- A reef agent to command base

The House of Lions are a vigilant Fallen House, distinguishable by their vanilla colored armors and round brown fur cloaks, they are allies to The Last City and The Reef.

Origin
"House Winter, attack. House Devils, plot. House Kings, plan. House Wolves, circle. House Judgement, wait....but House Lions...watch."

- A Unknown Lion Captain

Just like the House of Judgment, the House of Lions are one of the oldest Fallen Houses in existence, but the Lions were a Legendary mighty House, said to be "Strong like the Wolves, Wise like Judgment, and Clever like Kings". They were the most respected House by most of Eliksni, even by the House of Kings. Untill the Whirlwind, when they later escaped into a unknown asteroid belt in a Star System, that they have control over of, and the Lions were also said to have warred with the House of Gray.

Phase One
The War started when a House known as the House of Gray entered the Lions’ territory and raided multiple camps, killing countless Fallen. This caused Yorvik, the Kell of Lions, to wage war against them. It was long courses of Battles, until Grayria, a spy for the Lions, went undercover, as a Gray scavenger, to search for the House of Gray's Lair, in which she does. She gives the report to the Yorvik, in which, with this info, the Lions manned a raid against them, and combine with the Lions' most powerful forces, they destroyed the Gray’s Lair and killed the Kell of Gray, along with it.

Phase Two
With the Kell dead, the House of Gray took revenge, while Yorvik was trying to collect Ether from one of the Astroids, Gray then cornered his ship, and destroyed it, killing him along with it. With Yorvik's death, the House of Lions fell into civil war, splitting into 3 groups, Tariks, Lion Baron, Skrisah, the Wise, and Skeklos, the Prowling.

During the civil war, Skeklos began to strangely rise to power. He first destroyed Skrisah's fleet, and then tricked the House of Gray into Defeating Tariks. With all of his rivals dead, He became the Kell of Lions, Although his rule did not Last, because most of the Lions saw him as a cruel and unfair Leader, when thing began uneasy, The Lions revolted with the help of Joskaa, Burning Blade, Grayria, Winter Lost, and Andiks-5. The attack, then led into a chase, ending in The Prison of Scars, A House of Gray facility. With the bulk of the House of Lions, they were able kill Skeklos, who apparently helped Gray kill Yorvik; Joskaa would then, destroyed the Prison, causing the Gray to trapped, with the War over, The Lion crowned Joskaa, as the new Kell.

Arriving in the Reef
The Lions later arrived to the Solar System and moved into the edges of The Reef, living out by the Awoken. But at some point, their Prime Servitor, Jobkis Prime, went missing. Later on, while the Lions were living at 2 Pallas, the Lions had suffered the Siege of Pallas, a massive event, during Reef Wars. Due to this, the Lions began trying to driving the House of Wolves out of reef. But this went unsucceseded, but the Lions caught the attention from the Queen of the Reef, and audience from the Awoken, to learn if they hostile or if they neutral, but Joskaa spoke to Mara, about where the Lions are able to live at, in which they both agreed that the Lions will in uncharted areas of 2 Pallas, with no one knowing their location, except Mara, and Variks.

Wolf Rebellion
Despite, not physically being in the Wolves' Rebellion, the Lions were approached by Skolas, who tried to convinced Joskaa into joining forces with him, in order destroy all of the Fallen’s enemies and take back the Traveler to restore their civilization. In which the Lion Kell declined, believe that it would backfire and both of their Houses would suffer terrible casualties, due to their “Champion” being unstoppable and their results could destroy them. He also believes that the Fallen Houses should either leave the System and not chase around for the Traveler, join forces with Humanity, to be close with Great Machine, or should go in hiding to keep their civilization from faltering and further the breaking of the Houses. He sends Skolas back to his Ketch with a broken dagger, and a deactivated Shank. He also tells Skolas, that he should be focusing on searching for Kaliks Prime, rather than trying to be the “Kell of Kells”.

During in the aftermath of the Wolf Rebellion, a Guardian, known as AJ, discovered the lair of the Lions. Attempting to gain their trust, AJ would keep the discovery a secret, and doing several errands for the Kell, such as participating in the Kell's Arena. Sending messages to some Houses, and doing Bounties for the House. He would then, become a honorary Baron and become the Champion of the Kell's Arena, after defeating Kralikss, Joskaa's Champion, the former Champion of the Arena, and would gain trust from Joskaa.

Tikmiks's Rebellion
In the Aftermath of the Taken War, the House of Gray returned, under the command of Tikmiks, An Archon and Brother of Skeklos. When the threat returned, The House of Lions proposed The Guardian and Variks into helping them. They accepted their offer, and began hunting down the Gray over Mars, Found Tikmiks Rallying the Remnants of Wolves into joining them, despite of this. Tikmiks' rally was put down by the Guardian capturing Tikmiks and sent him into the Kell's Dungon, with the House of Gray on loose, Joskaa opened up the Kell's Wrath.

Kell's Wrath
Joskaa began providing Bounties against the House of Gray, but with the help of the Guardians, they put down most of the Gray Forces.

Rise of Skarr
With the Capture of Tikmiks, his Archon Servants began pulling strings over Gray. For Control, they captured Skarr, a fallen Bounty Hunter, and Brainwashed him, into becoming their Kell. when the Lions found out about this, They made an attack against the mad Kell. While on Venus, the Guardians found Skarr leading a group of fallen, with the oppuntunity, they killed the Kell.

Rainiks Reborn
To replace their Lost Leaders, they built Rainiks Reborn, a Prime Servitor. When hearing about this. The House of Lions Led an attack in Hong Kong, with the help the Guardian. they head into the Lair and destroyed the Prime Servitor.

Gray's Last Stand
With the Gray in ruins, the House of Lions led an Attack on Mars. With the death of Gray's Generals, the destruction of a Gray ketch and the breaking of the House of Gray, the House of Lions pinned them down, however, instead of destroying them. Joskaa becomes the new Kell of Gray.

Allies of The Reef
Despite the House of Gray submissioning into the House of Lions, Joskaa believes that there will be some new leaders that will rise against the Kell, and the House of Gray may become can threat again, so in order to keep the Gray from getting strong and coming back again, the Kell open up Kell's Arena, which is a area that is open to gladitor fights and with the Help of The guardians. To end Tikmiks' Rebellion, Joskaa staged a gladiator match for The Guardian, against the Archon, despite Tikmiks's weapons and follwers, he was killed quickly by The Guardian. Joskaa later declares that the House of Lions will do anything to help The Last City.

Rise of Iron
In the aftermath of Taken War, Skorvik and The House of Lions began helping the Awoken in infusing Taken energy into weapons, the House of Lions' Splicers, The Lion Splicers began having a major factor, they began crafting Taken-Infused armor and weapons and giving them to the House of Lions' Soilders, created a new class of Fallen in the called: Infused-Fallen, giving them new ablities for fighting, they also even help Guardians during certain campians.

Forsaken
Despite these new weapons, The Lions faced new problems, the House of Lions first, hid their Prime, Andiks Prime, only to be captured by the Cabal. the House later fell into a civil war with the Scorn, only to fail and barely survive, because of this, the House of Lions moved out of their Lairs, and moved into the Dreaming City with the Awoken. But, later escaped as Taken began corrupting the City, forcing the Lions to move out of the City, now squatting in the outskirts of the City.

A Lion Splicer was on a mission, only to their taken-infused armor being corrupted and transformed them into Kithrax, the Broken.

More problems began to fall under the Kell, as Joskaa has been thinking into docking himself and have the Lions join the House of Dusk. But was stopped by AJ, a Guardian. After a long talk with him, Joskaa decied to bring the Lions back together and joins along side Mithrax of spreading his idea of bringing the Eliksni in joining along the Humanity in the fight against the Darkness

Return of Lions
"Fallen Houses believed in Pride, power, and ruthlessness. Not anymore, Eliksni now will understand that we must be together, must be equal, and be fair, now, spread these believes my fellow cousins"

- Joskaa, Lion Kell

With the Destruction of the Scorn and the failures of The Kell's Scourge Syndicate. The Lions began returning into glory. They first joined Mithrax to help bring any Open-Minded Eliksni to the Humanity side. They later created a new Christian denomination called: Equalism. and sent their Scholars into spreading these beliefs through out the Fallen. They later sent the Guardians into destroy the Scorn's remaining Dark Ether supply, to keep them broken and depressed. In order to get the Lions into joining Dusk. they rebuilt the Prime Servitor, Jobkis Prime for control over the Lions. suspecting a trap. Joskaa sent a group of Guardians into attack Bracus Za'ourg's stronghold and rescuing Andiks Prime, and destroyed the False Prime. With these victories the Lions were able to get most of their Lairs back.

Meme Review
"skrattar du förlorar Du"

- AJ calling the Meme Squad

When the House of Lions found the Hoth Planet, they planned on mining resources there, but they actendently met the House of TV, and fought against them, to get an edge on the House, Joskaa stoled old weapons from Hiraks, the Mindbender, and modified with the help of the Lion Splicers. they later used it to control the Scorn, Hive, and Cabal on the Reef. Joskaa, joined forces with a Guardian fireteam and created Meme Squad. However they both lost Hoth to the House of Dusk.

Crusades of the Jackals
"So, this "Syndicate" made by my sister, thinks they're a theat to us, We'll show them whos the real threat here, hehe.."

- Joskaa

Joskaa's sister, Seriviks, who was once the regarded Archon Priest for Andax Prime, left the House, due to the Lions making peace with The Last City and Awoken. After years and years of waiting, she gathered up Fallen from all around the system with House of Gray remnants, who refused to bow to Joskaa and Lion deserters who are loyal to Seriviks, becoming the Jackal Syndicate, They later remain underground. However, a Jackal Captain by the name of Chelsik began an attempt to assassinate  Joskaa and the Queen by hacking Lion Shanks and Walkers, while his crew infiltrates the area. The Guardian, However thwarts his attempt and kills him, and the Syndicate is revealed, and thus, the Crusades of the Jackals begans.

After the Jackals being revealed, Seriviks, the Kell of Jackals later took refuge on Nessus. When the Lions found out about this, they sended a Guardian to take her down. Ariving on nessus, She was seen along side Giltris, a Marauder. She, however, escaped leaving Giltris behind only to be killed by the guardian. After the attack, Joskaa orders the guardian to stand down and let his Spies deal with her.

Despite the Guardian unable to find her, Magnusk, Lions' Wrath secretly gave the guardians coordinates to her location, due to her Ketch, Jackalship Semkis-Fel being found on Titan. After fighting through her Kell's Guards and Ketch Enforcers, they face her in her throne room. Despite believing in finishing off, However, She escaped. Joskaa orders the guardian of what they were doing, but with driving Seriviks out of her Ketch. He believe that might do better in taking the Jackals down and later left them into finding Jackal bounties, while Kell's Wrath was later reopened to attack the Jackals.

Season of the Relentless
(TBA)

Season of Arrivals
Due to the Pyramids ships arriving in the inner Sol System, AJ was ordered by Zavala to immediately call up an evacuation, however some of the Lions didn’t want to leave their home, Joskaa suggested either hide with The Spider, within his deep hidden bunkers, or join the other Lions to place their Ketches around the vicinity of The Last City, the House was divided, where most of the Lions treated to the City’s Walls, within the abandoned Fallen bases that the Kell's Scourge formerly used. While others, who were unable to go with the rest, joined within the Spider’s bunkers in hopes of survival, if the Pyramids reached to the Reef.

Structure
Just like its sister House, the House of Wolves, the Lions has a complex structure within their ranks, as the house have a new leadership branch that only the House of Lions are know to have access to, This branch called Fallen Queens. Fallen Queens serve as the Queen of the house and consort of a Kell, but have other duties, as for an example, if the Kell is a female, then the house will pick the second oldest female child or female relative of the previous Kell to serve as Queen for Second-in-command, they can also get large amounts of Ether. Then have new stations of the house like Lions' Guards, Lion enforcers, Lion pike gangs, Invisible Claws, Lion Scouts, Lion Scavengers, Lion Kell's Guards, Lion mechanics. The structure of the Lions, also differs from the rest of the other Houses. The Dregs of the Lions, are not dishonored Fallen, or shameful, instead, they are criminals, or traitors of the House, and would either be: locked up in Prison, or docked and overseen by a Lion Enforcer, or a Lion High Servitor, similar to a parole, and would serve their penalty, until the Lions' Council lifts the docking, or would go rouge, but would not be able to set foot, within any Lion territory. Lion Vandals has the biggest operational freedom, than the rest of Vandals of other Houses. As they can have any role they want, as they can be Freelancers, giving their serves to other Houses or Factions, but would still be loyal to the Kell of Lions, would serve within battle; as Scouts, solders, marksmen, battle-field medics, or they can serve within the House, as guards, lawmen, Scavengers, or Gladiators that fight within the Kell's Arena, Vandals are able to maintain how much their own Ether they can use. Captains have the same roles, as Vandals, but with more power, than the Vandals, as they can either have their own crew, or work solo. They can either be teacher to other Fallen, who trying to become Captains as well, or can serve as field operatives. They can also serve as Wardens, within the House's Prison. Servitors retains the role as machine gods, but, can be utilized by any Fallen crews, factions, or workers, and are no longer only to be used by nobles or high-ranking Captains.

In Destiny 2, however nothing has changed about them, however their Elite variants has a Brown colored armor and Vanilla body suit, as for Ultra/Major versions, Their armor color is red and yellow, similar to Joskaa, Lion Kell. Their servitors, same as D1, but for their Elite versions, they have the same model as the Lion High Servitors. As for Ultra Servitor variants are the same as Overpowered Servitors, however, They're painted with red, yellow, and orange marks, similar to the Ultra Lion Members.

Trivia

 * The House of Lions could be the descendants of the House of Wolves, since their Kell was formerly part of the wolves.
 * This theory was later debunked as not true, due to Joskaa’s predecessor, Yorvik was the kell and not a former wolf.
 * However, the Lions are a sister House to the Wolves.
 * To the Lion members, they call the House: "House Lions", while rival Fallen or Non-Fallen May sometimes call the House: "Lion Pack".
 * Even though Finsik, Lion Baron works for the House of Lions, his colors shows that he belong to the House of Exile.
 * They are one of 3 houses that to not worship Servitors, the other 2 is House of Dusk and The Scorn.
 * They are also the first and only house that worship the christian religion.
 * However, after the Crusades of the Jackals, Joskaa allowed the Lions to have the freedom of religion, meaning that the Fallen can worship whatever they want. Most of the Lions went back to worshiping Servitors, while others continued to follow the Christian religion and other Earth religion, notably Joskaa and Askar, Lions' Patriarch.
 * The Lions are the first that eat other food that is not Ether.
 * It was seen that the Empty Tank, was a Hideout to the Lions, seen by it Lion Banners and white flags over the areas (Fan Fiction).
 * It was confirmed by Joskaa, however, the lair was supposed to be used a celebration party area, which was used for victories for the Lions, it also use as a relaxing and cooling down area for Joskaa, as the throne inside the fighting pit chamber was actually a replica of his throne, which the original is inside of Lionship Andiks-Fel (another Fan Fic Story).
 * It has been rumored that there's a House of Lions' Den in the vicinity of Jupiter, as it been noted that there's some Lion Scouts seen on Callisto, one of the moons of Jupiter.
 * The Lions are the only known House, to have both their House Archons to desert their House, as Seriviks, the Archon of Andiks Prime, left the House to create The Jackal Syndicate, while Warvriks, Jobkis's Archon deserted his House to join the House of Dusk.
