{{Quote|The Devils take whatever nature has yet to claim.|[[Master Rahool]]<ref name = 'GrimHOD'/>}}
The '''House of Devils''' are a [[Fallen]] House, distinguishable by their red cloaks.<ref>[http://www.ausgamers.com/features/read/3321493 '''Ausgamers''': ''Bungie Talks Destiny Networking, Loot and Customisation, Community, Vehicles and Much More'']</ref> They were for the longest time the City's most pervasive foe, surpassing the [[Hive]], until the [[Cabal]] [[Red Legion]] [[Red War|invasion]].

Later, former Devils joined their former [[Eramis, Kell of Darkness|Baroness]] to form the [[House of Salvation]], in hopes of destroying the Traveler for abandoning their people.<ref>'''Bungie (2020/06/09)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [https://www.ishtar-collective.net/entries/rimed-shell Rimed Shell]''</ref><ref>'''Bungie (2020/10/20)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [https://youtu.be/k6c6M0rKW7s Beyond Light Story trailer]''</ref>

==History==
===Dark Age===
Prior to arriving in the Solar System, the House of Devils was one of many Fallen Houses struggling to survive in the wake of a cataclysmic event known as The [[Whirlwind]].<ref>'''Bungie (2014/5/19)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[House of Wolves (expansion)|House of Wolves]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Allies/The_Queen#Variks,_The_Loyal|Variks, The Loyal]]''</ref> Years later, after arriving into the Sol system, the Devils moved in on Earth. They were present during the Fall of London.<ref>'''Bungie (2014-6-12)''', ''Destiny: Alpha PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Lakshmi-2]]: [[Lakshmi-2#Quotes|Quotes]]''</ref> 

===Six Fronts===
In an attempt to take the Traveler, the Devils attacked [[The City]] in a battle that would later be called [[Six Fronts]]. During the battle, four orders of [[Titan (class)|Titans]] protected the newly constructed walls of the City against six enemy approaches, and not a single front faltered.<ref>'''Bungie (2014-9-9)''', ''Destiny, PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, Item Description: [[Mark of the Six Fronts]]''</ref> The Devils faced off against many Guardians who would later become legends, such as [[Lord Shaxx]], [[Saint-14]]<ref name = 'GrimOsiris'>'''Bungie (2015-5-19)''', ''Destiny: House of Wolves, PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Allies#Osiris|Osiris]]''</ref>, [[Osiris]]<ref name = 'GrimOsiris'/>, and [[Iron Lords|The Iron Lords]].<ref>'''Bungie (2015-5-19)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[House of Wolves]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Activities#Iron Banner|Iron Banner]]''</ref>

===Twilight Gap===
The [[Kell of Kings]], manipulating the other Houses, pushed for a united effort against [[The City]].<ref>'''Bungie (2014/5/19)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[House of Wolves (expansion)|House of Wolves]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Fallen_Leadership#Paskin,_King_Baron|Paskin, King Baron]]''</ref> [[Solkis, Kell of Devils]] answered their request. Uniting with Kings and Winter, they  stood together against The City, with the [[House of Wolves]] being the only major House unable to join because of [[The Reef]] stopping them on route.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/5/19)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[House of Wolves (expansion)|House of Wolves]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Fallen#Ghost_Fragment:_Fallen_3|Ghost Fragment: Fallen 3]]''</ref> The three Houses fought against The City and it's [[Guardians]] in what would later be known as the [[Battle of Twilight Gap]], with the Devils leading the charge.<ref name = 'GrimHOD'>'''Bungie (2014-9-9)''', ''[[Destiny]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Fallen#House_of_Devils|House of Devils]]''</ref> The City managed to push back the united Fallen, with [[Lord Shaxx]] leading a counter attack that defeated the united Houses.<ref>'''Bungie (2014-9-9)''', ''[[Destiny]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Allies/Tower_Allies#Crucible_Handler|Crucible Handler]]''</ref> At the end of the war, the legendary Titan Saint-14 fought against Solkis, killing him with a headbutt and bringing the Fallen offensive to a close.<ref name = 'Grim14'>'''Bungie (2016/4/15)''', ''[[Destiny]], Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Allies/Legends & Mysteries#Lengend:_Saint-14|Legend: Saint-14]]''</ref>

===Presence in the Cosmodrome===

{{quote|Sepiks Prime cast a great shadow over our City. With its destruction, the Fallen Devils will grow weaker. But we must stay vigilant. The Fallen are crafty. They'll find ways to survive. They always do.|[[Commander Zavala]]}}

Since Twilight Gap, the Devils have established a Lair in the Cosmodrome, close to The City, and been lead by [[Riksis, Devil Archon]]. While in the Cosmodrome, the Devils pillaged [[Golden Age]] technology, seeking to find something to use to their advantage.<ref name = 'GrimHOD'/> A newly risen Guardian killed Riksis while attempting to track down a missing warp drive.<ref name = 'Restoration'>'''Bungie (2014-9-9)''', ''[[Destiny]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Restoration]]''</ref> With the Devils Archon dead, this opened up the way for a [[fireteam]] of Guardians to attack the [[The Devils' Lair (location)|The Devils' Lair]] and destroy their [[Prime Servitor]], [[Sepiks Prime]]. With Sepiks' destruction, the Devils were now effectively leaderless.<ref name = 'Restoration'/>

===The Wolf Rebellion===
{{quote|The Silent Fang are assassins, killers. Real charmers. During the war, they went after our commanders. They’ll do the same to the House of Devils.|[[Petra Venj]]}}

During the [[Wolf Rebellion]], the [[House of Wolves]] were led by [[Skolas, Kell of Kells]]. The [[Silent Fang]] were dispatched by the Wolf Kell to assassinate the weakened Devil leadership to take control of the House.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/5/19)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[House of Wolves (expansion)|House of Wolves]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Activities/House_of_Wolves#Gone_to_Ground|Gone to Ground]]''</ref> A Guardian, guided by [[Variks, the Loyal]] of the [[House of Judgment]], stopped the attempted assassination and defeated the Silent Fang, saving the Devils.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/5/19)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[House of Wolves (expansion)|House of Wolves]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[The Silent Fang]]''</ref>

Also during the [[Wolf Rebellion|Wolf Wars]], Devils Baroness [[Eramis, Kell of Darkness]] would be captured and imprisoned into the [[Prison of Elders]].

===The Taken War===

{{quote|If the Devils ever gain control of Rasputin’s Warsats, we'd have Golden Age ordnance pointed at the Tower in minutes.|Grimoire description}}

During [[The Taken War]] the Devils were displaced by the Taken invasion of Earth, with their former Lair becoming overrun and many Devils being Taken.<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Cayde's Stash]]''</ref> During this time, the Devils attacked the [[Warmind]] [[Rasputin|Rasputin's]] bunker, attempting to take control of the Warmind and it's weapons. Rasputin send out a distress signal, causing a fireteam of Guardians to come to the Warminds aid. The guardians followed the Devils inside, and fought against [[S.A.B.E.R.-2]], a massive [[Shank]] re-purposed by "rising Devils Archons" to crack into Rasputin's core. S.A.B.E.R.-2 was destroyed, and the Devils were forced to retreat.<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Fallen S.A.B.E.R.]]''</ref>

===SIVA Crisis===
{{quote|Long have we wandered in the blind prison of flesh. Those old lives now a memory, transposed by another. The gift brings pain, yes, but godhood must come at a price.|[[Aksis, Archon Prime]].<ref>'''Bungie (2016-9-20)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[Rise of Iron]] PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/SIVA#Dormant_SIVA:_Fallen_3.0|Dormant SIVA: Fallen 3.0]]''</ref>}}
[[File:SplicerRise.jpg|300px|thumb|right|The Ascension of the [[Devil Splicers]]]]

Under the leadership of a new Archon, [[Aksis, Archon Prime|Aksis]], the Devils attempts to find Golden Age technology bore fruit in the form of [[SIVA]] deep in a quarantined area of the Cosmodrome called [[The Plaguelands]]. A subsect of the House, the [[Devil Splicers]], infused themselves with SIVA making themselves stronger, with Aksis himself converting completely into a machine.<ref>'''Bungie (2016-9-20)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[Rise of Iron]] PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Fallen_Leadership#Aksis,_Archon_Prime|Aksis, Archon Prime]]''</ref> This caused a rift in the House, as the techno-religious nature of the Fallen was unsure on how to react to the promises of SIVA.<ref name = 'GrimDS'>'''Bungie (2016-9-20)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[Rise of Iron]] PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Fallen#Devil_Splicers|Devil Splicers]]''</ref> In an effort to placate the opposition, the Splicer sect used SIVA to resurrect Sepiks Prime as [[Sepiks Perfected]], giving the rest of the House their Prime back, and giving them a measure of control.<ref name = 'SPerfected'>'''Bungie (2016-9-20)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[Rise of Iron]] PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Sepiks Perfected]]''</ref>

The Devils, along with Sepiks, attacked the [[Iron Temple]], attempting to steal information about SIVA to further their understanding of it. They were stopped by a Guardian and [[Lord Saladin]], the last [[Iron Lord]].<ref>'''Bungie (2016-9-20)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[Rise of Iron]] PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[King of the Mountain]]''</ref> The Guardian ventured deep into Splicer territory to the SIVA replication chamber called [[Site 6]], destroying the source of the SIVA and cutting off the Splicers from their SIVA supply.<ref>'''Bungie (2016-9-20)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[Rise of Iron]] PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[The Iron Tomb]]''</ref> Afterwards, Sepiks Perfected was tracked back to it's former lair, and was hunted down by a fireteam of Guardians. Sepiks was cornered unable to escape like it did at the Iron Temple, and was destroyed once more.<ref name = 'SPerfected'/> A fireteam of Guardians was dispatched to stop a Splicer priest named [[Kovik, Splicer Priest|Kovik]] who was experimenting on the [[Hive]] along with SIVA. The Guardians descended into his lair and killed Kovik, along with a Hive [[Ogre]] he was vivisecting.<ref>'''Bungie (2016-9-20)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[Rise of Iron]] PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[The Wretched Eye]]''</ref> Afterward, another fireteam stopped a Splicer attempt to keep Kovik's experiments alive by invading the [[Hellmouth]] and capture more Ogres to experiment on.<ref>'''Bungie (2016-9-20)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[Rise of Iron]] PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[The Abomination Heist]]''</ref> 

With the Splicers backed into a corner, a [[Raid|larger fireteam]] attacked the Splicers lair directly. There they encountered [[Vosik, the Archpriest]], second in command of the Splicer sect. They hunted him deep into the wall the Splicers had dug into and destroyed him. The guardians continued to explore the Splicer lair and discovered the Devils had found a facility not unlike Site-6 and found Aksis, the Archon Prime of the Devils. Using SIVA against him, they managed to destroy Aksis, once again rendering the Devils leaderless.<ref>'''Bungie (2016-9-20)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[Rise of Iron]] PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Wrath of the Machine]]''</ref> But with the Archon Prime's death, the Devil Splicers would try to find new leadership, under the form of [[Taniks, the Scarred]], by allying with the deceased mercenary's [[Taniks' Crew|crew]] to resurrect Taniks, with SIVA; although his mind was clouded by SIVA, his ruthlessness and leadership remain, helping the Splicers with leadership vacuum. But [[Variks, The Loyal]] would uncover Taniks' rebirth, and gave the coordinates to the Vanguard. Leading to the demise of "[[Taniks Perfected]]", leaving the Devil Splicers broken once. <ref>'''Bungie (2016-9-20)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[Rise of Iron]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[The Shadow Thief: Revisited]]''</ref>

Following their crushing defeat at the hands of the Guardians once more, the Devils committed one last act against the City that would become the last time the Devils ever assualted the Walls until [[Zero Hour]]. [[Iliksis, Light Stalker]], a large Captain of the House of Devils, amassed a large Devil group to assualt bannerfall in the hopes of breaching the City's wall once again. The group's two bombs would be defused, its fallen killed, and its leader vanquished by the Guardian - thus ending the Devil's raids and even further weakening the house. In the aftermath of the [[SIVA Crisis]], all Fallen pulled out of the Cosmodrome.<ref name="Six">'''Bungie (2017/4/20)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[Age of Triumph]], Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Allies/Legends & Mysteries#Ghost Fragment: Fallen 6|Ghost Fragment: Fallen 6]]''</ref>

===Withdrawal and Unification===
[[File:SalvationEramis8.jpg|thumb|300px|Ex-Baroness, Eramis]]
Eventually the Fallen House of Devils withdrew completely from the Cosmodrome, leaving behind piles of ceremonially burnt banners and armor. The other Fallen Houses—Winter, Exile, Wolves—appear to have done the same, withdrawing en masse everywhere and abandoning their former territories. Out of sheer desperation, the majority of the Fallen eventually united under a new banner of the [[House of Dusk]].

After the [[Scorn]]'s massive breakout at the [[Prison of Elders]], former Devil Baroness [[Eramis, the Shipstealer]] escaped and is actively rallying the remaining Fallen traditionalists into reforming the House of Devils.<ref name="Outliers">'''Bungie (2019/3/5)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Joker's Wild]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Lore]]: [[Lore:Stolen_Intelligence#Outliers|Outliers]]''</ref> After seven months, Eramis gathered a force large enough to attempt a heist on the City to steal an old [[Outbreak Prime|SIVA-infused weapon]] stored in the Cryptarch vaults of the Old Tower, possibly for the remnants of [[SIVA]] within. The Devils manage to grab the weapon, but are intercepted and killed by [[Mithrax, the Forsaken]] and the Guardian before they could escape.

Following the failure to capture SIVA, Eramis would abandon the Devils banner and built a new [[House of Salvation|unified empire]] from the old Fallen houses in [[Europa]]. After being shunned by the Traveler and excluded from its Light, Eramis has decided to embrace the [[Darkness]] by proclaiming herself as “Kell of Darkness”.<ref>'''Bungie (2020/06/09)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [https://www.ishtar-collective.net/entries/rimed-shell Rimed Shell]''</ref><ref>'''Bungie (2020/10/20)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [https://youtu.be/k6c6M0rKW7s Beyond Light Story trailer]''</ref>

==Structure==
[[File:Aksis_2.png|right|300px|thumb|Archon Prime, Aksis]]

The House of Devils have undergone dramatic changes in leadership over the years they have spent in the Sol System. After the death of Solkis at the hands of Saint-14, the Devils did not gain a new Kell in over one hundred years, with Riksis and Sepiks acting as their sole leadership.<ref name = 'Grim14'/><ref>'''Bungie (2014-9-9)''', ''[[Destiny]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Fallen_Leadership#Sepiks_Prime|Sepiks Prime]]''</ref> Why they did not replace him is unknown, but the Devils being a more religiously driven House compared to the others may have allowed the religious leadership to keep the House together.<ref name = 'GrimDS'/><ref name = 'SPerfected'/> The death of Riksis and destruction of Sepiks Prime did not break the House, showing a level of uniformity that other Houses do not display.<ref>'''Bungie (2015-9-15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]] PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[The Wolves of Mars]]''</ref>
