'''7 Iris''' is an asteroid in the [[wikipedia:Asteroid belt|asteroid belt]].<ref name="Iris">[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/7_Iris '''Wikipedia''' - ''7 Iris'']</ref>
'''7 Iris''' is an asteroid in the [[wikipedia:Asteroid belt|asteroid belt]]. During the [[Reef Wars]], it was the site of the Battle of Iris. Following the tragic Raze of [[Amethyst]], Paladin [[Abra Zire]] pursued [[Drevis, Wolf Baroness]] to Iris, but unbeknownst to Zire, Drevis used Iris' intense brightness as cover to escape. When Zire encountered a [[Ketch]] above Iris, she assumed it was Drevis' ship and ordered her squadron to open fire. By the time Zire discovered she had eliminated [[Parixas, the Howling]], one of the claimants to the vacant [[Kell|Kellship]] of the [[House of Wolves]], instead of Drevis, the cunning Wolf was long gone.


==History==
The incident had been staged by another Wolf claimant, [[Skolas, Kell of Kells|Skolas, the Rabid]], who ordered his minion [[Grayor, Wolf Assassin]] to lure Parixas to Iris at the same time Drevis attacked Amethyst. Although the [[Awoken]] had killed a powerful figure in the House of Wolves, the Battle of Iris was regarded as a strategic defeat due to Drevis' escape.  
During the [[Reef Wars]], it was the site of the Battle of Iris. The [[Silent Fang]], Skolas' elite assassin unit led by [[Drevis]], previously attacked an Awoken space station called [[Amethyst]].<ref>'''Bungie (2014/5/19)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[House of Wolves (expansion)|House of Wolves]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, Item Description, [http://www.ishtar-collective.net/items/gone-to-ground-5 Gone to Ground 5]''</ref> Paladin [[Abra Zire]] gave chase to the Silent Fang to Iris, where they engaged a Wolf [[Ketch]]. To their surprise, however, it was not Drevis' ship, but Parixas'. [[Grayor]] and the Fang had tricked the Awoken into defeating Skolas' last rival.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/5/19)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[House of Wolves (expansion)|House of Wolves]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, Item Description, [http://www.ishtar-collective.net/items/gone-to-ground Gone to Ground]''</ref> With Skolas as sole claimant to the throne, he declared himself the Kell of Wolves.<ref name="Grayor">'''Bungie (2014/5/19)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[House of Wolves (expansion)|House of Wolves]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Fallen_Hunted#WANTED:_Grayor.2C_Wolf_Assassin|WANTED: Grayor, Wolf Assassin]]''</ref><ref name="Elder Prison">'''Bungie (2014/5/19)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[House of Wolves (expansion)|House of Wolves]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Places/The_Asteroid_Belt#Prison_of_Elders.2C_The_Reef|Prison of Elders]]''</ref><ref>'''Bungie (2014/5/19)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[House of Wolves (expansion)|House of Wolves]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, Item Description, [http://www.ishtar-collective.net/items/gone-to-ground-7 Gone to Ground 7]''</ref><ref>'''Bungie (2014/5/19)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[House of Wolves (expansion)|House of Wolves]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, Item Description, [http://www.ishtar-collective.net/items/gone-to-ground-3 Gone to Ground 3]''</ref>
 
==Trivia==
*Iris was named after the rainbow goddess Iris in Greek mythology, who was a messenger to the gods, especially Hera. Her quality of attendant of Hera was particularly appropriate to the circumstances of discovery, as she was spotted following 3 Juno by less than an hour of right ascension (Juno is the Roman equivalent of Hera).<ref name="Iris"/>
