The '''Wolf Rebellion''' was a two phaseconflict between the [[Guardians]] of the [[Last City]], their new [[Awoken]] allies in the [[Reef]] and the [[Fallen]] [[House of Wolves]] who broke free from the Queen. Originally the Wolves were vassals to [[Mara Sov]] when she captured their [[Kell]], [[Skolas]], imprisoned their nobility and forced the remainder of their numbers into swearing allegiance in the aftermath of the [[Reef Wars]]. However, after the Queen sent Skolas to the [[Nine]] as a gift to placate them for sending the [[Crow (title)|Crow]]s into their territory, one of their agents released him and returned him to lead his House. The war can be divided into two phases, Skolas' return and the return of Orbiks Prime. | |||
Skolas' return would mark the high point of warfare during the rebellion. Beginning with an uprising in the Reef to free his House, Skolas revealed he had far greater ambitions than just revenge on the Reef that imprisoned him but to make himself the ruler over all Fallen Houses and claim the [[Traveler]] from the Last City. In response, Mara Sov opened her realm to the Guardians to aid her in hunting down the Wolves. | Skolas' return would mark the high point of warfare during the rebellion.

After the death of Skolas it was hoped that the Wolves were broken, never to rise again. This would not be the case as a new army of Wolves regrouped in the dunes of [[Meridian Bay]], intent on making Mars their home. Led by the rebuilt [[Orbiks Prime]], the Wolves were able to seize numerous Cabal strongholds weakened by the [[Taken War]]. But these gains were swiftly reversed by Guardian intervention and in the end, ether stained sand was all that was left of the once mighty House of Wolves. | After the death of Skolas it was hoped that the Wolves were broken, never to rise again.

The | The prelude to the Wolf Rebellion began during the [[Battle of the Twilight Gap]]. All Fallen Houses banded together to seize control of the Traveler for themselves. The Devils, Winter and King houses met the Guardians in a fierce battle at the Twilight gap. The House of Wolves originally intended to join them and they could've turned the tide to the Fallen's favor but Queen Mara Sov intervened. Whether to save potential allies or for some other unknown reason, Mara Sov launched a surprise attack on the Wolves that claimed the lives of half their numbers and even their Kell, [[Virixas]]. Soon began a long and bloody conflict, the [[Reef Wars]].<ref>'''Bungie (2015-5-19)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[House of Wolves]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Fallen_Hunted#Wanted:_Skolas,_Kell_of_Kells|Wanted: Skolas, Kell of Kells]]''</ref> | ||

=== Last Stand === | |||
{{Quote|He just said, "I stole the gift of Freedom. Secrets of time and space. House of Wolves will stand forever."|Variks.<ref name="Rising"/>}} | |||
Furious at the Reef's and Last City's interventions, Skolas desperately sought a means to defeat his enemies and force the other houses into recognizing him as the prophesied Kell. Skolas then had his [[splicers]] breach the [[Vex]] [[Vault of Glass]] to gain the weapons he desires. Fortunately, the Guardians once again intervened before they could gain any significant Vex technology, such as the [[Oracle]]s.<ref>'''Bungie (2015-5-19)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[House of Wolves]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Wolves' Gambit]]''</ref> | |||
With his enemies cornering him, Skolas sets up a final stand at the top of the Vex [[Citadel]]. The Guardians battle against the mad Kell who began to use Vex [[Warp Gate]]s into bringing his house from across time to defeat the Guardians. Despite his efforts, the Guardians defeated Skolas into submission as they received orders from the Queen to capture Skolas alive.<ref>'''Bungie (2015-5-19)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[House of Wolves]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Queen's Ransom]]''</ref> The Queen then sent Skolas back to the [[Prison of Elders]], where he would soon meet his end, effectively bringing an end to the Wolf Rebellion.<ref>'''Bungie (2015-5-19)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[House of Wolves]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Activities/House_of_Wolves#Queen's_Ransom|Queen's Ransom]]''</ref> | |||
=== Aftermath === | |||
For their contributions in the Rebellion, the Guardians earned their rewards, strengthened Reef-City relations and the House of Wolves was left leaderless, homeless and broken. The remainder of the Wolves then traveled to [[Mars]] to eke out a living, despite the heavy [[Cabal]] presence.<ref>'''Bungie (2015-9-15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[A New Den]]''</ref> | |||
The other Fallen Houses also suffered from the rebellion; the Winters was once again leaderless, the Devils remained in hiding (though some of their remaining leaders were ironically saved thanks to the Guardians) and the House of Kings lost some of their Barons but remained a threat to the Last City.<ref>'''Bungie (2015-5-19)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[House of Wolves]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Fallen_Leadership#SKolas:_Defeated|Skolas: Defeated]]''</ref> | |||
The House of Exile was the only House that didn't participate in the Rebellion because they refused to follow Skolas, since they do not follow a Kell, [[Archon]] or a Prime Servitor.<ref>'''Bungie (2015-5-19)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[House of Wolves]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Activities/House_of_Wolves#The_Kell_of_Kells|The Kell of Kells]]''</ref> | |||
In addition, the Queen ordered her Prison to be cleared of some its most dangerous occupants with the Guardians being offered the task in exchanged for more rewards. Variks oversaw their efforts and the prisoners executions.<ref>'''Bungie (2015-5-19)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[House of Wolves]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Activities/House_of_Wolves#Prison_of_Elders|Prison of Elders]]''</ref> | |||
==Overview: Phase Two== | |||
===The Taken War=== | |||
{{Main|Taken War}} | |||
The arrival of [[Oryx]] and his [[Taken]] sent shock waves throughout the Solar System and every faction was affected, including the Fallen. Most Fallen in the system became Taken, forced into Oryx's service and made to fight their fellow Eliksni, as well as the Guardians. During the course of the war, most Fallen abandoned their holdouts and tried to escape the Taken King. | |||
The other factions too were affected negatively, the [[Cabal]] especially, as each of the Legions lost a substantial amount of their troops and most of their leaders were killed. This presented an sense of opportunity for some other factions. | |||
===Orbiks Reborn=== | |||
One Fallen house sought to take advantage of the war, the House of Wolves under the new leadership of [[Keldar]]. An Archon Priest, Keldar had escaped both the Reef War and Skolas' Rebellion, refusing to bow to either the Queen or the so called Kell of Kell's. Keldar chose a different path and put his vast knowledge and technical skill to use in rebuilding the Wolves' previous Prime Servitor, [[Orbiks Prime]] (the Orbiks line of Servitors had previously been usurped by the Kaliks line). With a newly built God at his side, Keldar's authority over his house was swiftly ensured. | |||
Marshaling what remained of the Wolves, Orbiks and Keldar lead raids against the Cabal. Thanks to the disorganization caused by the war, the Cabal were unable to respond accordingly and lost some of their underground bunkers to the Wolves. | |||
The Wolves reemergence caught the notice of the Reef Awoken and they called in the Guardians to aid them. Under Variks guidance, the Guardians were able to draw Keldar out of hiding and kill him, depriving the Wolves of an Archon. Finally, the Guardians infiltrated the Cabal strongholds the Wolves stole and encountered the reconstructed Prime Servitor. Despite its power and its zealous servants, the Guardians destroyed Orbiks, ridding the Wolves of leadership once more. | |||
The aftermath of the Wolves | ===Aftermath=== | ||
The aftermath of the Wolves reemergence led to another defeat for the House of Wolves. The Guardians destroyed whatever leadership and strength the Wolves might have had left and were now humiliated and broken. Once a great and feared House, the Wolves were brought low for good. | |||
