'''Vulpis, the Dracobane''' is the [[Fallen]] [[Kell]] of the secretive [[Forum:Dragon's Breath|Dragon's Breath]] Order. She is known for many feats, mostly considered myths, most notably the slaughter of an [[Forum:Darumel, Pride of Xîn|Ahamkara]] Dragon and younger sister of [[Forum:Srikes, Exile Veteran|Srikes]]

==Biography==
===Devil Baroness===
{{Quote|Once, I was a Baroness of the House of Devils. Oh, what a mess they were in. The the power vacuum you [[Guardian]]s left. You might as well say they were fighting a Three [[Hive|Front]] [[Guardian|War]]|Vulpis addressing her days as a Devil}} 
Vulpis was born into the House of Devils slightly after the [[Battle of the Twilight Gap]]. She quickly ascended the ranks from Dreg to Vandal to Captain. Making enemies along the way and eliminating them before they become a threat. By 15 Earth years, young for the Fallen, she was allowed access to a fleet of [[Skiff]]s and [[Ketch]]es. Cleverly, she tended to avoid [[Vanguard]] attention by leaving Vanguard convoys alone, avoiding important Human ruins and even taking prisoners. Rarely did she and her fleet attack any Vanguard or [[Guardian]] operatives. Although, against other Houses and races, she was brutal. Reports have stated that she personally docks other or disobedient Fallen with her bare hands before throwing them with the [[Thralls]].

As a Baroness, she tended to deploy shock squads to manage [[Glimmer]] excavation all around the [[Solar System]]. At her peak, it was said she had accumulated 402 tons of Glimmer. Some were gained through the ransoms she demanded from prisoners, others from ransacking other Houses, and, sometimes, trade deals with the aforementioned Houses. Her fellow Barons some times referred to her fleet as ''The Priceless Armada''. Coincidentally, she stowed all of her findings before she was exiled, before others could claim it.

It was until one fateful day, that a certain [[The Guardian|Guardian]] and some others uncovered one of their operations in [[The Divide]] in the [[Cosmodrome]], it was then a [[Fallen Walker]] and a [[Glimmer Drill]] were destroyed. It was then her first loss. She, for the first time, lost. Due to this failure, and other failures such as failing to join in and save [[Sepiks Prime]], she was exiled. Although she prospered the House of Devils and razed many Houses over, her legacy was almost entirely forgotten.
===Exile to Exiles===
{{Quote|What I respect about the [[House of Exile]] is that they respect me. They've heard what I can do... and what I will do. They knew that wronging me would've been the greatest mistake of their life.|Vulpis addressing her days as an Exile}}
After she was deposed from the Devils, she went to the [[Moon]] in search of the House of Exiles. She was first found by [[Frigoris, Exiled Baron]], and was quickly brought into the Exiles. She regained her rightful spot as Baroness in the Exiles, as they have heard of her skills and cunning and hoped they would prove fruitful among them. 

First, she lead a successful mining operation, fending off the hoards of [[Hidden Swarm]] [[Hive]]. Second, she personally assassinated a [[Blade of Crota]]. Third, she lead a successful heist in the [[Temple of Crota]]. And on the fourth attempt, Vulpis lead a massive mining operation with her older sister, [[Forum:Srikes, Exile Veteran|Srikes, Exile Veteran]], where Srikes killed a major Hive Abomination. After the battle, Vulpis demanded Srikes receive a promotion. 

She stayed with the House of Exile until the end of the [[SIVA Crisis]], where the members of the Exiles went to join the [[House of Dusk]]. However, even with all of her lackeys leaving to join Dusk, even Srikes, Vulpis left to wander the [[Solar System]] to start a house all her own. With her, she took a [[Servitor]] named [[Forum:Noviks Prime, the Warmachine|Noviks]] to feed her on her travels.

===The Adventures of a Nomad===
With a [[Ketch]] of her own, Vulpis explored the [[Solar System]]. According to legend, she traveled as far as Pluto in search of a home. Although alone, she and Noviks have taken on larger threats, whether it be a small [[Cabal]] fleetgroup, a [[Hive warship]], or even a [[Guardian]] ace pilot. She wandered the ruins of the [[Ishtar Academy]], the floating cities the [[New Pacific Arcology]], or what was left of the [[Cosmodrome]].

One day, she went to [[Io]] to contemplate on the [[Traveler]] and it's alliance with [[Humanity]]. She thought of how it would feel to have a family to trust again. Then, an [[Ahamkara]] walked up to her to feed on her desire and disguised itself as Srikes. Detecting the ruse, Vulpis fought the beast and eventually incapacitated it. Before it died, she wished for a house to lead and overpower all other houses, and killed it and took it's skull.

A year later, the Ahamkara came through with her wish, as renegade members of the [[House of Dusk]] sought to find shelter under a new banner. In commemoration of the Ahamkara, Vulpis named this new house [[Forum:Dragon's Breath|Dragon's Breath]] and named herself [[Kell]].

===A New Order===
{{Quote|From a small gang of destitute rats to hell-bent super-soldiers, me and my people have ascended. No one will know, but they will know fear when they discover us... if they discover us. Until then, we lurk in the shadows, pouncing on any... unsuspecting pray, and dragging them back into the shadows, forever lost to history.|Vulpis accounting the rise of Dragon's Breath}}
After Vulpis started [[Forum:Dragon's Breath|Dragon's Breath]], she and her new followers found their den in the ''Rocky Mountain Exclusion Zone''. There, they discover [[Forum:The Tribals (Joke Faction)|The Tribals]] waging war against each other, where Vulpis found use in the sound concealing their own work. After some time, Vulpis abolished Dregery to promote a stronger military force and increase morale, however those who wish to remained docked on their own part can become Vulpis' lieutenants. She and her gang made raids on [[Cabal]] convoys, stole [[Vanguard]] equipment, and even assassinated other [[Fallen]] who proved too much of a threat. With all the technology stolen, the ragtag group of bandits became a full fledged army, with new followers appearing everyday.

Vulpis became widely respected and feared among her house due to her openness and strict military discipline, saying that any soldier should fight to the bitter end. She even ended up on the battlefield with her own troops and fought with them. She helped her [[Splicers]] develop new technologies, personally trained her troops, and kick-started a mechanization program for a new weapons system for troops. 

Some time later, with an unknown spouse, she gave birth to four children who will eventually become [[Forum:Panavis, High Priestess|Panavis, High Priestess]], [[Forum:Kavahn, Head Guardsman|Kavahn, Head Guardsman]], [[Forum:Tuliks, the Emissary|Tuliks, the Emissary]], and [[Forum:Bharad, the Mutualist|Bharad, the Mutualist]]. Like their mother, they will prove to be friendly to the obedient and ruthless to the insubordinate.

Through an incident on [[Earth]], she met [[Forum:Cheghik, Battalion Commander|Cheghik, Battalion Commander]], where they become mutual allies with the goal of developing weapons and using them against their enemies. Together, they took control of [[Forum:The Tribals (Joke Faction)|The Tribals]], ransacked a [[House of Dusk]] stronghold, massacred a [[Red Legion]] Firebase. Some time later, Vulpis and Cheghik slaughtered a whole fireteam of [[Guardian]]s, a fireteam sent to survey the Rocky Mountain Exclusion Zone, personally.
