Prior to arriving in the Solar System, the House of Wolves, then called 'Mraskilaasan', was one of many Fallen Houses struggling to survive in the wake of a cataclysmic event known as The [[Whirlwind]].

Having been nearly wiped out by the deaths of their leaders and lieutenants from subsequent [[Guardian]] hunts, the House of Wolves were driven to the brink. They met their end when the terrifying [[Scorn]] [[Baron]] known as [[Reksis Vahn, the Hangman]] subsequently hunted down and destroyed their last remaining Servitors, dooming and wiping the formerly great House of Wolves off the map once and for all.

The Wolves appear to have a more complex structure than compared the other houses. While they retain the typical leadership of a Kell, an [[Archon]], and a [[Prime Servitor]] (though the latter two are dead or missing) followed by [[Baron]]s and other nobility, the Wolves have several additional posts and groups with special functions within the House.

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 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.

"The Wolves are getting closer, she is a fool for thinking she can control them."
— The Speaker[1]

The House of Wolves was a Fallen House, distinguishable by their blue armor and tattered dark gray cloaks. Additionally, they were the subject of an expansion of the same name.[2]

Following the Red War and the formation of the House of Dusk, the House's Servitors were destroyed by Reksis Vahn, and the remaining Wolves have since defected to other Houses, such as the House of Dusk and the House of Salvation.[3]

History[edit]

Pre-Reef Wars[edit]

Wolves seen in the House of Wolves cinematic

"I am Lord of Wolves. You are an empty thing with two dead souls. This is my House. These are my terms. Surrender and I will only take your ships."
— Virixas, Kell of Wolves to Queen Mara Sov

Prior to arriving in the Solar System, the House of Wolves, then called 'Mraskilaasan', or "Gentle Weavers" [4], was one of many Fallen Houses struggling to survive in the wake of a cataclysmic event known as The Whirlwind. In the aftermath of the fall, the Wolves were said to have warred with the House of Kings.[5] Years later, after arriving in the Sol system, the Wolves were living out by the Jovians. During this time their Prime Servitor Kaliks Prime went missing; [6] Fikrul, the Fanatic once a well-regarded Archon Priest of Kaliks, was cast out after speaking against the Great Machine and lamenting his species' dependence on Servitors for survival.

As part of a united Fallen effort, the Wolves intended to join the Battle of Twilight Gap alongside the other Houses, but were stopped at their stronghold of Ceres when the Reef intervened. Their Kell, Virixas was killed in the initial clash, along with a massive portion of the house, which would later be named The Scatter.[7] This marked the start of a power struggle between three members of the Wolves' nobility: Irxis, Wolf Baroness; Parixas, the Howling; and Skolas, the Rabid.[8]

The Reef Wars[edit]

Queenbreaker Wolves alongside Mara Sov and Uldren

"Captains and Barons signal their readiness, Skolas and Pirsis and Irxis, Drevis, Peekis, Parixas, all of them bound by fear and loyalty, all ready for war."
— Ghost Fragment: Fallen 4[9]

The Reef Wars were a series of long battles between the Wolves and The Reef. During the course of the wars, Skolas rose to Kellship, beating out his competitors.[10] He then turned his full attention towards The Reef, and the two forces clashed for many years. The wars ended when Variks, a member of the House of Judgment who lived among the Wolves, betrayed Skolas to the Reef, resulting in his capture along with most of his House.[11] Variks went on to crown The Queen of The Reef as the new Kell, with many Wolves bending the knee to her.[12]

The Wolf Rebellion[edit]

The rise of Skolas, Kell of Kells

"Listen to me, Wolf-born! Heed me, Whirlwind-scattered! I am the ghost of Cybele, the cunning claw of Iris, betrayed, chained, encrypted by the Queen, sent back from the Darkness to save us all! The days of Kell and House end now. The calendar of slavery and abasement goes to the fire. We are a new calendar! We are an age of beginnings! Each of us is a day!"
— Skolas, Kell of Kells

Initiated by the return of Skolas, now calling himself the "Kell of Kells", the House of Wolves rebelled against the Awoken.[13] The Wolf Rebellion started with an assassination attempt on The Queen and a mass prison break from the Prison of Elders where most of the former Wolf nobility was being held.[14]The Queen opened the Reef to Guardians of the City, with the intent of recruiting them to put an end to the rebellion.[15] The Guardians tracked Skolas across the system, eventually capturing him on Venus, attempting to wield stolen Vex tech in order to pull the House of Wolves through time.[16] On the order of the Queen, Skolas was sent to the Prison of Elders, where he was pitted against the same Guardians who captured him and was executed, effectively ended the Wolf Rebellion.[17]

The Taken War[edit]

The return of Keldar, Archon Priest

"Was looking, searching for new Wolf Kell. Could not find one. Could not understand House Wolves tactics... bad tactics. Fight Cabal? (laughs) Could not find new Kell because there is no Kell. House Wolves follows a new god, a Servitor, a Prime. This is a pilgrimage, Guardian. And for faith, they will stop at nothing."
— Variks, the Loyal[18]

After Skolas' defeat, the Wolves began regrouping on Mars, hoping to carve out a new den on a planet of their own. The Wolves emerged from hiding, rallying under Keldar, Archon Priest who had escaped the Reef Wars and Skolas' Rebellion. Keldar offered the Wolves, a new god to worship, the rebuilt Orbiks Prime; the Wolves' previous god, to lead their scattered House in the absence of a new Kell. In the wake of losses suffered during The Taken War, the Cabal were unable to stop the Wolves from entrenching themselves in their own fortifications; the Blind Legion's former base was captured for use as Orbiks Prime's lair.[19] Orbiks Prime attempted to reassemble the House on Mars, however, thanks to intel provided by Variks, the Guardians hunted down Keldar and Orbiks. Destroying the Prime and their escaping Archon, the Guardians left the Wolves broken and leaderless once more. This in turn lead Variks to believe that the House of Wolves had been broken once and for all.[18]

Remnants of Wolves[edit]

Silent Fang members working with the House of Dusk

"Fallen comms, still trying to reach their brothers and sisters. Some of these headers are still marked with House sigils. House of Devils, House of Wolves…"
— Ghost

Having been nearly wiped out by the deaths of their leaders and lieutenants from subsequent Guardian hunts, the House of Wolves were driven to the brink. The terrifying Scorn Baron known as Reksis Vahn, the Hangman subsequently hunted down and destroyed their last remaining Servitors, dooming the former great House through removal of its vital Ether supply.[20]

With the demise of their Servitors, former Wolf members assimilated into the House of Dusk, including Skriviks, the Sharp-Eyed, The Silent Fang, Queenbreakers, Pallas Siegebreakers and those affiliated with Beltrik and Irxis. During the Prison of Elder's breakout, one Vandal still wearing the colors of the House of Wolves saluted Variks, the Loyal for releasing all the inmates.[21]

Upon discovering that Mara Sov is still alive, Yevik; a former Wolf now working with the House of Dusk, began plotting a return to his former Wolf Kell who he is still loyal to.[22]

Former Wolves also joined Eramis's cause, forming the House of Salvation, hoping to ensure the Darkness Kell's dream to destroy the Traveler for abandoning her people.[3][23]

Structure[edit]

House Wolves Old Prime, Orbiks Prime

"Fallen Houses must hunt, prowl, scavenge, defend. House Devils has Earth. House Winter has Venus. And now Wolves claim Mars. Cabal will not be pleased."
— Variks, the Loyal

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 Barons and other nobility, the Wolves have several additional posts and groups with special functions within the House.

Kells are served by Wolves' Guards, Captains who are selected from an early age and brainwashed to be completely subservient to the Kell.[24] The Kell also has the Silent Fang at their command, an elite group of assassins lead by Drevis, Wolf Baroness and used to eliminate potential rivals and threats.[25] To keep the rank-and-file in line, fanatical Wolf Enforcers ensure that the remaining Fallen of the House maintain their loyalty. Several other informal groups serve the Kell, such as the Howling Raiders[26], the Twisted Claw[27], and the Queenbreakers [28].
