Kell's Scourge

"You… as bad as all Fallen! Worse, even! A friend even to humans… All must die!"

- Siviks to The Spider

The Kell's Scourge are a gang of anarchist Fallen led by Siviks, Lost to None, the deranged brother of the Spider. They are hellbent on sowing chaos wherever they go and actively sought to use the technology of the Black Armory to gain power and control.

History
Before the events of Forsaken, Siviks previously fell out with his brother over his affable relationship with humanity and was imprisoned in the Prison of Elders, only to escape during its mass breakout and formed the Kell's Scourge as a rival syndicate from his brother's. Siviks and his crew uncovered the Gofannon Forge on Nessus, which they used to upgrade their weaponry with Black Armory technology.

Forming holdouts all across the EDZ, the Scourge began smuggling their tainted Black Armory contraband to House of Dusk deserters whilst making a push into the Spider's territory as his competition. When the Fallen-manufactured Black Armory gear made its way to the Guardians, Ada-1 immediately enlists them in recovering said gear as evidence presented to the Spider. Taken notice of his growing competition in the Tangled Shore, the Fallen mob boss had Guardians scavenge the local Fallen for information regarding Siviks' newly-formed syndicate and tasks them to put his brother down.

Attempts at tracking Siviks and his tainted Black Armory caches across the European Dead Zone lead to a delivery note yielding the Scourge's hideout on Nessus. There the Guardians disrupted an exchange between Siviks and Telksis, the Pillager. Killing the latter, the Guardians successfully recovered the caches and secured the Gofannon Forge from Serekis-9, Kell's Scourge.

Seeking to plunder the Black Armory Vault of its secrets, the Kell's Scourge unleashed its Prime Servitor, Insurrection Prime, to breach the Last City and allow the anarchist Fallen to occupy a desolate section of it. In retaliation, Ada and the Vanguard issued a six manned raid into Scourge territory and secure the vault at all costs. Insurrection Prime was destroyed, but not before the Scourge stole pages from the logs of the Armory's founders; which the Guardians would reclaim from the Scourge.

In a final bid to gain an edge over the Guardians and competition, Siviks sought the secrets of Project Niobe, an initiative to develop and produce enhanced Black Armory prototypes. Following up on clues to its whereabouts in the stolen pages of the founders' journal, Siviks lead the Scourge to take over the restricted Niobe Labs, attaining control over its security protocols and the Bergusia Forge hidden within. Their victory was however short-lived with the arrival of the Guardians thwarting their efforts to secure the forge, causing Siviks to retreat and release the Black Recluse as a last defense.

Siviks was ultimately killed in a final standoff against the Guardian; who helped Ada-1 to reclaim the Black Armory's last remaining secrets and technology whilst leaving the Kell's Scourge leaderless and utterly crippled.

Structure
The Kell's Scourge is similar to that of the Spider's, with both groups being Fallen criminal organizations that are working for their own interests. With only a handful of Fallen using Black Armory-enhanced tech, the majority of its members are House of Dusk deserters whom had rallied to their cause.

They are also similar to the Devil Splicers, with both groups having harnessed Golden Age technology for their own nefarious purposes.
