Chelchis, Kell of Stone

"Where is the Great Machine? Where is the Great Machine?"

- Chelchis, Kell of Stone

Chelchis, Kell of Stone was a Kell to the Fallen House of Stone who once "stood before the Maw". The Fallen still revere Chelchis in their songs. From artifact and weapon descriptions, it can be assumed that Chelchis was killed by Oryx, the Taken King himself and in his last moments, called out in vain for the Traveler, only to be crushed by the power of the Taken King.
