"We have butchers at our gates, four-armed and eager for slaughter."
— Fallen Grimoire entry

Template:Species Infobox The Fallen are an alien species that fights against the remnants of the human race.

Overview

The Fallen are a nomadic race of pirates who were once part of noble houses. This is evidenced by the banners and flags they still fly even after their fall from nobility.[1] The Fallen search the stars for artifacts of their lost civilization.[2] They first arrived in the solar system after the Collapse, arriving in their massive Ketches to loot and pillage humanity's former worlds, leaving grief and wreckage in their wake.[3]

The Fallen Houses have apparently laid claim to all worlds and territories once owned by humanity, and fight the remnants of the human race, and possibly one another, for dominion over these places.[4]

The Fallen have a somewhat stable relationship with the Vex, and go to extreme measures to destroy any Hive in their path.[citation needed]

Biology

Fallen have 2 pairs of arms and typically wear a helmet with what appears to be respirator devices.[4] Through means either natural or artificial, the Fallen can regrow their arms if removed from their body.[5] Their blood color is red.[6] When killed, a Fallen's "soul" escapes it.[7] They are a hardy species, and can survive in a wide range of environments without heavy armor or complex modifications to their physiology. They travel light, hit hard, and are gone before their enemies know it.[8]

Fallen depend on ether to survive, which the servitors provide for them.[9]

Noble Houses

Fallen society is divided into a number of Noble Houses, none of which are known to maintain friendly relations with one another.[10] Each of these houses is led by a Kell, who claim to be royalty.[3] Kells act as the political leaders of each house, while their Prime Servitors act as the religious leaders, served and protected by an Archon. Houses need all three to be fully stable; infighting is common if a house loses its Kell, and a house without a Prime Servitor cannot produce new servitors.[9]
