Scorn

The Scorn are a rogue pseudo-House of undead Fallen pirates led by Uldren Sov and Fikrul, the Fanatic. They recently orchestrated a massive breakout from the Prison of Elders and murdered Cayde-6 in the process. While they were originally Fallen, they have been changed into something else by repeated deaths and resurrections.

Overview

The Scorn are a horde of infected Fallen that are the most drastically warped House of Fallen ever seen in the Solar System. They look and act completely different from their other brethren due to their nature. Many of the Scorn demonstrate melee-focused abilities, and all are Fallen mutants as a result of their mysterious conversion, with one unit in particular nearly being the size of a Hive Ogre.

Appearance

The Scorn can be distinguished by their dark gunmetal colored, chain-adorned armor, and drastic physical differences from other Fallen. Many of them are unnaturally large in stature, wielding an array of weapons stolen from other factions,often seeming to favor the use of fire-based weaponry.

Structure

The Scorn are not affiliated with any House. They are led overall by Uldren Sov and help pursue his goals. Beneath Uldren are eight unique Barons, led by Fikrul, the Fanatic, each with their own skills and specialties. Some Scorn pirates make use of non-Fallen technologies, and many of them have docked lower arms as a remnant of their previous status as Dregs.

History

Terror of the Reef

Cast out of the House of Exile, many Dregs grouped together and thrived through mutual ruthlessness and ingenuity. Raiding Fallen settlements and stealing Ether, the Barons grew stronger and more bold. Capitalising on the lack of leadership in the post-Taken War Reef, the Scorn terrorised both Fallen and Awoken settlements, degrading the once prosperous civilisation into a lawless frontier.

Some time after the Red War, Hunter Vanguard Cayde-6 gathered a small group of his most trusted Guardians and, with the assistance of acting-Regent-Commander Petra Venj, hunted down the Scorned Barons. At a final standoff, the Barons were defeated and those not killed were thrown deep within the Prison of Elders. Only one Baron, Fikrul, the Fanatic, escaped.

Prison Break

A year after the Red War, the Skorn took advantage of the Reef's disheveled state and broke out en-masse from the Prison of Elders. During the breakout, the Skorn Barons and Uldren Sov killed Cayde-6. After the escape, they fled into the Tangled Shore and Dreaming City, behind the leadership of Prince Uldren and their eight commanding Barons.

After their release, they entered into a civil war with the House of Dusk.
