Fikrul was once a well-regarded Archon Priest of [[Kaliks Prime]] within the [[House of Wolves]], but he was cast out after speaking against the [[Great Machine]] and lamenting his species' dependence on [[Servitors]] for survival and would be replaced by [[Aksor, Archon Priest]]. His words would later influence the techno-deviant [[Devil Splicers]] of the [[Plaguelands]], while Fikrul himself explored his own darker interpretations of faith. | |||
Following the [[Taken War]], Fikrul would go on to lead a group of lowly [[Dreg]]s cast out from the [[House of Exile]], who collectively titled themselves the Scorned Barons. Together they unleashed havoc amongst the Reefborn [[Awoken]] and various Fallen Houses in the [[Reef]], ultimately leading to the demise of the [[House of Wolves]] through the destruction of all their Servitors. They would later become captured in a final standoff between [[Cayde-6]], [[Petra Venj]], and their posse of [[Guardians]]; leaving only Fikrul as their Archon to evade capture. | |||

At some point following the Taken War, [[Prince Uldren]] formed an alliance with the [[House of Kings]], and in his search for [[Mara Sov]] he discovered a mortally wounded Fikrul. Uldren wished that he could save the dying Fallen; his wish was heard by [[Riven]], the [[Taken]] [[Ahamkara]] residing in the [[Dreaming City]], who Uldren had long ago brought to the Reef as a hatchling. Riven granted Uldren's wish by infusing some of Uldren's [[Darkness]] into Fikrul's [[Ether]], creating [[Dark Ether]] and raising him as the first Scorn. Fikrul thereafter treated Uldren with devotion and reverence, calling him "Father" and believing that Uldren had granted him his new life and powers. | |||
In gratitude, Fikrul would assist Uldren in taking out the [[House of Kings]], usurping [[Craask, Kell of Kings]] whom conflicted with his ambitions. In a grand betrayal, Uldren summoned Fikrul to dock Craask of all four of his arms and reduce the former Kell to the rank of a Dreg. Rumors later circulated among the Fallen that Uldren and Fikrul had slain Craask outright, along with the entire House which Fikrul then raised as the first undead [[Scorn]] with his Dark Ether. | |||
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. | |||
