Biography
The Reef Wars
A protégé of Paladin Imogen Rife, Fen served as a commander in the Reef's armada during the Reef Wars.[2] At the Siege of Pallas, after capturing and imprisoning Weksis, the Meek, Fen worked in conjunction with the Techeun Witches and the Crows to create a Harbinger illusion to fool the massive Fallen Wolf fleet amassed around Pallas, and break the several-year-long stalemate.[3][2] As a result of this brilliant maneuver Fen, and Paladins Leona Bryl and Kamala Rior were able to outflank and obliterate the Wolf fleet, freeing the people of Pallas, and capturing Wolf nobles Drevis, Wolf Baroness and Pirsis, Pallas-Bane, who was responsible for the death of his mentor Rife during the siege. Fen was awarded Rife's place among the Seven Paladins by Queen Mara Sov for his service.[2]
Later, when Skolas, Wolf Kell attempted to lead a final assault on Cybele, now-Paladin Fen was there with the other three Armada Paladins to capture him.The Reef Wars were ended by this maneuver.[4] For his efforts, a weapon was commissioned for his personal use.[5] In memory of Imogen Rife, who was killed by Pirsis, Fen had another weapon commissioned.[6]
Decades later, Fen attended a ceremony in the Dreaming City's Hall of Names that saw the promotion of Petra Venj to the rank of Queen's Wrath. Fen was visibly upset during the ceremony,[7] as he and several other Paladins did not believe Petra was worthy of the post, considering her too young and inexperienced to replace Sjur Eido and believing that another Paladin should have received the honor instead.[8]
Regency of Petra Venj
- "When everything is going wrong, but you aren't in charge, it's easy to imagine you could do a better job. But I was wrong."
- — Fen, apologizing to Petra Venj
In the immediate aftermath of the Battle of Saturn and the presumed deaths of Queen Mara and Prince Uldren Sov, the Reef was invaded by Hive Seeder Ships from the fleet of Oryx, the Taken King. Fen was placed in charge of civilian defense by Petra, who had been designated Regent-Commander by the Queen prior to the battle. As chaos erupted across the Reef Fen evacuated as many civilians as he could to the shielded inner cities of the Reef.[9] Three months after the end of the Taken War a memorial service for Prince Uldren by the Crows was held at their headquarters on the Black Hull. As the service was about to begin, Fen searched for Petra and found her in a washroom near the entrance to the Black Hull. She stated that she would not attend, but Fen countered that as Regent-Commander she needed to attend and that the Crows would want to see her, while also noting that a sword had been crafted in Uldren's honor. However, Petra stated that her presence would be confirming the belief that Uldren and Mara were dead. Fen told her that they were, but Petra said she wanted the people of the Reef to hope they survived.[10]
