Variks had lived among the [[House of Wolves]] as a scribe and witnessed the Uprising on Cybele under [[Skolas]]. Unable to abide the attack on civilians, he contacted the [[crow]]s and helped put an end to the uprising, with Skolas being captured (It's likely that Variks already hated Skolas, as he claims he is responsible for the removal of his arms). From that day, Variks served the Queen, in an effort to keep the House of Judgment and its ancient traditions alive in the face of increasing degradation under the rule of the Kells.<ref>'''Bungie (2015-5-19)''', ''Destiny: House of Wolves, PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Allies#Variks, The Loyal|Variks, The Loyal]]''</ref> | Variks had lived among the [[House of Wolves]] as a scribe and witnessed the Uprising on Cybele under [[Skolas]].

After the Queen provided aid to a [[The Guardian|Guardian]] of the Last City in finding the [[Black Garden]], the Vanguard was granted access to the [[Vestian Outpost]].

Variks, using the Crows, observed the [[SIVA Crisis]] and was disgusted with the [[Devil Splicers]] use of [[SIVA]] on themselves and on a Prime Servitor, mocking [[Sepiks Perfected]]. In silent contemplation, Variks wondered if he could have stopped his people from using such dangerous technology but resolved to find a way to stop his people from falling.<ref>'''Bungie (2016-9-20)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[Rise of Iron]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Fallen#Ghost_Fragments:_Fallen_5|Ghost Fragments: Fallen 5]]''</ref> | Variks, using the Crows, observed the [[SIVA Crisis]] and was disgusted with the [[Devil Splicers]] use of [[SIVA]] on themselves and on a Prime Servitor, mocking [[Sepiks Perfected]].

===Master of Crows=== | |||
Months later, during [[The Dawning]], Variks intercepted chatter about an impending alliance between the weakened Devil Splicers and the leaderless crew of the mercenary [[Taniks, the Scarred]]. He discovered that the Devils Splicers used SIVA to resurrect their infamous leader as [[Taniks Perfected]] to cement their alliance. Variks relayed his findings to the [[Vanguard]], leading to a Strike that ended the resurrected Taniks and once again left the Splicers and Taniks's crew leaderless and in a severely weakened state.<ref>'''Bungie (2016-9-20)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[Rise of Iron]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Activities/Strikes#The_Shadow_Thief:_Revisited|The | Months later, during [[The Dawning]], Variks intercepted chatter about an impending alliance between the weakened Devil Splicers and the leaderless crew of the mercenary [[Taniks, the Scarred]].
