Biography
Rise of the Scourge
Dredgen Scourge was risen as a guardian in the Eastern Flood Zone near a Hive Seeder Ship. Raised by her Ghost Faith, Scourge attempted to awaken one of the pods to flee the planet. During her time in the Rusted Lands, Scourge used hive runes for marking locations and communication. Scourge would be found by a wandering guardian, a Shadow of Dredgen Yor by the name of Dredgen Arch. Dredgen Arch demanded that she be his apprentice, to which she reluctantly agreed at her ghost’s disdain.
Scourge would be gifted a vintage rifle to defend herself against the dangers of the new world. Her first task as Arch’s apprentice would be to retrieve a Cleaver and a Worm for experimentation. In her search, Dredgen Scourge would find a large group of hive from the Spawn of Crota deep underground inside an abandoned possibly-Golden Age bunker. The group were led by a powerful Wizard by the name of Nok’thur, Queen of Worms, seeking to turn the bunker into a feeding grounds to grow more spawn in preparation for the God-Knight’s assault. Scourge shot at the queen with her rifle, alerting the group of her presence. The queen chanted and called upon the hive's estranged God Xol, using his power to fight the Dredgen. Scourge’s rifle had been destroyed by a blast of corrupted light as a large Knight quickly advanced towards her. Scourge’s arm surged with energy as she release a massive Nova Bomb at the knight, killing it and dropping its cleaver to the ground. The remaining seekers greatly damaged Nok’thur, leaving her defenseless against any remaining fighters. Scourge took the cleaver upon herself and killed the queen, taking her worm and escaping the bunker, subsequently mantling the title of the Queen of Worms.
On the way back to Arch’s settlement, Faith asked Scourge if she felt any different after killing the queen. Scourge replied that she didn’t, but maybe a feeling would hit her soon. When they returned to Arch, Scourge presented the worm and the blade to him, bringing the Dredgen great pleasure. Over the course of the next few months, Scourge trained under Arch to better understand her abilities. But even through the training, she felt as if there was still more to be done. Consulting Arch about her issue, she told of how she dreamed of being a great ruler with grand power. Arch mentioned how the training was supposed to shape her into that “great ruler”. Scourge, fueled by determination, took the cleaver that she brought to Arch and prepared to leave on her own. She told Arch that she would return once she had become as powerful as him, leaving their secluded haven in search for power.
