Forum:House of Hunters

"This is only our debut. You have only just found us, and now you will destroy us? I don't think so!"

- Kaephis, Kell of Hunters to The Guardian.

The House of Hunters is a Fallen House that was only recently encountered, though it was thought that all Houses banded together to form the House of Dusk. They use lots of Vex technology in their weapons, ships, vehicles, and even soldiers. It is said that they are the only beings able to use Vex tech for their own, and it is unknown why. It is led by their kell, Kaephis, Kell of Hunters.

History
The history of the House of Hunters is very little known. Some people think that the Vex saved their Kell from doom, but that is most likely false. Only one known Guardian is looking into their past.

Vex Companionship
It is unknown how or why the Hunters work with the Vex, or why the Vex work for them. They have achieved something impossible. The House's Kell, Kaephis, himself has his own Vex 'pet', Living Gate, Aphix Subjective, which he truly cares for. It is unknown how Living Gate feels about Kaephis.

The Vex serve as scouts, cannon fodder, and full force soldiers for the House of Hunters. They don't use them all the time for those tasks however. Kaephis feels like if he uses his Vex too much his house will be attacked with the full force of The Last City, and he also feels his connection with Living Gate will be ruined.

Machine Panic
The Machine Panic was an event occurred after The Guardian found a map of Earth in the depths of Venus after defeating Hezen, Collective Mind. The occupants of the Tower (Destiny 2) were worried about a Vex invasion of Earth and sent out Guardians to patrol all over the planet. The Vanguard personally sent The Guardian to Greenland, which was the area that was flashing on the hologram of Earth.

The Guardian arrived at Greenland and found the flagship of the House of Hunters, the Ultra Ketch. They landed at the base of a mountain nearby so they wouldn't be spotted, and documented the entire area for the Vanguard. This is the first recorded encounter with the House of Hunters, although some Guardians claim to have fought them before.
