Winter staged an assault on The Archive, attempting to plunder Golden Age secrets from the Ishtar Facility. The attack was lead by [[Grayliks, Winter Baron]] and further supported by [[Simiks-3]], a Winter [[Servitor]] of significance.<ref name= "Simiks-3"/> The raid was thwarted by [[Guardian|Guardians]] however, who destroyed Simiks-3 and killed Grayliks, securing The Archive for The City.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[The Archive]]''</ref> Sometime thereafter, the [[Vanguard]] received word that [[Wintership Simiks-Fel]] was on the surface of Venus and began a mission to assassinate Draksis.

[[Variks, The Loyal]] at some point was in negotiations with [[Grayris, Baroness]] to leave her house, however she would succumb to Oryx's Taken. During the [[Taken War]] the House of Winter managed to take advantage of the Reef's disorganization to break into the Prison of Elders and retrieve another Archon Priest. However the [[Taken]] on Venus attacked and scattered their forces, Taking the Archon in the process, turning him into [[Nixis, Hunger of Oryx]].
