- "No, no, they’re supposed to be dead! Why are they here! You don’t understand, they’re different. They don’t have ethics and they won’t just kill, they’ll torture and enslave. We need to stop them, Guardian"
- — Mithrax
The House of Fear are a House of Fallen Splicers and slavers. They are mainly known for their unorthodox experiments and unique views on The Traveler and The Darkness. They were a late player in the War for Sol as they were pillaging other systems. They first take up lair in Riis-Reborn, stealing it from Salvation fallen and repurposing it. The House of Fear made the remaining House Salvation on Europa their slave vassal and often mistreated them. They are also infamous for their large amount of Splicers, cruelty, war crimes, and willingness to enslave other species including their own. The House of Fear also uses a unique SIVA blade to eliminate Guardans permanently, however these are only given to high ranking lieutenants.
HistoryEdit
Early HistoryEdit
War against the VexEdit
Taking Control of EuropaEdit
Their skiffs arrived at the Gale's Watch exterior landing pad, the area where Eramis used to be frozen. Then a team of Fallen were dispelled from the Skiff and secured Gale's Watch, taking the House Salvation members prisoner and saying they'd explain later. The team continued on, striking a deal with a Captain who used comms to tell his men to stand down. The Salvation members shut off the cannons protecting the air space of Riis Reborn and the Fear Skiffs entered the base. The team arrived in Kell's Rising and eliminated all of the Vex units using a Splicer in the team. Securing Ether Caches and sending them away on Skiffs. As the team and skiffs arrived in Technocrat's Iron they quickly secured the military factory and loaded in more of their troops. Finally a small recon squad secured Riis-Reborn Approach. Calling in all of the Salvation Fallen to the large meeting room of Riis-Reborn, the House of Fear gave them an announcement. They enslaved House Salvation, subjecting them as their workers and test subjects. As well as that they would force some to fight, killing all deserters. But there was a chance for Salvation here, those that proved themselves had a chance at becoming part of House Fear itself. The next months were devoted to the settling of Fear troops and the work of Salvation Fallen. When House Salvation tried to rebel, House Fear would quickly put it down, even hosting public executions. Salvation eventually lost hope, giving in to Fear's strict punishments. Evix, the Investigator served as a strict warden and leader of the house while Koliks seemed to command them. When a guardian patrol, however, encountered these new Fallen, a war that would be remembered in both Fallen and Human history would begin.
First Guardian EncounterEdit
Pretty much having no idea what the Guardians were, the House of Fear initially underestimated them. That lead to a devastating first battle. The Guardian Patrol managed to eliminate a whole entire unit of House of Fear troops before they understood what they were dealing with. Then they sent their Light-Nullifying Splicers in. These Splicers could crush Ghosts just like Guardians did to Hive. Many guardians died and the rest of the patrol gathered their dead and ran. When The Guardian was deployed to investigate the patrol's findings, Mithrax, Kell of Light originally believed House Salvation was under their control like the House of Wolves, willingly. But when House Salvation Dregs tried to run to the Guardian with their hands raised, unarmed, and were shot down by House of Fear snipers, the horrifying truth was brought to light. The Guardian quickly passed through Riis-Reborn, noticing changes. They arrived in an unseen before area, a Fallen neighborhood deeper in Riis Reborn. However there was lots of watchtowers for the House of Fear to watch over the Salvation and the Guardian even witnessed from afar a Vandal beat a Dreg down. The Guardian finally arrived in the command center of Gale's Watch to a horrifying sight. Fallen Vandals and Dregs attached to glowing tubes in these strange pods. The Guardian watched through the glass door as a Dreg was shoved into one of the pods and attached to the tubes. Then a captain was about to be shoved in but freed itself and killed its captors. It opened the door to the Guardian, letting them in and getting them. He announces himself as Arriks. You and Arriks fight together against a wave of House Fear troops and enslaved House Salvation. But then a new Splicer arrives. Mithrax notes he has never seen this kind of power before and The Guardian fights them. After a difficult and laborious fight, the Guardian eliminates the Splicer.
Attack on The ReefEdit
A House of Fear contingent led by Orathiks, the Archangel arrived in The Dreaming City’s orbit with a Ketch. They deployed a few skiffs and a team secured one of the buildings in the city as well as the place where Riven was killed. When The Guardian discovered their operations, a four week campaign was set out involving stopping Fallen Glimmer Ops, freeing Salvation slaves, destroying Skiffs, and killing lieutenants. When Orathiks and his men finally arrived at Riven’s Corpse to try and loot it, The Guardian was immediately dispatched. Eliminating the defense force that had holed in the tower, they destroyed the four skiffs launching back up to the force inside the tower and then continued on. Now trapped, Orathiks sent in his only remaining lieutenant to the front line. Though the lieutenant had enough time to set up traps and turrets, they were still defeated by the Guardian. Finally, the Guardian confronted Orathiks, now a second time. Eliminating the Baron, they managed to secure the area from the Fallen.
Death of the RecruiterEdit
Learning of the massive defeat, a furious Mirks immediately returned from one of his crusades and arrived at Riis-Reborn in fury with all of his lieutenants. He began to kill random Salvation Fallen in fury and then called an emergency meeting. During the meeting, he taunted all of the House for failing to secure a corpse. As he advised his people, The Guardian learned of Mirk's arrival from an informant in the house. The Guardian arrived at Riis-Reborn and eliminated the outer turrets and breached Technocrats Iron, meeting Mirks’ first lieutenant, The Ironmonger. The Ironmonger fires a few shots at the Guardian before crawling into a Brig and beginning the real fight. After a long and brutal battle the ironmonger is defeated. The next target hides in TBA and is called the Undertaker. They will avoid you by constantly teleporting and staying away as they fire their extremely powerful sniper rifle. The sniper rifle can one shot but takes a while to charge up which is when the Guardian can get close. When The Undertaker was defeated, there was one final lieutenant and Mirks himself left. When The Guardian arrived in the meeting room, they saw that the lieutenant and Mirks were still briefing the troops. Mirks pointed at the Guardian and a bunch of Wretches ran through the front door. The rest of the troops prepared for battle and Mirks left for the meeting room. The final lieutenant is Teviks the Altered, a SIVA changed Captain. They will charge the Guardian while using the large amount of Fallen to occupy the Guardian. After a grueling fight and Teviks is defeated, the Guardian found Mirks in Gale’s Watch. An intense and heated battle ensued, with Mirks summoning orbital bombardment, SIVA powers, Stasis, and even moving onto his Ketch. At the Ketch command room, Mirks lost the battle to the Guardian and was defeated.
Rebirth of OrathiksEdit
Orathiks’ corpse was recovered by a small team of Splicers lead by Joriks who managed to get in undetected. From there, they took Orathiks to a nearby safehouse in the Dreaming City and put him within cyro. As the Splicers awaited the extraction skiff, they held off a few waves of Taken. To be continued.
StructureEdit
The House of Fear is lead by their two Archons, a commander, and two Barons. The two lead Archons don’t actually interact much with the house other than the Splicers and stay locked in their vault on the Ketch. However, the archon Koliks actually leads the house. The commander pretty much leads the battles and serves as a direct subordinates to the Archons. The Barons on the other hand interact with the house a bit more. Mirks actually does stuff like recruiting new members but he is often away from most of the House due to his crusades to become a liaison with other houses or even species. Also he just kind of does his own thing but he’ll visit the house every now and then when they need someone to command it. They pretty much lead the house despite them rarely being present. Orathiks is really just a mercenary and leads a hit squad but other than that doesn’t actually lead the House. Below them are a group of Splicers who pretty much command the house because the high ranking guys don’t. Below that they have standard Fallen command system and have enslaved Salvation troops as soldiers. They will shoot deserting troops. The house has 3 ketches.
