However, some members of those Houses knew that the newly formed House of Dusk would fail to defeat the Guardians. So they form their own House, one so complex that it will be impossible to take down unless they are thorough with the extermination of the house. The House of Shadow was form when the Red War started, they quickly hid but they monitored the war, taking only what they can while everyone was distracted. They were contacted by Sumeragi for the chance for of an alliance with them. Skalos, the current Kell, reluctantly accepted the offer but asked if they were be slaves to Sumeragi. Surprisingly, Nova told them they were be whatever they wanted to be but never slaves. He even granted Skalos the position of being the leader of the Fallen branch of Sumeragi.

Red War aftermath
During the last period of the Red War, the House, joining Sumeragi, continued to lay a low profile but kept stealing supplies from all factions. They learn that the crew of the Almighty securing Mercury to learn more about Vex technology. Informing Sumeragi about this development, Nova requested that they take any information of the Vex themselves and any information of the Red Legion themselves. They learn that the Vex Sol Collective are trying to shape reality to fit their future, the Vex reign supreme. They also encountered the Chaos Collective, they fought briefly but Nova came and calm the situation down. The Collective leaders came to Nova to join Sumeragi for their own future.

They eventually followed the Guardian to the last Baron, and Uldren Sov, which was learned that he was mind-controlled by Riven since the Taken War.

Afterwards, they gave it to the Black Legion, along with their notes of the forge itself. Weeks later, they encountered the Shadow Guardians with Uldren Sov as a representative for the group, void of his memories. They joined Sumeragi, but warns that Uldren will kill Nova if he betrayed them. While that was happening, Skalos send several Shade troops to the House of Dusk after learning the younger members of the house doesn’t have a strong culture sense. The Shades recruited many members of the Dusk. Meanwhile, they learned that a crime syndicate called the Kell’s Scourge is attempting to locate the other forges and have them create weapons for them, even as far as Servitor Prime inside a giant mech designed for said prime to the ruins of the Last City in a attempt to locate an vault containing these weapons. Skalos sent Shades troops to observe the battle between the syndicate and Guardians. One of the Shades suggested that the House would retrieve the mech and repurposed it for their own usage.

Overview
This Vex collective formed from the remnants of Vex units from other collectives (with the exception of the Sol Divisive and Vex Sol Collective), forced together after facing countless defeats at the hands of the Guardians. Led by Atlas, Chaos Mind with the help of its three Grand Axis Minds, Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades. Together they led the collective to a future where they would be free to act on their own accord, no longer forced to serve the Pattern. They joined Sumeragi to enact that future. They can be identified with black plating with the head having horns similar to a Greek Minotaur as well as red lining.

Formation
Due to the extensive amount of damages they have suffer by the hands of the Guardians, Fallen, Hive, and Cabal, the Vex have decided to consolidate their entire forces into the Vex Sol Collective. However, many other Vex have decided to form their own group and break away from the Pattern.

Overview
The Shadow Guardians were formed from Guardians that left the Last City to fight the forces of Darkness.
