Archons are part of the triumvirate leadership of a Fallen House, and serve the Primer Servitor; working as a go between communicating the wills of each to the other. Archons also act as mechanics for their Primes, and take part in some sort of unclear symbiosis, but are still clearly defined as a servant to their Prime.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Fallen#Servitor|Servitor]]''</ref><ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Fallen_Leadership#Aksor, Archon Priest|Aksor, Archon Priest]]''</ref> If an Archon were to fall, that House's Prime Servitor becomes vulnerable to attack.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Fallen_Leadership#Riksis_Devil_Archon|Riksis, Devil Archon]]''</ref> They are also responsible for overseeing a Fallen ritual know as the [[Archon's Forge]], an ancient rite of passage for Fallen seeking to improve their station.<ref>'''Bungie (2016-9-20)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[Rise of Iron]] PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Activities/Rise_of_Iron#Archon's_Forge|Archon's Forge]]''</ref>  

Houses seem to have several high station mechanics called "Rising Archons" ready to assume the role should there be a need to. They themselves appear to be skilled mechanics, eager to prove their worth.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Fallen_Leadership#S.A.B.E.R.-2|S.A.B.E.R-2]]''</ref> How new Archons are selected is unclear, but during the course of the [[Reef Wars]] the [[House of Wolves]] had no less than two different Archons during the course of the war.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Fallen_Leadership#Aksor, Archon Priest|Aksor, Archon Priest]]''</ref><ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, Item Description, [http://www.ishtar-collective.net/items/hunt-the-archon?highlight=Keldar Hunt the Archon]''</ref>

Other duties of Archons are unclear, but they do seem to have a role in the ritualistic docking that Fallen Dregs are subject to.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/5/19)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[House of Wolves (expansion)|House of Wolves]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Allies/Legends_&_Mysteries#Mystery: Fate of Skolas|Mystery: Fate of Skolas]]''</ref> Prime Servitors also play some role in Fallen Star Flight, and it may be the Archon's role in conveying the wished of the Kell to the Prime on the course.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Fallen#Servitor|Servitor]]''</ref> In the absence of a Kell, an Archon can serve as the de facto leader of a House in their stead. [[Riksis, Devil Archon]] ruled the [[House of Devils]] since the death of his Kell over one hundred years ago.<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Allies/Legends_&_Mysteries#Legend:_Saint-14|Legend: Saint-14]]''</ref> His successor, [[Aksis, Archon Prime]], also used his new authority as Archon to take control of the House, although his power was far more limited due to the radical nature of his views, and the death of [[Sepiks Prime]].<ref>'''Bungie (2016-9-20)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[Rise of Iron]] PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Sepiks Perfected]]''</ref><ref>'''Bungie (2016-9-20)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[Rise of Iron]] PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Fallen#Devil_Splicers|Devil Splicers]]''</ref>

*Archon (Greek: ἄρχων, árchon) is a Greek word that means one of the nine chief magistrates of ancient Athens.

*Guardians encounter Archons far more often than either [[Kell]]s or [[Prime Servitor]]s of the Fallen Houses.

**So far, the [[House of Devils]] possessed more Archons then the other Houses the Guardians encountered.
