| ==Biography==
| | '''Kaniks, the Mad Bomber''' is a [[Baron]] of the [[Scorn]]. Responsible for a vast minefield throughout [[the Reef]] which regularly claims [[Awoken]] lives, Kaniks is a crazed lunatic who lives only to chase the adrenaline high of yet another fiery explosion. He was captured alongside his fellow barons and locked deep within the [[Prison of Elders]]. A year after the events of the [[Red War]], Kaniks was freed by [[Uldren Sov]], and was later present at the murder of [[Cayde-6]] at Sov's hand.<ref name="GIBarons"/> |
| The exact origins of Kaniks madness is unknown, however the horrors he witnessed within the Fallen House system may have driven his mind to crack. While others speculate that it was his harsh life within the [[Tangled Shore]] that drove him to insanity. Or he was always just mad and revelled in spreading destruction and chaos as he scattered vast minefields throughout [[the Reef]].
| |
| | |
| His madness cost the lives of many [[Awoken]] as he bombed various institutions such as the Origin Libraries to fuel his adrenaline high. His tyranny would end when he was captured alongside his fellow Barons and imprisoned deep within the [[Prison of Elders]].
| |
| | |
| Following the [[Red War]], Kaniks was freed by [[Uldren Sov]] and witnessed the murder of [[Cayde-6]] at his hand.<ref name="GIBarons"/> Later the Mad Bomber would meet his end at the hands of the Guardians who sought vengeance. His death is hard to rejoice as the suffering and tragedies caused by his terrorisms far outweigh his death.<ref>[https://www.ishtar-collective.net/entries/a-gift-of-madness?highlight=gift+of+madness Gift of Madness]</ref>

| | |
| Kaniks is arguably the least sane of the Scorn Barons. He behaves in a very childish manner, treating the Guardian's pursuit of him as a game, mocking the Guardian and Cayde-6 in an immature fashion, and generally speaking in a simplified manner. To further cement his childlike demeanor, his laughter is considerably more goofy and light-hearted than the insane cackling of Araskes or the boastful gloating of Pirrha. In spite of his mindset, he is shown to not be completely incapable of reason or logical thought, as he seems to share Fikrul's beliefs regarding Guardian's relationship with the Eliksni, and has demonstrated that he regards the Guardian as a serious enough threat that he would detonate the entire area they're in so as to ensure their death.

| Kaniks' main explosive weapon of choice is the [[Scorn Grenade]], which he throws at [[The Guardian]] to continuously bombard their position, breaking their shields in just a handful of explosions, and not taking much longer to outright kill them afterward. | | Kaniks' main explosive weapon of choice is the [[Scorn Grenade]], which he throws at [[The Guardian]] to continuously bombard their position, breaking their shields in just a handful of explosions, and not taking much longer to outright kill them afterwards. He also moves rapidly and teleports to random locations as well, making him an erratic target. Occasionally, he will disappear from the area and transmat a [[Splinter Mine]], which will immediately kill all [[Guardian]]s in the vicinity if it is not defused. When defusing the mines, lesser Scorn units such as [[Screeb]]s and [[Ravager]]s will assault the player on all sides and must be taken care of. While fighting Kaniks, it is best to keep one's distance and remain mobile, as to avoid the detonations as well as the Ultra Smash at close range. |
