Kridis was born into the [[House of Devils]] and endured through the [[Long Drift]] for generations as the [[Eliksni]] chased the [[Traveler]] through space in search of salvation. The cataclysmic [[Whirlwind]] crippled the Eliksni and slowly a new faith emerged in the veneration of [[Servitor]]s. Kridis was raised on the belief that the Eliksni were meant for a higher purpose and clung on to their collective desire of evolving beyond their current forms.

Following their arrival | Following their arrival into the [[Solar System]], the Devils claimed the [[Cosmodrome]] of [[Old Russia]] as their territory. Kridis was stationed there alongside her friends, [[Eramis]] and [[Phylaks]], and developed a close kinship with them. The formidable trio spent years raiding [[Humanity|human]] settlements, and fending off members of rival [[Fallen]] Houses that attempted to encroach upon the Devils' territory. Each aspired Kellship as the three dreamt of ways to defeat their mighty [[Kell]], [[Solkis, Devil Kell|Solkis]], and take control of the House for themselves.<ref name="Council">'''Bungie (2020/11/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Beyond Light]], PlayStation 4, [[Lore]]: [[Lore:The_Once-Shipstealer#VIII._The_Council|VIII.

Kridis fought in the battle alongside her Servitor, Eramis and Phylaks. In one instance Kridis nods to Eramis as she is shielded by her Servitor in a purple glow of Ether and turns to fire her rifle at group of [[Guardians]]. The trio slew many more Guardians and led a charge to the City walls with the aid of [[Taniks, the Scarred]] and [[House of Winter]]. However the crusade of Final Attempt ended in defeat as the alliance of [[Fallen]] Houses retreated against [[The Last City]] and ended their hopes of reclaiming [[Traveler|the Great Machine]] from humanity.<ref>'''Bungie (2020/11/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Beyond Light]], PlayStation 4, [[Lore]]: [[Lore:The_Once-Shipstealer#V._The_Nightmare|V.

The trio were broken up when Eramis was captured by the Reefborn [[Awoken]] during the [[Wolf Rebellion|Wolf Wars]] and imprisoned in the [[Prison of Elders]].

Variks believed that Kridis was drawn out of the shadows in search for power as she always had the ambition of being Kell-worthy and wished to triumph where Eramis failed. He provided intel from his spies that Kridis aimed to revive her House and her followers began hoarding remnants of the Dark for unknown reasons. The Guardians collected artifacts called Flecks of Dark from the Fallen in [[Cadmus Ridge]] to provide clues to Kridis' plan. Later more Fallen attempted to leave the rule of Kridis as her devotion to the Dark had swayed them to seek refuge with the [[House of Light]] and [[House of Dusk]]. The [[Archon Aspirant]]s are deployed in [[Eventide Ruins]] to prevent a [[Skiff]] from leaving, but the Guardians would dispose of Kridis' Aspirants and freed the Skiff. Later it is discovered that Kridis was preparing a mysterious ritual by using Darkness. | Variks believed that Kridis was drawn out of the shadows in search for power as she always had the ambition of being Kell-worthy and wished to triumph where Eramis failed.

As the Guardians journeyed to Riis Reborn to investigate her ritual, Variks claimed that unlike Eramis who wished to destroy gods, Kridis choose to search for meaning through the Darkness. Transmissions from Kridis are picked by the radio channels as she preached to her House that Eramiskel was merely asleep and the Darkness had granted her the gift to rouse her slumber. She declared that Eramis had only began as her Kell will unleash a "storm of blood and ice" upon their foes. She further claimed that Eramis' transformation was a means by which she was exploring the deeper secrets of the Darkness and she will return not as a Kell, but as a god. Kridis declared that the Darkness had granted her visions of Eramis' journey and named her as the escort to bring Eramis back to her faithful people. Followers of Kridis such as [[Sniksis, House Salvation|Sniksis]] and [[Piksis, House Salvation|Piksis]] are defeated by the Guardians and later they encounter [[Yamiks Prime]] who was enlisted to guard the pathway due to the importance of recovering Eramis. | As the Guardians journeyed to Riis Reborn to investigate her ritual, Variks claimed that unlike Eramis who wished to destroy gods, Kridis choose to search for meaning through the Darkness.

After defeating [[Yamiks Prime]], a barrier will open to reveal the pathway to Kridis. The Dark Priestess is found within the middle of arena idle in a stasis pose and approaching her will initiate the encounter as rises from her stance and enters battle. She will spawn a wave of [[Marauder]]s and [[Wretch]]es to tackle Guardians and caution must be taken as Kridis will occasionally freeze players with her Stasis blasts while her reinforcements attack mercilessly. | After defeating [[Yamiks Prime]], a barrier will open to reveal the pathway to Kridis.
