The '''House of Wolves''', known to the pre-[[Whirlwind]] Eliksni as the '''House of Gentle Weavers''', was a [[Fallen]] House, distinguishable by their blue armor and tattered dark gray cloaks. Additionally, they were the subject of an [[House_of_Wolves (expansion)|expansion]] of the same name.

Following the [[Red War]] and the formation of the [[House of Dusk]], the House's [[Servitors]] were destroyed by [[Reksis Vahn, the Hangman|Reksis Vahn]], and the remaining Wolves have since defected to other Houses, such as the House of Dusk and the [[House of Salvation]].<ref name="RS">'''Bungie (2020/6/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of Arrivals]] - Item Description: [[Rimed Shell#Lore|Rimed Shell]]''</ref>

The Wolves appear to have a more complex hierarchical structure compared to other houses. While they retain the typical leadership of a Kell, an [[Archon]], and a [[Prime Servitor]] followed by [[Baron]]s and other nobility, the Wolves have several additional posts and groups with special functions within the House.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*Despite [[Aksor, Archon Priest]] being the [[Archon]] of the Wolves, his robes and banners indicate that he belongs to the [[House of Kings]].
*The House of Wolves is the second Fallen House Guardians have seen go extinct. The first being the House of Winter.
**It's possible that his color scheme may symbolizes [[Kaliks Prime]], as the [[Archon Servant]]s and [[Kaliks Reborn]] has the same color scheme as Aksor.
*The House of Wolves are the second House to have one of their [[Prime Servitor]]s go missing. The first being the House of Winter.
**They are also the first known Fallen House in history to have more than one [[Servitor]] line, as they have the [[Kaliks-12|Kaliks]] line of Servitors and the [[Mecher Orbiks-11|Orbiks]] line. The second House currently to have more than one is the [[House of Dusk]], but it has far more lines than any other House. This is possibly due to them taking the Wolves' practice of having more Servitors. Later, [[House of Salvation]] would be the third house to adopt this custom, carrying three lines of Servitors.
*The House of Wolves are the first house to be led by a different species. The second being the [[Scorn]].
**They are also the first House to be led by an [[Awoken]], second, again, being the [[Scorn]].
*The House of Wolves has a unique style for its members. Their [[Captain]]s' and [[Vandal]]s' armor is the same color as their banner, differing from the other Houses. Instead, they have their armor colors, in either a tan, silver or white color, and have their bodysuits, the color of their House Banner. The Wolves, also have a fur-like scarf attached to their capes, differing from other Houses who wear normal scarves.
*The House of Wolves potentially got their name after the Long Drift during their exploration of Sol because Wolves only exist on Earth.
