Fikrul, the Fanatic: Difference between revisions

Following the [[Taken War]], Fikrul would go on to lead a group of lowly [[Dreg]]s cast out from the [[House of Exile]], who collectively titled themselves the Scorned Barons. Together they unleashed havoc amongst the Reefborn [[Awoken]] and various Fallen Houses in the [[Reef]], ultimately leading to the demise of the [[House of Wolves]] through the destruction of all their Servitors. They would later become captured in a final standoff between [[Cayde-6]], [[Petra Venj]], and their posse of [[Guardian]]s; leaving only Fikrul as their Archon to evade capture.  

At some point following the Taken War, [[Prince Uldren]] formed an alliance with the [[House of Kings]], and in his search for [[Mara Sov]] he discovered a mortally wounded Fikrul. Uldren wished that he could save the dying Fallen; his wish was heard by [[Riven]], the [[Taken]] [[Ahamkara]] residing in the [[Dreaming City]], who Uldren had long ago brought to the Reef as a hatchling. Riven granted Uldren's wish by infusing some of Uldren's [[Darkness]] into Fikrul's [[Ether]], creating [[Dark Ether]] and raising him as the first Scorn. Fikrul thereafter treated Uldren with devotion and reverence, calling him "Father" and believing that Uldren had granted him his new life and powers.

===Nightmare Legacy===

{{Quote|In the depths of the Prison of Elders, the Fanatic found his calling. With his fellow Barons by his side, the Fanatic murdered Cayde-6 on the orders of former Prince of the Reef, Uldren Sov. The Fanatic was able to resurrect the dead. It's only fitting the Pyramid would do the same for him.|[[Eris Morn]], speaking of Fikrul.}}

==Personality and traits==

Like all Scorn, Fikrul displays a degree of insanity, though he is more coherent than many of his Scorn underlings or some of the other Barons. Fikrul appears to see the Scorn as a family, as he refers to Uldren as "Father", calls the other Scorn Barons his siblings, and calls his Scorn underlings his children. This is further supported by his genuine outrage at the other Barons' death at the hand of The Guardian, as well as his willingness to resurrect his inferiors, as well as any deceased Fallen as Scorn (although the latter could easily be more driven by his goals and his need of an army to complete them). He also doesn't believe in killing without purpose (he only kills to "immortalize" an Eliksni or further his sense of righteousness), and as such berates The Guardian for murdering the Scorn Barons just to pursue revenge. It also seems that he genuinely cares for the Eliksni species, as he howls at The Guardian for murdering countless Fallen, who have done nothing but try to survive. Overall, it seems Fikrul is more of an anti-villain; he has sympathetic intentions and is far from truly evil or immoral, but he is still willing to commit dark acts to carry out what he perceives as good or just.
