Eramis, Kell of Darkness (formerly known as Eramis, the Shipstealer) is a Fallen Kell and former Baroness from the House of Devils, who had been captured and incarcerated in the Prison of Elders by the Awoken during the Reef Wars. Variks mentions her in his dialogue, indicating she was taken sometime during Skolas's rampage. Eramis presumably commanded at least a Skiff or probably a Ketch before her capture and was known for stealing ships for the Devils. Thanks to the mass breakout from the Prison of Elders initiated by the Scorn, Eramis escaped from the Prison and was actively trying to rally any Fallen traditionalists, who were willing to reform the House of Devils.[1]
Biography
Reuniting the Devils
Seven months after escaping from the Prison of Elders, a large amount of Fallen united under Eramis attempted to enter the old Tower and steal an old weapon forged two years ago by The Guardian, presumably to use the SIVA within. They were thwarted, however, thanks to a joint effort between the Guardian and Mithrax, the Forsaken. The mission in question the last part of a secret quest which rewards the Outbreak Perfected exotic pulse rifle.
The Dark House
She would later abandon the Devil banner, proclaiming herself as the Kell of the House of Salvation in the shadow of a Pyramid in Europa. This empire consists of the former Houses of Devils, Wolves and Dusk. They began utilizing the Darkness as a means to destroy the Guardians and The Last City, going against the Fallen’s traditional rules and ideals by willingly using and harnessing the very thing that destroyed their home. Furthermore, Eramis seeks revenge against the Traveler for abandoning her people centuries prior.[2]
Personality and Traits
Once, Eramis was described as a classical Fallen traditionalist, as in being vicious and uncompromising yet possessing cunning of the highest degree. She may have once been a believer in the Fallen's old ways and had a fierce loyalty to the House of Devils. Eramis's leadership was proven when she managed to gather various amounts of Fallen of different factions under her banner to reconstruct the House of Devils and was bold enough to make an attempted theft of the Old Tower if it meant to restore her house and people to glory.
However, driven into utter desperation and ruthlessness by the Fallen's continual losses as the hands of the Guardians, Eramis has become conniving and power-hungry, not afraid to resort to infiltration and violent conquests to achieve each of her goals. Following her failed raid during Zero Hour, she broke a major Fallen taboo, gaining Darkness abilities in the form of Stasis during her journey to Europa. Eramis is a new breed of Fallen, one that is willing to use the powers of the very same enemy that destroyed her home and broke her people, in order to achieve the power and absolution that she feels the Fallen deserve.

Trivia
- The unspecified entities reporting on Eramis's threat judge her to be the greatest threat for Fallen reunification.
- Due to her heist for Outbreak Perfected, it may be possible that she is also trying to recreate the Devil Splicers.[1]
- She will be the main antagonist of the 2020 fall expansion, Beyond Light.
- She is also the first living Fallen to use the Darkness. (note: while the Scorn were originally the first Fallen to harness the Darkness through the use of Dark Ether, Eramis is the first Fallen to do it, alive, as the Scorn are undead. The Scorn are also considered by other species to not be Fallen anymore).

- Eramis is the first known female Kell to be encountered in Destiny.
- Eramis appears to be missing two of her eyes in the Beyond Light Stasis subclasses trailer.
- Eramis was first mentioned in House of Wolves, however, this is a mishearing. Variks says something that sounds more like "Veekris" rather than Eramis.[3]
