AKA: Kaniks Two Fingers/ Kaniks the Detonator
It is unknown whether Kaniks became mad from the struggle of surviving outside of a Fallen House structure with his fellow Scorned, his continuous close exposure to his own explosives, or if that was just how he was when he was born. Whatever the case may be, Kaniks has been responsible for countless deaths and destruction across the Reef. Particularly done by his seeding of the Accretion Fields with his mines that have taken hundreds of Awoken lives. Kaniks has also been responsible for the Bombing of the Origin Libraries, which had committed to destroy any remaining vestiges of Awoken royalty.
Like his fellow Scorned Barons, Kaniks would be captured and brought to the Prison of Elders by Cayde and his Six, be freed from the Prison of Elders in a massive jailbreak, witness Cayde’s death at the hands of Uldren Sov, and flee from the Barons’ base of operation thanks to the Guardian.
Kaniks would flee to Four-Horn Gulch where he rigged the asteroids comprising the area to explode; thankfully the Guardian put a stop to it. The Guardian would later confront Kaniks in combat at Diaviks Mine, where the Mad Bomber would mock how Cayde apparently begged Uldren for mercy and how both us and Cayde weren’t heroes when we murder Fallen. But the Bomber would eventually fall, though his effects of his destruction remain.

For being a Mad Bomber, he had the patience of a saint and the diction of a scholar. Letting us defuse his mines, and waiting for us to finish them off, then showing up at the end to die. I bet he's in Valhalla right now with 72 Ascendant Raisins.

Kaniks has no house

I felt bad when he said we murder fallen. Because let’s be honest the other than the Skorn fallen just want to survive at this point.
