{{Quote|Shh, shh, shh, shh… This is going to hurt… A lot. Any last words?"<br>"How's your sister?|Uldren and Cayde, before the Prince executed the Hunter Vanguard}} | |||
A year following the Red War, he and Fikrul took advantage of the Warden [[Variks, the Loyal|Variks]]' wavering loyalty and tricked him into releasing the prison's inmates, causing the Scorn to breakout out en-masse. In the depths of the prison the Barons were confronted by Cayde-6, but [[Pirrha, the Rifleman|Pirrha]] was able to shoot and kill his [[Ghost]] [[Sundance]], depriving the Hunter of his Light. After [[Reksis Vahn, the Hangman|Reksis Vahn]] smashed Cayde through a nearby wall, Uldren retrieved the Guardian's custom [[Hand cannon]], the [[Ace of Spades]], and began approaching the badly wounded Exo. Cayde asked if the Prince might have a gun he could borrow, amusing Uldren, who told him that he did not but did have a bullet with Cayde's name on it. The Hunter Vanguard threatened that his partner, the Young Wolf, would arrive to kill Uldren and the Barons at any moment, but Uldren shushed his threats and pointed the Ace at Cayde, vowing that his death would hurt and asking for his last words. Cayde inquired how Uldren's sister was, causing the Prince to take a deep breath and close his eyes before shooting Cayde in the chest. As he prepared to leave out of the airlock with the Barons, the Young Wolf arrived, and Uldren mockingly told them that the dying Cayde had not felt a thing before escaping.<ref name="LC">'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]], Activision Blizzard - [[Missions|Mission]]: [[Last Call]]''</ref> | |||
====Sowing Chaos==== | |||
{{Quote|As for you, my friends, my Barons… you embraced me when I was cast out. And for that I gift to you the bounty of the Tangled Shore. Go! Unleash upon the Fallen… chaos.|Uldren gives his orders to the Scorn Barons}} | |||
With the Scorned Barons under his leadership, Uldren began a campaign of terror across the Reef. His first target was the [[Vestian Outpost]] where the Scorn laid siege to the throne room. Uldren knocked on the door to the chamber and called out to Paladin [[Dinna]] that it was his throne she was guarding and requested to be let in. She refused due to the Scorn, whom Uldren informed her were just his retinue. The Scorn blew open the door to the throne room and Uldren entered first. He ordered the [[Royal Awoken Guard]]s within to be at ease, and their training and his status as a royal caused them all to briefly hesitate and lower their guard for enough time for the Scorn behind him to begin firing without resistance, and Uldren joined in on slaughtering the remaining defenders.<ref name="KW">'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]], Activision Blizzard - [[Lore]]: [[Lore:The_Awoken_of_the_Reef#King's_Wrath|The Awoken of the Reef - King's Wrath]]''</ref> | |||
Sitting upon his sister's throne, Uldren spoke to his loyal Barons and accepted his place as their leader. He claimed that although Mara was gone, she was their Queen and would be with them now and forever more. In thanks for their loyalty and embracing him, Uldren gifted the [[Tangled Shore]] and asked them to unleash chaos amongst the Fallen there. Fikrul bowed and said they would do so by Uldren's grace, and the Prince nodded in gratitude to the leader of the Barons. With the Barons gone, Uldren began speaking to Mara and told her that the Reefborn's love for her remained. She appeared and told him love was fleeting while devotion was forever. Mara praised him and told him not to trust the Awoken and that he must bestow the gift of extinction upon them. Picking up a nearby torch, Uldren contemplated what to do as corrupted Darkness energy spread along his neck. Mara whispered once more to free her and he threw the torch upon the throne, lighting the chamber on fire as he left to pursue his goals.<ref name="HPB">'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]], Activision Blizzard - [[Missions|Mission]]: [[High Plains Blues]]''</ref> | |||
Time was soon running out for Uldren, as each of the Scorn Barons fell to the Guardian one-by-one, leaving only the Fanatic as his last defense as the Guardian closed in. The Fanatic soon fell, but at the center of the Watchtower, Uldren opened the gateway with the Darkness within him and the Light Shard but instead of his sister appearing, a grotesque servitor-like Taken creature, the [[Voice of Riven]], took her place, revealing that Mara Sov was never speaking to him but it was instead, [[Riven]] using him to free itself. Uldren realized this too late as the Voice of Riven swallowed him whole. | ====The Watchtower==== | ||

To release her, Uldren required a combination of Light and Darkness to open the gateway for Mara Sov to be free. Already infected with the Darkness, Uldren sought out the Light in the [[European Dead Zone]], and recovered a Shard of the Traveler but narrowly escaped an assassination attempt by Petra Venj.

However, the Guardian soon fought their way to the center and fought with the Voice of Riven, and despite the creature's strange powers, the Guardian succeeded in destroying it, releasing Uldren. The Guardian, with the Ace of Spades, approached a defeated Uldren who questioned where his sister was, but Petra Venj soon arrived at the scene, equally ready to execute him. Uldren adamantly claimed that everything he has done was for Mara, but both the Guardian and Petra were not convinced. Ghost, however, stated that simply executing him wasn't right, but Petra angrily stated that she knew what Cayde-6 would do. Uldren further supported this question on what Cayde would do and asked the Guardian on what they plan to do. After a moment of silence and thought, they aimed the Ace of Spades at him. Uldren closed his eyes and was promptly executed, avenging Cayde-6 as well as the Awoken that Uldren had forsaken. | However, the Guardian soon fought their way to the center and fought with the Voice of Riven, and despite the creature's strange powers, the Guardian succeeded in destroying it, releasing Uldren.
