They were once a peaceful House who experienced a time of prosperity when their society was graced by the [[Traveler]], who they worshipped as the "Great Machine". The various noble Houses controlled multiple star systems and coordinated themselves into societal roles such as builders, caretakers, physicians, negotiators, weavers and warriors.<ref>'''Bungie (2020/11/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Beyond Light]], PlayStation 4, [https://youtu.be/yvwGdfOlEXQ| Variks Dialogue]''</ref><ref>'''Bungie (2016/4/12)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]] PlayStation 4, [http://www.ishtar-collective.net/items/last-battle Last Battle]''</ref> While the role of the Devils is unknown, their counterparts the [[House of Wolves]] were described as being gentle weavers.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]], PlayStation 4, [[Lord_of_Wolves#Lore_(Destiny_2)|Lord of Wolves'']]</ref> | ||
Tensions and infighting grew among the Houses and they clashed in a distant event known as the [[Edge Wars]] which was ended by the [[House of Kings]] and [[House of Judgement]] to usher a new Golden Age. However their prosperity changed with the arrival of the [[Darkness]] which destroyed their society in a cataclysmic event known as the [[Whirlwind]].<ref name= "Whirl">'''Bungie (2015/5/19)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[House of Wolves (expansion)|House of Wolves]], PlayStation 4, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Allies/The_Queen#Variks,_The_Loyal|Variks, The Loyal]]''</ref> In the wake of the massive extinction, the Great Machine fled their homeworld and [[Eramis, the Shipstealer]] was among the few Eliksni to witness it flee and helplessly watched the pain and suffering it caused to her people as after being woken up from her slumber by her partner, [[Athrys]].<ref>'''Bungie (2020/11/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Beyond Light]], PlayStation4, [[Lore]]: [[Lore:The_Once-Shipstealer#VI._The_Herald|The Herald]]</ref><ref> '''YouTube (2020/11/10)''', ''[https://youtu.be/-j_6bTbkLYw The Whirlwind Cutscene]''</ref> | |||

Following the death of [[Solkis, Kell of Devils]], the House of Devils | Following the death of [[Solkis, Kell of Devils]], the [[House of Devils]] established a stronghold within the Cosmodrome of Russia. Absent of their Kell and political leader, the Devils' Prime Servitor, Sepiks, gained prominence within the House and ruled the Devils alongside [[Riksis, Devil Archon]]; who served it as a caretaker and arbiter of its will.<ref name="Riksis">'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, Grimoire: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Fallen Leadership#Riksis, Devil Archon|Riksis, Devil Archon]]''</ref> The lack of political leadership also allowed [[Craask, Kell of Kings]] to exert his influence among the techno-worshiping leadership of the Devils and rule them from the shadows.<ref>'''Bungie (2015/5/19)''', ''[[Destiny]]: PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, Grimoire: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Fallen_Leadership#Paskin.2C_King_Baron|Paskin, King Baron]]''</ref> | ||

Their dominance was uncontested for years until a newly risen [[Guardian]] was sighted attempting to escape the Fallen's territory. The Devils alerted their presence to Riksis after they had killed [[Rahn, Devil Captain]] and stole a [[Jumpship]] meant for scrap in [[Dock 13]]. The young Guardian quickly escapes the [[Cosmodrome]] and the Archon's reach just as his troops fire their [[Wire Rifle]]s at them and miss.<ref name="Rises">'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]'', ''PlayStation 4'', ''Activision Blizzard'', ''[[A Guardian Rises]]''</ref> Later, Riksis acquired the [[NLS Drive]] to bait the Guardian's return and engages them in battle as they try to secure it.

[[ | |||
The death of the Archon was celebrated by the [[Last City]] and the Devils quickly heightened their security for Sepiks as the absence of an Archon left it vulnerable.<ref name="Res"/> | |||
====Fall of Sepiks Prime==== | |||
For years the whereabouts of Sepiks remained elusive, but rumors hinted its presence within the [[Cosmodrome]]. The Devils dominance was uncontested for centuries until a newly risen [[Guardian]] slew their [[Archon]], Riksis. This was celebrated as the first major victory against the Devils since [[Battle of Twilight Gap]] and Sepiks would become vulnerable, causing the Devils to heightened their security for Sepiks.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Restoration]]''</ref><ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire:Activities/Story: Earth, Old Russia#Restoration|Grimoire Restoration]]''</ref> Rallying their Fallen nobility such as [[Naksis, Devil Baron]] and deployed a [[Devil Walker]] to deter anyone from attacking Sepiks. | |||
The Vanguard Commander [[Zavala]] located the Servitor's position beneath a [[colony ship]] and coordinated a [[Strike]] against Sepiks.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[The Devils' Lair (strike)#Transcript|Devil's Lair Strike]]''</ref> Upon arrival, the Guardians entered a crossfire between the [[Hive]] and crews of Devils protecting the entrance to their lair, they then disable the Devils' security mesh layers and disposed their [[Baron]] and [[Walker]] to reach the Devils' Lair. | |||
As they entered the lair, the team | As they entered into the lair, the team would discover Sepiks being protected by a personal immunity shield along with its worshippers within its domain, after taking out the Fallen within the site, the Prime would deactivate its shield to personally attack the Fireteam, resulting a battle between the Guardians and Sepiks. During the fight, Sepiks would continuously blasts them with its Servitor Eye and summoned more reinforcements to help it fend off the Guardians, as well as teleports around the lair to evade gunfire. But despite its tactical abilities, Sepiks would destroyed by the Guardians, which would cripple the Devils' leadership and ends the biggest threat to the [[Last City]]. | ||
In the aftermath, | In the aftermath, the Devils attempted to replace Riksis with a Rising Archon named [[Karrhis, Archon Rising|Karrhis]] in hopes of reviving Sepiks, but was also slain. | ||

During the [[Wolf Rebellion]], the [[House of Wolves]] were led by [[Skolas, Kell of Kells]]. The [[Silent Fang]] were dispatched by the Wolf Kell to assassinate the weakened Devil leadership to take control of the House.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/5/19)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[House of Wolves (expansion)|House of Wolves]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Activities/House_of_Wolves#Gone_to_Ground|Gone to Ground]]''</ref> A Guardian, guided by [[Variks, the Loyal]] of the [[House of Judgment]], stopped the attempted assassination and defeated the Silent Fang, saving the Devils.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/5/19)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[House of Wolves (expansion)|House of Wolves]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[The Silent Fang]]''</ref> | |||

[[File:SplicerRise.jpg|300px|thumb|right|The Ascension of the [[Devil Splicers]]]] | |||
Under the leadership of a new Archon, [[Aksis, Archon Prime|Aksis]], the Devils' attempts to find Golden Age technology bore fruit in the form of [[SIVA]] deep in a quarantined area of the Cosmodrome called [[The Plaguelands]]. A subsect of the House, the [[Devil Splicers]], infused themselves with SIVA making themselves stronger, with Aksis himself converting completely into a machine.<ref>'''Bungie (2016-9-20)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[Rise of Iron]] PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Fallen_Leadership#Aksis,_Archon_Prime|Aksis, Archon Prime]]''</ref> This caused a rift in the House, as the techno-religious nature of the Fallen was unsure on how to react to the promises of SIVA.<ref name = 'GrimDS'>'''Bungie (2016-9-20)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[Rise of Iron]] PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Fallen#Devil_Splicers|Devil Splicers]]''</ref> In an effort to placate the opposition, the Splicer sect used SIVA to resurrect Sepiks Prime as [[Sepiks Perfected]], giving the rest of the House their Prime back, and giving them a measure of control.<ref name = 'SPerfected'>'''Bungie (2016-9-20)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[Rise of Iron]] PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Sepiks Perfected]]''</ref> | |||
[[ | |||
The Devils, along with Sepiks, attacked the [[Iron Temple]], attempting to steal information about SIVA to further their understanding of it. They were stopped by a Guardian and [[Lord Saladin]], the last [[Iron Lord]].<ref>'''Bungie (2016-9-20)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[Rise of Iron]] PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[King of the Mountain]]''</ref> The Guardian ventured deep into Splicer territory to the SIVA replication chamber called [[Site 6]], destroying the source of the SIVA and cutting off the Splicers from their SIVA supply.<ref>'''Bungie (2016-9-20)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[Rise of Iron]] PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[The Iron Tomb]]''</ref> Afterwards, Sepiks Perfected was tracked back to it's former lair, and was hunted down by a fireteam of Guardians. Sepiks was cornered unable to escape like it did at the Iron Temple, and was destroyed once more.<ref name = 'SPerfected'/> A fireteam of Guardians was dispatched to stop a Splicer priest named [[Kovik, Splicer Priest|Kovik]] who was experimenting on the [[Hive]] along with SIVA. The Guardians descended into his lair and killed Kovik, along with a Hive [[Ogre]] he was vivisecting.<ref>'''Bungie (2016-9-20)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[Rise of Iron]] PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[The Wretched Eye]]''</ref> Afterward, another fireteam stopped a Splicer attempt to keep Kovik's experiments alive by invading the [[Hellmouth]] and capturing more Ogres to experiment on.<ref>'''Bungie (2016-9-20)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[Rise of Iron]] PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[The Abomination Heist]]''</ref> | |||
With the Splicers backed into a corner, a [[Raid|larger fireteam]] attacked the Splicers lair directly. There they encountered [[Vosik, the Archpriest]], second in command of the Splicer sect. They hunted him deep into the wall the Splicers had dug into and destroyed him. The guardians continued to explore the Splicer lair and discovered the Devils had found a facility not unlike Site-6 and found Aksis, the Archon Prime of the Devils. Using SIVA against him, they managed to destroy Aksis, once again rendering the Devils leaderless.<ref>'''Bungie (2016-9-20)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[Rise of Iron]] PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Wrath of the Machine]]''</ref> But with the Archon Prime's death, the Devil Splicers would try to find new leadership, under the form of [[Taniks, the Scarred]], by allying with the deceased mercenary's [[Taniks' Crew|crew]] to resurrect Taniks, with SIVA; although his mind was clouded by SIVA, his ruthlessness and leadership remained, helping the Splicers with their leadership vacuum. But [[Variks, The Loyal]] would uncover Taniks' rebirth and gave the coordinates to the Vanguard, leading to the demise of "[[Taniks Perfected]]", leaving the Devil Splicers broken once. <ref>'''Bungie (2016-9-20)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[Rise of Iron]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[The Shadow Thief: Revisited]]''</ref> | |||

Following their crushing defeat at the hands of the Guardians once more, the Devils committed one last act against the City that would become the last time the Devils ever assualted the Walls until [[Zero Hour]]. [[Iliksis, Light Stalker]], a large Captain of the House of Devils, amassed a large Devil group to assualt bannerfall in the hopes of breaching the City's wall once again. The group's two bombs would be defused, its fallen killed, and its leader vanquished by the Guardian - thus ending the Devil's raids and even further weakening the house. In the aftermath of the [[SIVA Crisis]], all Fallen pulled out of the Cosmodrome.<ref name="Six">'''Bungie (2017/4/20)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[Age of Triumph]], Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Allies/Legends & Mysteries#Ghost Fragment: Fallen 6|Ghost Fragment: Fallen 6]]''</ref> | |||
===Withdrawal and Unification=== | |||
[[File:SalvationEramis8.jpg|thumb|300px|Ex-Baroness, Eramis]] | |||
Eventually the Fallen House of Devils withdrew completely from the Cosmodrome, leaving behind piles of ceremonially burnt banners and armor. The other Fallen Houses—Winter, Exile, Wolves—appeared to have done the same and withdrew en masse everywhere, abandoning their former territories. Out of sheer desperation, the majority of the Fallen eventually united under a new banner of the [[House of Dusk]]. | |||
After | After the [[Scorn]]'s massive breakout at the [[Prison of Elders]], former Devil Baroness [[Eramis, the Shipstealer]] escaped and was actively rallying the remaining Fallen traditionalists into reforming the House of Devils.<ref name="Outliers">'''Bungie (2019/3/5)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Joker's Wild]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Lore]]: [[Lore:Stolen_Intelligence#Outliers|Outliers]]''</ref> After seven months, Eramis gathered a force large enough to attempt a heist on the City to steal an old [[Outbreak Prime|SIVA-infused weapon]] stored in the Cryptarch vaults of the Old Tower, possibly for the remnants of [[SIVA]] within. The Devils manage to grab the weapon, but were intercepted and killed by [[Mithrax, the Forsaken]] and the Guardian before they could escape. | ||
Following the failure to capture SIVA, Eramis abandoned the Devils banner and built a new [[House of Salvation|unified empire]] from the old Fallen houses on [[Europa]]. After being shunned by the Traveler and excluded from its Light, Eramis decided to embrace the [[Darkness]] by proclaiming herself as “Kell of Darkness”.<ref>'''Bungie (2020/06/09)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [https://www.ishtar-collective.net/entries/rimed-shell Rimed Shell]''</ref><ref>'''Bungie (2020/10/20)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [https://youtu.be/k6c6M0rKW7s Beyond Light Story trailer]''</ref> | |||
