Every Baron move begins and ends with the Baron dubbed the Rider. She breathes nihilism and breeds anarchy. For years the Rider’s gang has been a bane in the Asteroid Belt, seeking to replace any semblance of the hierarchal ranks that failed the Fallen long ago with unrelenting chaos. She gave them a pike and a purpose, and in exchange every member is prepared to ride or die for their fearless leader. The Rider’s fiercely loyal gang is gathered from the remnants of old houses, outlaws, and lone-wolf nomads. “Trust me, kids: Keep your eyes open, head down… and your Ghost close.” – Cayde-6

With the Rifleman, death can come at any second – and from any direction. Legends of his amassed riches have lured many a bounty hunter to challenge the Rifleman – only to find a bullet between their eyes. A sharpshooting assassin-for-hire and original member of the Barons. No matter where you hid, his bullet would find you, Guardian or no. Cross that threshold – and you’re as good as dead.

That’s because the Rifleman’s keen and well-tuned cybernetic eye always watches their backs. Since the Barons first ganged up, no one has ever managed to get the drop on them. “Never heard of the Mindbender? Surprise. Now the asteroid shifts between our dimension and the Ascendant Realm.

Latest reports reflect a dangerous obsession with the Hive. Little is known about the Baron dubbed “Mindbender”, but he has gained a reputation for unraveling the minds of his enemy.

After years of study, he found a way to carve a throne-world of his own from the Ascendant Realm. But his time in the Hive’s domain changed him, gave him a life-long obsession. He’s never spoken an intelligible word since. As a starving, runty little Dreg, the Mindbender fell into the Moon’s Hellmouth.
