The Skorn are a rogue pseudo-House of undead Fallen pirates led by Uldren Sov. 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.[1][2]
Overview
The Skorn are a horde of undead 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 undead nature. Many of the Skorn demonstrate melee-focused abilities, and they all are Fallen mutants as a result of their mysterious undead nature, with one unit in particular nearly being the size of a Hive Ogre.[1][2]
Appearance
The Skorn 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, and they seem to favor the use of fire-based weaponry.[1]
Structure
The Skorn are not affiliated with any House. They are led overall by Uldren Sov and help pursue his goals. Beneath Uldren are eight unique Barons, each with their own skills and specialties. Some Skorn pirates make use of non-Fallen technologies, and many of them have docked lower arms. They are not quite a Fallen House in the traditional sense since they are essentially a horde of Fallen zombies, reanimated for mysterious reasons.[2]
History
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. [1]
After their release, they entered into a civil war with the House of Dusk.
