=== The Violet Vandal===
While it is never explained why Randal the Vandal was seen in the Server Farm, one meme commentary stated that Randal was guarding the way for [[Aksis, Archon Prime]] as he was tired of his brethren being so weak and wanted Aksis and other Fallen to reach the godly status of Randal, who was already perfect, through the technological enhancement of SIVA.
 
===The Violet Vandal===
Prior to the release of ''[[Destiny 2]]'', the Old Houses including the House of Devils, abandoned their old loyalties and formed a new House for the sake of survival. As the [[Red Legion]] invaded the [[Last City]] and began the [[Red War]], the newly formed [[House of Dusk]] also emerged from the shadows and quickly spread themselves across the [[Solar System]].

===The Nightmare Vandal===
===The Nightmare Vandal===
The ''[[Shadowkeep]]'' expansion saw a narrative where a [[Pyramid (Luna)|Pyramid]] on the [[Moon]] created apparitions of past figures and enemies to exploit the trauma of [[Guardians]] as psychological warfare. These figures appeared as [[Nightmares]] and notable examples include [[Nightmare of Skolas, Kell of Kells|Skolas]] and [[Nightmare of Taniks, the Scarred|Taniks]], but the Pyramid also exploited the Guardians greatest nightmare.
A cave in [[Sorrow's Harbor]] would occasionally manifest a rare nightmare named [[Nightmare Reaver Vandal]]. Randal the Vandal, the Fallen boogeyman had returned in nightmare form.
