- "So why don’t I call it the ‘House of Monsoon’? Well, it’d have to be a real House for that."
- — Iriksi, Monsoon Baroness
The Iriksi Syndicate is a renegade Fallen organization led by the Baroness, Iriksi, stationed on Phobos. Nowadays it works closely with the Last City to help fight against its enemies. The syndicate is unique in that it has Red Legion deserters, rogue Scorn and even some Guardians in its ranks in addition to Fallen who have left their Houses.
History
Origins
Iriksi, who was then a Baroness of the House of Kings, and even before that of the House of Rain, left her house after the Fallen’s repeated failures at the hands of Humanity, having lost all hope of trying to reclaim the Great Machine. But instead of letting her people continue to suffer and be pushed to the brink of extinction, she decided to build a safehouse, for Eliksni like her who grew tired of fighting hopeless battles, to seek shelter from their enemies and to live without fear of their Kells or being docked and reduced to a Dreg. This safe haven was established in the ruins of Australia. Initially, the syndicate had very few members, but as time passed by and things grew more and more desperate for the Fallen, it would begin to grow, and soon enough there would be dozens living under Iriksi’s protection.
The Vanguard eventually started to become aware of the syndicate’s existence, and out of fear of being killed by Guardians, it seemed to have all but disappeared.
However, it did not disappear, but instead relocated to Phobos to avoid further detection, and it continues to remain there to this day.

- "People and groups like Oberon, Gabriel Miller, PoH, Laughing Coffin, Titan's Hand, and Maleficent may have been abusive and cruel, but at least they did it for a reason. I'm not saying that we should forgive them, but they were only trying to keep the balance.
That I understand, but I fear those reasons may have been for nothing.
How so?
Every streaks of good fortune Kirito and Asuna have... they're all because of what the Darkness did to our world.
We still mourn in grief because of what happened to Zavala.
I feel grief, but not just because Zavala died, but also because the Darkness gave Kirito and Asuna everything they've always wanted. While every people of our worlds have been suffering, Kirito and Asuna have profited from all the terrible things that were inflicted upon society. The Kirito and Asuna we all knew died years ago, but at least they had good hearts when they died.
What are you suggesting, Iriksi?
We must end their legacy exactly as it has been foretold... the way it should've ended. Gather the people of the Last City. It's time they got the help they need." - — Aztaal, Ether Priest and Iriksi, Monsoon Baroness
Some time after the events of the Season of Fire, Kirito and Asuna rose to power, with their army of Shadowkeepers and the Pyramids leading an assault that killed people such as Maleficent, Benjamin Florian, Zavala, and Emperor Calus and led to an era created by the Darkness. Enraged by those malicious acts of terror enacted by Kirito and Asuna, the Iriksi Syndicate formed an alliance with the House of Lions and remnants of the factions that were attacked by the Shadowkeepers.

Take him down, Guardian. For all of us." - — Iriksi, to the The Guardian
