 In an effort to reunite his people in light of the Traveler's apparent neglect of them after awakening, Variks contracted the help of a bounty hunter named [[Groks]] to make contact with [[Craask]], the Kell of Kings. Variks believed that Craask would understand his mission alongside the rest of the Kings, who previously ended the [[Edge Wars]] with the House of Judgement before the Whirlwind. However, Groks divulged that Craask had been killed by Fikrul and an Awoken man, and that the House of Kings has gone into hiding in the [[European Dead Zone]] of Earth.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Lore:Most_Loyal#Job_Undone|Most Loyal: Job Undone]]''</ref> Alarmed, Variks contacted Cayde-6 to meet in person within the territory of [[the Spider]] in the [[Tangled Shore]]. Wearing a cloak devoid of the Judgement sigil to avoid aggression from others hosted by the Spider, Variks met Cayde in a gambling hall, explaining that Fikrul had been seen alive. When the Exo doubted him, Variks presented examples of Fallen cheating death in the past, inadvertently mentioning Taniks, the Scarred, angering Cayde. Variks apologized and asked to be taken to the [[Tower (Destiny 2)|Tower]] to speak with Commander [[Zavala]], offering a rare [[hand cannon]] in return. Cayde agreed, and returned to the Tower with Variks.<ref name="SomeKindOfLuck"/>

 ===Day of Prison Break & Disappearance===
-His decision made, Variks did his usual routines which he deemed his last as Warden of the Prison. On the day of the Prison Break, he ran simulations on the security systems and made adjustments based on the simulations results. He did everything he normally did, except he had one last talk with his Servitor. He also had a conversation with Fikrul and Uldren the day of the Prison Break. At the end of the day the Prison Break occurred, the Warden had sent a message through the speakers announcing a malfunction in the security system and began a shutdown and reboot, which resulted in the all the prison cells and cryopods opening. As the prison cells opened, Variks made his way through the secret passage way that Petra and Cayde used to smuggle in Fikrul and Uldren into the Prison, and recorded two messages to be sent through the prison's relay. The first message he recorded with his synth voice device deactivated to talk in High Speak, in order to give commands to those Eliksni who would answer the call of House Judgement. The second message he recorded was spoken with his synth device activated about the whispers he hears from all those around him, of his insulting titles, and how he will become the Kell of House Judgement, an envoy for the Eliksni. He boarded a ship full of the prison's ether supply and accompanied by a Vandal wearing colors of the House of Wolves. Petra and the Awoken have no indication as to his location after the Prison Break.<ref name=LEWLL/>

 Following that, he has declared himself as the prophesied Kell of Kells and fled beyond Awoken territory much to the chagrin of [[the Hidden]], having demanded the arrest of the wayward Eliksni but her demand was shot down by [[Petra Venj]], claiming jurisdiction over him.<ref>'''Bungie (2019/3/5)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Joker's Wild]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Lore]]: [[Lore:Stolen_Intelligence#Outliers|Outliers]]''</ref>

 **Though he speaks English in a broken manner, [[The Spider]] reveals that Variks can actually speak it fluently but chooses not to so he can appear more harmless to the Awoken and possibly to the Guardians. In ''[[Beyond Light]]'''s "Europa" trailer, Variks can be heard speaking perfect English, which he continues to speak in the expansion's campaign - albeit now with a chittering/clicking sound between sentences.
 *Variks likely had contact with [[Cayde-6]] concerning Prison of Elders inmates. Both mention knowing each other, most likely through the bounty placed on the escaped prisoner [[Aksor, Archon Priest]].
-**This is also likely because of the scorn prisoners which Cayde and Petra brought in.
