He kneels in defeat as Queen Mara ordered [[Petra Venj]] to capture the beaten Kell aboard her [[Ceres Galliott|Reef Galliot]] jumpship and to be brought back to the Prison of Elders.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/5/19)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[House of Wolves (expansion)|House of Wolves]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Queen's Ransom]]''</ref> | ||

However as the Queen examined him, Skolas whispered something that Variks interpreted as "Light-Snuffer" and "Dark-binder", leading Queen Mara to believe that [[Oryx, the Taken King|a dark force]] was encroaching upon the [[Solar system]],<ref>'''Bungie (2014/5/19)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[House of Wolves (expansion)|House of Wolves]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Activities/House_of_Wolves#Queen.27s_Ransom|Queen's Ransom]]''</ref> and sends for [[Osiris|her]] [[Eris Morn|associates]]. | ||
Leaving the fate of the disgraced Kell to [[Variks]] who slated for execution, Skolas gathered what followers he had left in the prison and instigated a massive riot. Challenging the Guardians that captured him one last time, Skolas met his end as he was executed with [[Light]] and gunfire; and had left his House without their Kell.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/5/19)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[House of Wolves (expansion)|House of Wolves]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Skolas's Revenge]]''</ref> | |||
