A year after the Red War, both Uldren and Fikrul were caught by [[Cayde-6]] and taken to the [[Prison of Elders]]. When [[Variks, the Loyal]]; an old friend, imprisoned Fikrul, he asked about the whereabouts of Kaliks Prime. Variks asked him if he betrayed the last Prime to the Taken and if that is the source of his corrupted ether. Fikrul replied that Kaliks has actually abandoned the Eliksni altogether. Following Riven's machination, Uldren took advantage of [[Variks]]' waivering loyalty and tricked him into releasing the prison's inmates, causing the Scorn to breakout out en-masse and killing Cayde in the process. | A year after the Red War, both Uldren and Fikrul were caught by [[Cayde-6]] and taken to the [[Prison of Elders]].

With the Scorned Barons now freed, Fikrul and the other Barons were offered the bounty of the [[Tangled Shore]] by [[Uldren]] as reward for their loyalty, bringing chaos to the local [[Spider's Syndicate|Fallen]] under [[The Spider]]'s command. As a result, their hideout was tipped off to a vengeance-seeking [[The Guardian|Guardian]] causing the Barons to flee whilst Fikrul raises a powerful [[Scorn of the Fanatic|undead Scorn]] to face the Guardian, all while mocking them over his necromantic mastery of [[Dark Ether]] before fleeing. | |||
When the Guardian finished [[The Machinist]] and the other six Scorned Barons, Fikrul and the remaining [[Scorn]] accompanied Uldren on his travels to unseal the [[Dreaming City]], warning him of the immediate [[Taken|danger]] that posed beyond the point of entry. Fikrul offered to go into the [[Watchtower]] in Uldren’s stead, but was told to defend it from the Guardian. Accepting his orders, Fikrul challenges the Guardian themselves to avenge his Scorned brethren only to die by their hands instead, seemingly avenging [[Cayde-6]] of the Barons who slew him. | |||
Unlike the other [[Scorn]] that died to the Guardian however, Fikrul is able to resurrect himself thanks to the [[Dark Ether]] within. Recognizing his resurrecting abilities similar to that of a [[Guardian]], the [[Vanguard]] assigned multiple [[Strike]] teams to continuously put him down as to suppress the Fanatic, while the [[Praxic Order]] reached out to [[Cryptarch]]s and [[Gensym Scribes]] for ways to make his destruction permanent. | |||
===Nightmare Legacy=== | |||

{{Quote|In the depths of the Prison of Elders, the Fanatic found his calling. With his fellow Barons by his side, the Fanatic murdered Cayde-6 on the orders of former Prince of the Reef, Uldren Sov. The Fanatic was able to resurrect the dead. It's only fitting the Pyramid would do the same for him.|[[Eris Morn]], speaking of Fikrul.}} | |||
Following over a year since the Scorn's fall, whether Fikrul has been permanently killed or not, the Guardian encounters a Darkness-created phantom, a [[Nightmare]], that bears the Fanatic's form as the Guardian attempts to enter the [[Pyramid]] structure beneath the Moon's surface. Though their initial battle had the Guardian forced to retreat, being nearly overwhelmed by Nightmares of [[Crota]] and [[Dominus Ghaul]] that joined the Nightmare of Fikrul, the Guardian returns after gaining knowledge and armor needed to combat the Nightmares. After entering the Pyramid, the Guardian battles with the Darkness-fueled image of Fikrul but the Nightmare of one of the Guardians more personal foes is defeated, the Guardian overcoming the Darkness's attempts at tormenting them. | |||
At a later date, the Guardians conduct Nightmare Hunts to push back the Pyramid's influence which often results in the creations of more nightmares. One said hunt has Guardians face the [[Nightmare of Fikrul, the Fanatic]], representing the Essence of Insanity. After a struggle that leads the Guardians to the ruined Shrine of Oryx, the Guardians succeed in putting the Nightmare down. | |||
