History
Fiedra Marrow discovered Condemner in Agrupnin Vault just as the Divergence began.[5] It entered its Exalted State as Fiedra entered battle against Lord Callister,[6] allowing her to cast Hold Person strongly enough that Lord Callister could not resist, paralyzing him and allowing her to reclaim the Infiltrator's Key.[7]
