He and his [[Ketch]], [[Kaliks-Syn]], are found on the [[Moon]]. Unlike most Fallen commanders, he is armed with a [[Scorch Cannon]], which he uses with devastating effect. With this weapon, he can effectively hold down an area at any range. In addition, he will smash the ground if a Guardians wanders too close to him. Like many Captains, he can teleport. Unlike most Captains, though, he can teleport long distances. He uses this to avoid being defeated in one confrontation, requiring players to wear down his health until he can be cornered. | He and his [[Ketch]], [[Kaliks-Syn]], are found on the [[Moon]].
