During the [[Wolf Rebellion]] of [[Skolas, Kell of Kells|Skolas]], the House of Wolves approached the Kings with an offer to join them.

For many years the House of Kings maintained influence over the techno-religious leadership of the House of Devils and controlled the [[Archon's Forge]] until a newer, more ambitious sect, the [[Devil Splicers|Devil]] [[Splicers]], assumed control over the Forge. This gave rise to three new [[Archons|Devil Archons]] and allowed the Splicers to burrow into connecting area of [[Site-6]], later infusing themselves with [[SIVA]].

The alliance between Uldren and the Kings led him to become a traitor to the [[Awoken]], working alongside the Fallen to kill, steal, and bring more destruction to the [[Reef]]. During this period, Uldren met a dying [[Fikrul, the Fanatic|Fikrul]] and managed to save the [[Archon]] by corrupting Fikrul's Ether with darkness. As time went on, Uldren found a kindred spirit in Fikrul, and they bonded through their shared dislike for their peoples' fates, and desired to see evolution through extinction. Meanwhile Craask wished to continue the old ways, relying on Servitors and machines.

With the aid of Fikrul, Uldren betrayed the Kings, slaughtering many of its members in the resulting conflict. After Uldren and Fikrul assumed control, Craask, the last Kell of Kings, was docked and demoted to the status of a [[Dreg]]. Uldren decided the Kings were too bothersome for his ambitions and gutted the House. The deceased House of Kings were then raised from the dead by Fikrul as a new army willing to serve them without question, they would later be called the [[Scorn]].

However, following Uldren's betrayal, Craask's death and the Scorn's rise to power, the House of Kings is left horribly weakened and borderline broken. Without their Kell and the Scorn raising their dead as new members, the once powerful House of Kings is forced to hide for survival.
