The '''Kell's Scourge''' are a gang of anarchist [[Fallen]] led by [[Siviks, Lost to None]] with hideouts across the [[Solar System]]. They are hellbent on sowing chaos wherever they go and actively seek to use the technology of the [[Black Armory]] to gain power and control.
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==
At some point before [[Black Armory (expansion)|the campaign]], Siviks fell out with his [[The Spider|brother]] (The Spider) and was imprisoned in the [[Prison of Elders]], only to escape and formed the Kell's Scourge as a rival syndicate from his brother's.<ref> https://www.ishtar-collective.net/items/the-new-syndicates-identity</ref><ref>https://www.ishtar-collective.net/entries/anarchy?highlight=Anarchy</ref> Siviks and his crew uncovered the [[Black Armory|Gofannon Forge]] on [[Nessus]], which they used to upgrade their weaponry with [[Black Armory]] technology and smuggle among the other malcontent [[Fallen]] that later joined their rebellious cause.<ref> https://www.ishtar-collective.net/items/scourge-of-the-armory</ref>
Before the events of [[Black Armory (expansion)|the campaign]], Siviks previously fell out with his [[The Spider|brother]] (The Spider) over his affable relationship with [[humanity]] and was imprisoned in the [[Prison of Elders]], only to escape and formed the Kell's Scourge as a rival syndicate from his brother's.<ref> https://www.ishtar-collective.net/items/the-new-syndicates-identity</ref><ref>https://www.ishtar-collective.net/entries/anarchy?highlight=Anarchy</ref> Siviks and his crew uncovered the [[Black Armory|Gofannon Forge]] on [[Nessus]], which they used to upgrade their weaponry with [[Black Armory]] technology.<ref> https://www.ishtar-collective.net/items/scourge-of-the-armory</ref>


Forming holdouts all across the system, the Scourge began to plunder for more Black Armory tech and gained the support of deserting [[House of Dusk]] members, whilst making a push into the Spider's [[Tangled Shore|territory]] as his competition. This forces the Spider's hand to reach out to the [[Guardians]] and reveal the secret location of the Black Armory hidden within the [[Last City]]. With the reluctant support of [[Ada-1]], Guardians began engaging with the Scourge at the [[EDZ]] and recovered the [[Black Armory|Volundr Forge]] from the [[Red Legion]] in the process.
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 [[Tangled Shore|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 the growing competition in the Tangled Shore, the Fallen mob boss had Guardians scavenge the local Fallen for information regarding Sivik's newly-formed syndicate and tasks them to put his brother down.<ref>https://www.ishtar-collective.net/transcripts/quest-the-new-syndicates-identity-the-spiders-competition?highlight=Fallen </ref>


Attempts at tracking Siviks and his Fallen caches across the European Dead Zone lead to a delivery note yielding the Scourge's base of operations on Nessus. There the Guardians disrupted an exchange between Siviks and [[Telksis the Pillager, Kell's Scourge|Telksis, the Pillager]], killing the latter and then securing the Gofannon Forge from [[Zevious-3, Forge Warden|Zevious-3]], the Forge Warden.

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

In a final bid to gain an edge over the Guardians and competition, Siviks sought the secrets of [[Obsidian Accelerator|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 and the City to reclaim the Black Armory's secrets and technology whilst leaving the Kell's Scourge leaderless and utterly crippled.
