'''Sepiks Prime''' is the [[Prime Servitor]] for the [[House of Devils]] and served by [[Riksis, Devil Archon]].<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lwK9qbLFlGQ '''YouTube''' - ''TTL Plays! Destiny Alpha: The Devil's Lair'']</ref>

In the [[Rise of Iron]] expansion, Sepiks returns as '''Sepiks Perfected''' enhanced by [[SIVA]] technology by the [[Devil Splicers]]. It serves as the main boss of remastered version of the Devils Lair strike.

===Early History===

Following the death of [[Solkis, Devil Kell]], the [[House of Devils]] established a stronghold within the Cosmodrome of Russia. Absent of their Kell and political leader, the Devils Prime Servitor, Sepiks, gained prominence within the House and ruled the Devils alongside [[Riksis, Devil Archon]]; who served it as a caretaker and arbiter of its will.<ref name="Riksis">'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, Grimoire: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Fallen Leadership#Riksis, Devil Archon|Riksis, Devil Archon]]''</ref> The lack of political leadership also allowed [[Craask, Kell of Kings]] to exert his influence among the techno-worshiping leadership of the Devils and rule them from the shadows.<ref>'''Bungie (2015/5/19)''', ''[[Destiny]]: PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, Grimoire: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Fallen_Leadership#Paskin.2C_King_Baron|Paskin, King Baron]]''</ref>

At some point, Sepiks authority was challenged when the [[Devil Splicers]], a group of revered scientists, splintered away from their House as they sought freedom from subsistence on [[Ether]] and evolution by augmenting themselves with technology.<ref>'''Bungie (2016/9/20)''', ''[[Destiny]]: PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, Grimoire: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Fallen#Devil_Splicers|Devil Splicers]]''</ref> Among them was the former disgraced [[Archon Priest]], [[Aksis]] who led the Splicers.<ref>'''Bungie (2016/9/20)''', ''[[Destiny]]: PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, Grimoire: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Fallen_Leadership#Aksis,_Archon_Prime|Aksis, Archon Prime]]''</ref>

The majority of the Devils took residence near an old colony ship, named [[Devil's Spire]], and established [[The Devils' Lair]] as a mecca for the zealous worshippers to offer tribute to their machine god in the form of skulls from dead [[Guardians]].<ref name="Riksis"/><ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [https://www.ishtar-collective.net/transcripts/ghost-scan-devils-bones Ceremonial Ritual]''</ref> Like many other [[Servitor]]s, Sepiks Prime was born in the image of the [[Traveler]] and the Devils went to great lengths to protect their main source of life sustaining [[Ether]].<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, Grimoire: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Fallen Leadership#Sepiks Prime|Sepiks Prime]]''</ref><ref>'''Gameinformer (2018/7/5)''', [https://www.gameinformer.com/2018/07/05/these-are-the-eight-barons-who-helped-kill-cayde-6-in-destiny-2-forsaken The Eight Barons who killed Cayde-6]</ref> The Prime Servitor also spawned its own line of Sepiks High Servitors, most notably [[Sepiks-23]].

For years the whereabouts of Sepiks remained elusive, but rumours hinted towards the [[Cosmodrome]]. The Devils dominance was uncontested for centuries until a newly risen [[Guardian]] challenged them and slew their Archon, Riksis. This was celebrated as the first major victory against the Devils since [[Battle of Twilight Gap]] and the Devils became vulnerable and heightened their security for Sepiks.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Restoration]]''</ref><ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire:Activities/Story: Earth, Old Russia#Restoration|Grimoire Restoration]]''</ref> They rallied their Fallen nobility such as [[Naksis, Devil Baron]] and deployed a [[Noble Devil Walker]] to deter anyone from attacking Sepiks.  

The Vanguard Commander [[Zavala]] located the High Servitor's position underneath a colony ship and coordinated a [[Strike]] against Sepiks.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[The Devils' Lair (strike)#Transcript|Devil's Lair Strike]]''</ref> Upon arrival the Guardians enter a crossfire between the Ascendent [[Hive]] and Noble and Reaver ranking Devils. They disable the Devils security mesh layers, dispose their [[Baron]] and [[Walker]] to reach the Devil's Lair.  

The nearby Devils generate a immunity shield to protect Sepiks, only to be dismantled the Guardians. Sepiks enters into battle and continuously blasts them with its Servitor Eye. The Prime Servitor summons more noble reinforcements to fend off the Guardians and teleports around the lair. Despite its tactical abilities, Sepiks is destroyed by the Guardians which cripples the Devils leadership and ends the biggest threat to the [[Last City]].

In the aftermath, the Devils attempt to replace Riksis with a Rising Archon named [[Karrhis, Archon Rising|Karrhis]] in hopes of reviving Sepiks, but is also slew. Later, the Guardian sought to acquire a stealth drive hidden in the Devil's Spire and stumble upon the destroyed haul of Sepiks in the Devils' lair.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [https://www.ishtar-collective.net/transcripts/ghost-scan-sepiks-prime Sepiks Ghost Scan]''</ref>

[[File:SinkentoSepiks1.gif|thumb|right|300px|Sepiks Perfected retreats]]

Following the demise of the Devils leadership, the outcast [[Devil Splicers]] returned to reorganise their House and shifted massive resources to the [[Plaguelands]] after they discovered the [[Golden Age]] technology of [[SIVA]].<ref>'''Bungie (2016/9/20)''', ''[[Destiny]]: PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [https://youtu.be/mcywb8QTl5I Rise of Iron Opening]''</ref> The former Devils Archon, [[Aksis, Archon Prime]], ordered his group of bio-engineers to rebuild their old Prime and augment it with SIVA. The Splicers leadership sought to use Sepiks revival as a power play to recruit other Devils to join their movement by bringing SIVA offerings and gain complete influence over the House of Devils by controlling the flow of [[Ether]]. Sepiks was reborn and christened '''Sepiks Perfected'''.<ref>'''Bungie (2016/9/20)''', ''[[Destiny]]: PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, Grimoire: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Fallen_Leadership#Sepiks Perfected|Sepiks Perfected]]''</ref>

Later, a group of Devils captured [[Felwinter Peak]] and [[Lord Saladin]] sent the Guardians to investigate observatory and secure the [[Iron Temple]] as it contained secrets of SIVA. To the great shock of [[Ghost]], they encounter Sepiks who tried to establish a foothold on the mountain. It emitted a strange energy signature and began regenerating. Lord Saladin quickly ordered them to kill Sepiks as he believed the Iron Temple doors weren’t strong enough to hold the Prime back.<ref name="Mountain">'''Bungie (2016/9/20)''', ''[[Destiny]]: PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [https://www.ishtar-collective.net/transcripts/king-of-the-mountain King of the Mountain]''</ref>

Sepiks is later found assaulting the Temple's entrance with SIVA enhanced blasts and protected by a SIVA immunity shield. After spotting the Guardians, it teleports to engage them and summons normal Devil reinforcements. The Guardians use the high ground against Sepiks and destroy the [[Servitor]], however, due to its regenerative abilities Sepiks reappears and retreats. [[Shiro-4]] then detects multiple impacts to the Sector 17 section of the [[Cosmodrome]] wall and Saladin orders the Guardians to stop Sepiks from escaping as the Devils now know the location of SIVA.<ref name="Mountain"/>

With the Fallen [[Kell]]s gone, reorganising a military force was deemed almost impossible until the reemergence of Sepiks. Shiro wonders if they could use the sensor grid to see how far their operations stretched, but Saladin replies that the [[Fallen]] are irrelevant and finding Sepiks is a priority to understand the SIVA corruption.<ref>'''Bungie (2016/9/20)''', ''[[Destiny]]: PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [https://www.ishtar-collective.net/transcripts/the-walls-come-down The Walls Come Down]''</ref>

A [[The Devils' Lair (strike)|Strike]] is coordinated by Shiro to the breach past their defences and destroy the resurrected Prime Servitor holed up in the Devils Lair. The Splicers employ a laser grid with added encryption and deploy [[Dresiks, Splicer Baron]] and [[Splicer Walker]] against the Guardians.

They then reach the lair and find Sepiks protected by a SIVA immunity shield which can only be dismantled by destroying the nearby [[SIVA Node]]s. Sepiks enters battle with Splicer reinforcements and blasts them with its upgraded SIVA Servitor Eye blasts. Throughout the battle, Sepiks teleports to generate different elemental Shields that require the use of [[Shock Cannon|Shock]], [[Scorch Cannon|Scorch]] and [[Null Cannon]] to disengage it. Despite its new tactical abilities, Sepiks was unable to fend off the assault and finally destroyed for good.<ref>'''Bungie (2016/9/20)''', ''[[Destiny]]: PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [https://youtu.be/Xrqy4xPbqt0 Sepiks Perfected Strike]''</ref>

Sepiks Prime is at first invulnerable but immobile; it will drop its shield and start attacking once all Fallen in the area have been killed. It then attacks in a manner similar to a normal [[Servitor]], firing Void Blasts periodically while teleporting to fixed positions around the area. It may prove to be a hard-to-reach target when at high elevations. If a [[Guardian]] is in close enough proximity, Sepiks will continuously wield a deadly health-draining ability called "Servitor Attack" until the Guardian is dead or moves out of range. Sepiks Prime's weak spot is its eye.<ref>'''Bungie (2014-6-12)''', ''Destiny: Alpha PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard.''</ref> Killing Sepiks is a [[Vanguard]] [[bounty]].<ref name = "Companion">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJsIY7RrVuY '''Youtube''': ''Destiny Companion App Walkthrough'']</ref>

Sepiks Perfected makes its last stand at [[The Devils' Lair (strike)|The Devils' Lair]] [[Strike]]. It will have all the aforementioned abilities and will behave like [[Sepiks Prime|its predecessor]], but this time around, it has new capabilities. For one, it plants down [[SIVA Node]]s for area denial, some of which cannot be destroyed; if near one of these, you will be inflicted with the "SIVA Swarm" debuff. It will also be significantly more durable than before purely in terms of health count. However, the main mechanic is an elemental shield that can only be taken down using heavy artillery cannons dropped by certain [[Splicer Captain]]s: [[Shock Captain]]s for [[Arc]], [[Splicer Scorch Captain]]s for [[Solar]], and [[Null Captain]]s for [[Void]], in that particular order. It will bring up these shields one after another when the previous one goes down. Beware that each cannon only has one round that can be fired. Once all three shields are brought down, it will become permanently vulnerable, allowing Guardians to unleash all their attacks on it, finally laying waste to Sepiks Perfected for good.

*Sepiks Prime is the first [[Prime Servitor]] to encountered in [[Destiny]].

*The original soundtrack Sepiks Redux was originally a cover composed by Youtuber Bulb. It was so well received by Bungie that they decided to include that rendition as the soundtrack for Sepiks Perfected.
