They are hellbent on sowing chaos wherever they go and actively sought to use the technology of the [[Black Armory]] to gain power and control. They would later be subsumed into the ranks of the [[House of Salvation]] where some of their [[Brig|technology]] would be used. | ||

Prior to the events of ''[[Forsaken]]'', Siviks was captured and imprisoned by his brother. Over time the brothers drifted in ideology and eventually Sivik's trouble-making pushed The Spider to send him to the [[Prison of Elders]]. Eventually he would make his escape during the [[Hunt_for_the_Scorn|mass breakout]] of the prison and formed the Kell's Scourge as a rival syndicate to his brother's.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/12/7)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Forge]] | Prior to the events of ''[[Forsaken]]'', Siviks was captured and imprisoned by his brother.

In the intervening chaos, Siviks and his crew uncovered the lost [[Gofannon Forge]] on [[Nessus]] from the [[Exodus Black]].

Attempts at tracking Siviks and his tainted Black Armory caches across the European Dead Zone lead to a delivery note yielding the Scourge's [[The Conflux|hideout]] on Nessus. There the Guardians disrupted an exchange between Siviks and [[Telksis the Pillager, Kell's Scourge|Telksis the Pillager]]. Killing the latter, the Guardians successfully recovered the caches and went on to secure the Gofannon Forge from a powerful High Servitor, [[Serekis-9, Kell's Scourge|Serekis-9]].<ref name=Gofannon/> | Attempts at tracking Siviks and his tainted Black Armory caches across the European Dead Zone lead to a delivery note yielding the Scourge's [[The Conflux|hideout]] on Nessus.

There they created their [[Prime Servitor]], [[INSURRECTION PRIME, Kell's Scourge|INSURRECTION PRIME]], a gargantuan war mech utilizing the vault's stolen phase technology. In retaliation, Ada-1 and the [[Vanguard]] issued a six manned [[raid]] into the Botza District to secure the vault at all costs. Six guardians successfully, battled their way through Scourge territory and fought the syndicate's war mech guarding Vault Ebisu. Whilst Insurrection Prime was destroyed, it wasn't before the Kell's Scourge stole invaluable pages from the private log of the Armory's founder, [[Henriette Meyrin]]. Guardians were tasked to retrieve these documents from Fallen enemies and return them to Meyrin's heir, Ada-1.<ref> '''Bungie (2018/12/7)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Forge]], Activision Blizzard, [[Scourge of the Past]]''</ref><ref>'''Bungie (2018/12/7)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Forge]], [https://www.ishtar-collective.net/transcripts/the-black-armory-papers?highlight=Black+armory+pages The Black Armory Pages]''</ref> | ||
In a final bid to gain an edge over the Guardians and their competition, Siviks sought the secrets of [[Obsidian Accelerator|Project Niobe]], an initiative to develop and produce enhanced Black Armory prototypes. Following clues to its whereabouts in the stolen pages of Meyrin's journal, Siviks lead the Kell's Scourge to take over the restricted [[Niobe Labs]], attaining control of its security protocols and the Bergusia Forge hidden within. Unfortunately, their victory was short-lived with the arrival of the Guardians. Thwarting their efforts to secure the forge, the Guardians fought their way into the labs and defeated the Scourge-controlled security, causing Siviks to retreat.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/1/8)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Forge]] | In a final bid to gain an edge over the Guardians and their competition, Siviks sought the secrets of [[Obsidian Accelerator|Project Niobe]], an initiative to develop and produce enhanced Black Armory prototypes.

A few years after their assault on the Last City and the death of their leader, remnants of the Kell's Scourge would pledge their allegiance to [[Eramis, Kell of Darkness]] and her [[House of Salvation]]. Using their technology, House Salvation were able to mass produce weaker versions of Insurrection Prime named [[Brig]]s. Larger variants were also constructed known as Commodores, despite their similar scale they still lacked the dangerous Black Armory technology Insurrection Prime wielded.<ref>'''Bungie (2020/11/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Beyond Light]]'', ''[[Variks, the Loyal]]: [[Variks, the Loyal#Quotes|Technology taken from the Kell's Scourge.

The Kell's Scourge is similar to the [[House of Spider]] despite their animosity, with both groups being criminal syndicates working for tyrannical leaders looking out for their own interests. Despite the hierarchical similarities, the Scourge have considerably more advanced technology, developing a new type of [[Brig|war machine]], shields and weaponry with the [[Black Armory]]'s ancient knowledge. With only a [[Berserker, Kell's Scourge|handful]] of Eliksni fully equipped with Black Armory-enhanced tech, the rank-and-file members are mostly [[House of Dusk]] deserters and Prison of Elders convicts who have rallied to their cause. | The Kell's Scourge is similar to the [[House of Spider]] despite their animosity, with both groups being criminal syndicates working for tyrannical leaders looking out for their own interests.

The Syndicate, as observed by their servitors and likely a product of Siviks' cowardice and haste, exhibits patchwork designs with their servitors which is odd considering the Scourge's technological prowess - especially in that of Insurrection Prime. | ||
