==History==

At some point, the mob had a major dispute whereby [[the Spider]] and his maniacal brother, [[Siviks, Lost to None|Siviks]] disagreed over the former's affable relationship with [[Humans]]. This led to Siviks spitting at the face of the Spider as he was taken away to the [[Prison of Elders]] by the Spider's men.<ref name="Anarchy">'''Bungie (2018/12/7)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Black Armory (expansion)|Black Armory]], Activision Blizzard, Item Description: [[Anarchy#Lore|Anarchy]]''</ref>

The Spider's growing influence helped him control the [[Tangled Shore]] up until the [[Scorn]] began its civil war with the noble houses. Later the Spider made a deal with Queen [[Mara Sov]] to protect the [[Dreaming City]] in return for her overlooking his activities in the Shore.

===Rise of the Scorn===

===Hunting the Scorn===

{{Quote|Divide. Conquer. Isolate Uldren. He'll wind up at your feet. And all you have to do... is pull the trigger.|The Spider.}}

Slowly but surely, the Guardian takes out the Scorn's forces bit-by-bit and soon discover each Baron had plans for when they would be done with the Reef. The Guardians succeed in killing [[Araskes, the Trickster]], [[Yaviks, the Rider]] and [[Kaniks, the Mad Bomber]].

With another tip from the Spider, the Guardian searched for [[Hiraks, the Mindbender]], a Scorn Baron with a morbid fascination for the Hive. The search for Hiraks takes them to a downed Hive Warship from the Taken War, which became a breeding ground for the Hive stranded in the Shore. Fighting past Hive soldiers under the control of Hiraks, the Guardian soon finds a portal rupture that leads to Hiraks' own throne world. Within the Ascendant Plane, the Guardian face off against Hiraks, who is stronger and more powerful within his throne world, but despite his Hive servants and Ascendant powers, they kill the Mindbender which causes his Ascendant Plane to destabilize. The Guardian manages to escape just in time before the Ascendant Plane collapses.

With most of the Barons dead, the Guardian manage to track down the Baron's second-in-command, [[Elykris, the Machinist]] to Salvage Zone QX. There, the Machinist challenges the Guardian and forces them to question their motives in the deaths of her comrades. Nonetheless, the Guardian battles with Elykris where she unleashes the full force of her stolen and salvaged weaponry. Even with the force of her weaponry and tactics, the Guardian manages to kill Elykris and destroy her stockpile.

===Anarchy of the Scourge===

With the Guardian now owing favors to him, the Spider enlists them in aiding one of his valued business associates: [[Ada-1]] and the secret [[Black Armory]]; to which he gifts them a badge to permit entry into the Armory's private store at the [[Tower (Destiny 2)|Tower]].<ref>'''Bungie (2018/12/7)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Black Armory (expansion)|Black Armory]], Activision Blizzard, Transcript: [https://www.ishtar-collective.net/transcripts/quest-black-armory-badge-the-black-armory Quest: Black Armory Badge] ''</ref> The Guardian would provide Ada-1 the assistance she needed by reclaiming the lost [[Volundr Forge]] from the [[Red Legion]] and forging their first weapon frame.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/12/7)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Black Armory (expansion)|Black Armory]], Activision Blizzard, Transcript: [https://www.ishtar-collective.net/transcripts/quest-the-first-blacksmith-the-black-armory The First Blacksmith, The Black Armory]''</ref> However, their endeavors with the Black Armory would only get more complicated from there on out.

===Season of the Hunt===

Two years after the aforementioned conflicts between the Kell's Scourge, a new one would arise directly impacting the Spider's syndicate once more. Growing since the time of his brother's anarchy, Spider had taken to dispatching multiple salvage crews and supply runs. One such salvage operation, lead by [[Kosis]], saw the preparation of an old Ketch belonging to the [[House of Kings]] marked for salvage. Followed in her crew by [[Savek, Betrayer for Xivu Arath|Savek]], the group set up camp with Ether rationing being structured by Spider to incentivize the crew to get the job done quickly alongside being more cost-effective. Trying to fall asleep, Savek would hear the echoing whispers of [[Cryptolith|an unknown Hive-like object]] which she discovered within a nearby rocky cave no larger than a Servitor.<ref name="RATIONS">'''Bungie (2020/11/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Beyond Light]]'', ''[[Lore]]: [[Lore:Call_of_the_Cryptolith|Call of the Cryptolith]] - [[Lore:Call_of_the_Cryptolith#II. RATIONS|II. RATIONS]]''</ref>

Ever since her return, Mara Sov expected the Spider to lend some form of aid for the campaign but instead the Spider hadn't even contacted the Awoken which disappointed the Awoken Queen. Instead, the Spider was looking to leave the Reef altogether as he was aware Mara knew about his treatment of Crow and thus sought avoid the Reef Queen's gaze. Making contact with his old business associate, The Drifter, the Spider employed him to smuggle himself and his operatives out of the Reef.
