===House of Dusk===
=== The Violet Vandal===
Prior to the release of ''[[Destiny 2]]'', the Old Houses including the House of Devils, abandoned their old loyalties and formed a new House for the sake of survival. As the [[Red Legion]] invaded the [[Last City]] and began the [[Red War]], the newly formed [[House of Dusk]] also emerged from the shadows and quickly spread themselves across the [[Solar System]].
 
They established a stronghold on the [[European Dead Zone]] and clashed with the Red Legion over territory. The [[Sunken Isles]] was a major military beachhead for the [[Cabal]] and only the bravest of [[Fallen]] ventured into their territory to face them head on. An island near the [[Echion Vae]] featured one Reaver Vandal who along with his trusted Shank started killing many unsuspecting Cabal with his [[Wire Rifle]]. The Vandal also guarded a regional chest nearby and killed many players who attempted to collect its loot or partake in the Public Event near him. As players retaliated against the Vandal, they soon found trouble defeating him as he was incredibly durable. Randal the Vandal had returned with the House of Dusk. Draped in the silver and purple colours of [[Saint-14]], the greatest Fallen warrior sought to claim the territory from the Cabal with his presence alone.
 
Bungie had yet again paid homage to the original Randal. News of his reemergence quickly spread as many articles documented the Easter egg. In some instances Randal would spawn a with [[Shock Rifle]] and his gameplay became more evasive and proved to be tougher to defeat. Many players used their new super abilities and weapons against him, but Randal still proved to be a challenge and required an intense amount of firepower to defeat.
