House of Spider

The Spider's Crime Syndicate is a Fallen criminal enterprise led by The Spider that resides within the Tangled Shore. It is currently working in tandem with the Guardians to fight back against the Scorn within the Reef.

Origins
At some point, the mob lost the majority of their leaders, leaving only the Spider to rule over the mob in their wake. They controlled the Tangled Shore up until the Scorn began to invade it. At some point, the Spider made a deal with Queen Mara Sov to protect the Dreaming City in return for her overlooking his activities in the Shore.

Rise of the Scorn
Forced into hiding by the Scorn after their escape from the Prison of Elders and left with little options, The Spider and his mob were forced to work alongside the Guardians to clear out the Scorn and their Barons from the Reef,

Structure
The Spider's syndicate appears to be loosely organized. He rejects any notion of being a Kell and is an astonishingly generous employer by Fallen standards. The loyalty of his permanent "employees" is ensured by his daily payments of ether: one kilogram for one day's work, including days spent recovering from injury. The custom of freelance scavengers and spies is ensured by the high prices he pays for their goods. In his eyes, employees and freelancers both are simply making a deal with him: as long as they uphold their side of it, he'll uphold his.

The syndicate includes many Servitors. How their loyalty is maintained is not mentioned.

The Spider also covertly employs a number of non-Fallen agents, which he appears to treat much more ruthlessly. He tolerates the presence of Cabal deserters and had at least one contact in Dead Orbit routing him supplies from City shipping manifests, who he later had killed for asking too many questions.
