The history of the Devil Splicers is mostly unknown besides belonging to the Fallen House of Devils. They worked like other [[Splicer]]s of other Fallen Houses; working to improve their houses weapons, technology and evolve their species. The Splicers, like the rest of their House, grew desperate after the loss of their House's [[Kell]], [[Archon]] and [[Prime Servitor]] at the hands of the [[Guardians]] of [[the Last City]]. However, a disgraced machine priest, [[Aksis, Archon Prime|Aksis]], returned and claimed the title of Archon finally bringing a sense of leadership back to the Devils. With Aksis and his followers in power, the Splicers redoubled their efforts in pillaging the [[Cosmodrome]] of [[Old Russia]] to find any piece of [[Golden Age]] technology to hopefully turn the tide. Their efforts proved fruitful as they found [[SIVA]], a nanotechnology sealed away by the [[Iron Lords]]. | The history of the Devil Splicers is mostly unknown besides belonging to the Fallen House of Devils.

While the conventional leadership believed they have found a new machine to worship as a god, the younger more ambitious sect of the Splicers saw this technology as something else; a means to transcendence. The Devil Splicers believed they could use SIVA to become the machines they worship. Aksis was the first to do so, reaching apotheosis and becoming more machine than Fallen, achieving what the Splicers had long endeavored, freedom from subsistence on ether. The Splicers under Aksis then used SIVA to bring back the Devil's Prime Servitor, Sepiks, to prove the technology's worth to the rest of their brethren. However, since SIVA is completely new to the Fallen, the Splicers sought the means to control and understand it. Therefore, they traveled to [[Mars]], taking a risk with the [[Cabal]], to learn from [[Clovis Bray]]'s archives as they were the original creators of SIVA. The Fallen were able to gain a basic understanding from the archives but a Cabal counterattack arrived and drove them away, preventing them from learning anything more of value. | While the conventional leadership believed they have found a new machine to worship as a god, the younger more ambitious sect of the Splicers saw this technology as something else; a means to transcendence.

With what they've learned, the Fallen were able to find [[Site 6]], the replication center for SIVA, in the [[Plaguelands]] and reactivated it to produce more for themselves, twisting the land into their headquarters in the process. While learning about SIVA, the Devil Splicers also learned about the original Iron Lords that sealed SIVA away and believed that they could learn more about SIVA from the Iron Lords fortress of the [[Iron Temple]]. With a force of Devils under the command of [[Sepiks Perfected]], the Fallen hoped to gain more knowledge of SIVA from within and destroy the temple to ensure the Guardians couldn't find a way to stop them. However, [[Lord Saladin]] learned of their plan and lead the Guardian to [[Felwinter Peak]] to defend the temple. Despite the Fallen's numbers and Sepiks' new powers, they failed to breach the temple. However, Sepiks survived, thanks to SIVA's regenerative powers, and fled into hiding. The Devils' attack on the temple would begin the conflict called the [[SIVA Crisis]], the battle between the Devil Splicers and the Guardians. | With what they've learned, the Fallen were able to find [[Site 6]], the replication center for SIVA, in the [[Plaguelands]] and reactivated it to produce more for themselves, twisting the land into their headquarters in the process.
