After the [[Red War]], Uldren's alliance with the Kings leads him to become a traitor to his people. At some point, he learned that the [[Broken Legion]] was a trojan horse set up by the Red Legion. Rather than reach out to Petra, he allows the Red Legion to invade, further destabilizing the Asteroid Belt. With the help of his Fallen allies, he begins a campaign against what's left of his home in order to distract Petra from collaborating with the City. During the raids, he kills his people, steals from them, and brings more destruction to his home, using Mara's sacrifice at Saturn to justify his treachery. At the same time, between the strengthening of the Light brought about by the [[Traveler|Traveler's]] awakening, and the fact that he can no longer hear Mara's voice, he is driven to brink of madness to the point where he consumes [[Ether]] to numb himself. On top of that, some unknown ailment is damaging his eyes, later made apparent to be an infection of the Darkness, most likely as a result of the battle with Oryx. | After the [[Red War]], Uldren's alliance with the Kings leads him to become a traitor to his people.

On an outing, Uldren faintly detects Mara's presence, which leads him to [[Fikrul]], who is barely alive after being ambushed by Guardians. Uldren manages to save the Archon by unconsciously making a wish to [[Riven]], causing Fikrul's Ether to become [[Dark Ether|corrupted]], and Fikrul comes to see him as some sort of father-figure. As time goes on, Uldren finds a kindred spirit in Fikrul, and they bond through their shared dislike for their peoples' fates, and a desire to see them evolve through extinction. He decides to team up with Fikrul and take over the Kings fully. With his the help of the Scorned Barons, Uldren takes over the House of Kings, and has his new right hand dock the former Kell, reducing his rank to Dreg. After this, Uldren leaves the Scorn to their devices and resumes his search for Mara. He decides to try talking Petra over to his side, but after finding her in [[Thieves' Landing]], he sadly sees that Petra has, in his eyes, become irredeemable. In that moment, Mara contacts him again. After the sighting, he tracks down [[Illyn]] and accuses her of trapping Mara in [[The Dreaming City]]. Illyn denies it, having given up on Mara being alive, and accuses Uldren of madness. While he is ranting about his plans for the Awoken's future, he has a break that moves him to surrender to his people for his crimes. Seeing that something was was wrong with him but unable to excuse his crimes, Petra, Cayde-6, and a strike team throw Uldren into one of the lowest part of the Prison of Elders. | On an outing, Uldren faintly detects Mara's presence, which leads him to [[Fikrul]], who is barely alive after being ambushed by Guardians.

A year following the Red War, he and Fikrul took advantage of the Warden [[Variks, the Loyal|Variks]]' wavering loyalty and tricked him into releasing the prison's inmates, causing the Scorn to breakout out en-masse.

With the aid of the Fallen Scorn, Uldren Sov sends what's left of the Reef into disarray and scatters the Awoken. He claims to know that his sister still lives and communicates with him, telling him that she is imprisoned within the Awoken secret structure, the Watchtower. To release her, Uldren required a combination of Light and Darkness to open the gateway for Mara Sov to be free. Already infected with the Darkness, Uldren sought out the Light in the [[European Dead Zone]], and recovered a Shard of the Traveler but narrowly escaped an assassination attempt by Petra Venj. | With the aid of the Fallen Scorn, Uldren Sov sends what's left of the Reef into disarray and scatters the Awoken.

Time was soon running out for Uldren, as each of the Scorn Barons fell to the Guardian one-by-one, leaving only the Fanatic as his last defense as the Guardian closed in. The Fanatic soon fell but at the center of the Watchtower, Uldren opened the gateway with the Darkness within him and the Light Shard but instead of his sister appearing, a grotesque servitor-like Taken creature, the [[Voice of Riven]], took her place, revealing that Mara Sov was never speaking to him but it was instead [[Riven]] using him to free itself. Uldren realized this too late as the Voice of Riven swallowed him whole. | Time was soon running out for Uldren, as each of the Scorn Barons fell to the Guardian one-by-one, leaving only the Fanatic as his last defense as the Guardian closed in.

However, the Guardian soon fought their way to the center and fought with the Voice of Riven and despite the creatures strange powers, the Guardian succeeded in destroying it, releasing Uldren. Defeated, humiliated and defenseless, the Guardian, with the Ace of Spades, approaches Uldren who questions on where his sister is but Petra Venj soon arrives at the scene, equally ready to execute him. Uldren adamantly claims that everything he has done was for Mara but both the Guardian and Petra are not convinced. Ghost however, states that simply executing him isn't right but Petra angrily states that she knows what Cayde-6 would do. Uldren further supports this question on what Cayde would do and asks the Guardian on what they plan to do. After a moment of silence and thought, they aim the weapon at him. Uldren closed his eyes and was promptly executed, avenging Cayde-6 as well as the Awoken that Uldren had forsaken. | However, the Guardian soon fought their way to the center and fought with the Voice of Riven and despite the creatures strange powers, the Guardian succeeded in destroying it, releasing Uldren.
