Niobe Labs, where he must be stopped from opening the Bergusia Forge. He first fights the player during the first level, where he will open fire with his [[Molten Welder]], which fires explosive [[Solar]] shrapnel that deals serious damage to Guardian shields from long range in an area of effect, and will occasionally throw a [[Swarm Grenade]] that functions identically to those used by [[Gunslinger]]s. He will be protected by shield drones, which must be shot at to be able to damage him. After sustaining severe damage, Siviks will retreat to the control room and activate the lab's security functions. The player then has to solve a puzzle or be wiped by the [[Fires of Avarice]]. After the puzzle is solved, then the next level begins. Siviks will send in more dangerous enemies in bigger numbers, alter the playing space with Ether barriers, and use Splinter Mines to destroy the player. He comes back to the fight during the combat section of the final level using the same tactics as before, but will retreat again after the waves have been cleared.
Next encountered in Niobe Labs, Siviks must be stopped from opening the Bergusia Forge. Fighting The Guardian during the first encounter, he opened fire with his [[Molten Welder]], which fires explosive [[Solar]] shrapnel that deals extensive damage to Guardian shields in an area of effect from long range. Siviks also occasionally throws a [[Swarm Grenade]] that functions near-identically to those used by [[Solar]] subclasses, the exception being that the drones only spread out in a pattern and explode, never seeking out enemies. Protected by shield drones, The Guardian needed to destroy them to be able to damage Siviks. After sustaining severe damage, Siviks retreated to the control room and activated the lab's security functions. The Guardian then had to solve a puzzle or be destroyed by the [[Fires of Avarice]]. After the puzzle was solved, the next encounter began. Siviks sent in more dangerous fallen enemies in larger numbers, altered the battlefield with Energy Barriers and used Splinter Mines to defeat The Guardian. Eventually he returned to the fight during the combat section of the final encounter, using the same tactics as before and retreating once more after the waves of enemies have been cleared.


Siviks fights the Guardian once more during their final engagement in the Bergusia Forge, as the last part of the [[Lock and Key]] quest. He will once again use his Molten Welder to attack, and his shield drones will keep him protected throughout the entire battle. However, one thing to note is that when his health reaches 66%, he will switch his weapon to a [[Wire Rifle]], allowing him to hammer the player with long-range precision fire, due to the hard-hitting, fast-traveling [[Arc]] bolt discharged from the weapon. After the player reduces his health to 33%, Siviks will switch to a [[Shrapnel Launcher]], which lacks long range stopping power, but can be dangerous to fight against up close due to multiple [[Solar]] shrapnel shots hitting the target at once. He will use the Shrapnel Launcher for the rest of the battle. It is recommended for the player to stay in the back and face Siviks from a distance, as this fight becomes much more dangerous when taking place out in the open unless using powerful close-range attacks. After Siviks is finally defeated, he will drop an artifact that grants the player [[Izanagi's Burden]].

Yet Siviks was still dangerous at close range due to multiple [[Solar]] shrapnel shots being able to hit a target at once. A recommended strategy for this fight was to stay far back and face Siviks from a distance, as it became much more dangerous when taking place close and in the open. Finally defeating Siviks and killing him, the Guardian obtained an artifact that granted access to [[Izanagi's Burden]].

"Siviks - 'lost to none'. My…impudent brother. And the Black Armory's assailant. It seems even a stint at the Prison of Elders did little to help my brother understand the concept of consequences."
— The Spider

Siviks, Lost to None was the estranged brother of the Spider and leader of Kell's Scourge, a violent gang of anti-establishment Fallen. He sought to plunder the forges and vault of the Black Armory, which caused him to become a target of Ada-1, his brother and their mutual Guardian allies.

Biography[edit]

The Long Drift[edit]

"We could steal back the Great Machine's favor by taking from them their identity."
— Siviks, Lost to None[1]

After the Whirlwind many Eliksni traversed the void of space, looking for their Great Machine. During this period, known as the "Long Drift", Rakis and Siviks were forced upon Misraaks's mother, Inaaks, as hatchlings by an invading Eramis, in spite of their lack of resources. The two would become reluctant childhood friends of Misraaks and, because they were older, would protect him from other Eliksni adolescents looking to steal Misraaks' Ether.

The battle ended in Misraaks' victory, and the brothers, along with their remaining crew, were marooned on an asteroid.[1]

Scourge of the Forges[edit]

"You… as bad as all Fallen! Worse, even! A friend even to humans… All must die!"
— Siviks, Lost to None[2]

When his brother's criminal syndicate begin to expand to do business with the likes of humans, Siviks was immediately opposed to his decision. He would move against him, only to be caught and brought before his brother, having felt offended that his hospitality and brotherly ties had been betrayed. Despite being offered a chance to apologize, Siviks merely spat 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.[2]

Becoming estranged from his brother, Siviks spent years confined to the Prison of Elders. Finding the opportunity to escape during Uldren's breakout, Siviks and his crew discovered the Gofannon Forge on Nessus from the Exodus Black. Upgrading their Fallen weaponry with Black Armory tech, Siviks led his newly formed syndicate to smuggle their high-tech contraband to Fallen across the system. Following the trail, the Guardians retaliated on behalf of the Spider and Ada-1 against the Scourge, pushing Siviks into hiding.

Upon discovery of the Niobe Labs, Siviks and his syndicate led an assault on the lab to claim the Bergusia Forge hidden within, eventually gaining control over the security protocols which defended it. The Guardian uncovered his operation and finally confronted the mad Fallen, forcing Siviks to retreat after sustaining heavy injuries.

Wanting the results of the forging process for himself, Siviks returns to the Bergusia Forge in an attempt to steal it. A final confrontation ensues as the Eliksni syndicate leader leverages the forge's defensive capabilities to fight The Guardian. Ultimately he is unsuccessful as The Guardian defeats Siviks, killing him, and obtaining the Hyperion Core for the Izanagi's Burden sniper rifle.

Personality and traits[edit]

Siviks, Lost to None

"Stick to wall, ground, human… then FFFFFRRRRRYYYYY! Hehehehehehe."
— Siviks<[2]

Cowardly to a fault, Siviks continuously fled from the Guardian instead of protecting his other syndicate members. Unlike his brother, Siviks never made connections with other factions in an attempt to achieve his goals.

Despite his cowardice, Siviks was dangerously ambitious, cunning and desired power over all the Fallen and the destruction of the other factions in the Solar System.

    • During Season of Plunder, Siviks can be seen in a flashback to his piracy days, wearing the same distinctive helm. This means its similarity is likely just coincidence.
  • Siviks was the first leader of a Fallen organization that is not a Kell, Archon, or Baron that the Guardians face.
