The Spider would demand order and stability to be brought back to the [[Prison of Elders]] following its mass breakout, which was under the Scorned Barons' control with the work of [[Araskes, the Trickster]]. Calling in the [[The Drifter (character)|Drifter]] as a favor to rally a crew, the Guardians destroyed [[Variks]]' malfunctioning [[Warden|Warden Servitor]]. With the Prison in his hands, the Spider could sell it back to the [[Awoken]] after cleaning it of the leftover inmates with the Drifter.<ref name="Warden of Nothing">'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[ | The Spider would demand order and stability to be brought back to the [[Prison of Elders]] following its mass breakout, which was under the Scorned Barons' control with the work of [[Araskes, the Trickster]].

At a later date, the Guardians maintained vigilance over the Tangled Shore to hunt down any Prison of Elders escapees and provide favors for the Spider to pay off their "debt" to the Fallen Mob. This includes hunting down the [[Silent Fang]], those affiliated with [[Irxis, Wolf Baroness]] and [[Beltrik, the Veiled]], [[Fortifier Yann]] and [[Calzar, Scarred Captain]], the latter of three the Spider has personal beef with.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[ | At a later date, the Guardians maintained vigilance over the Tangled Shore to hunt down any Prison of Elders escapees and provide favors for the Spider to pay off their "debt" to the Fallen Mob.

Tracking the Fanatic to the Scorn's original lair, the Guardians battle against Frikul once again and despite his Dark Ether abilities, they slay the Fanatic again but he swears that he will return. | ||

The Spider's syndicate appears to be loosely organized to be an official Fallen House. 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. <ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[ | The Spider's syndicate appears to be loosely organized to be an official Fallen House.

Even non-Fallen can find employment in the syndicate if they have the right skills.
