Though Skolas was able to gain the support of the leaderless [[House of Winter]] on [[Venus]], he was unable to gain the support of the [[House of Devils]] and [[House of Kings]] on [[Earth]]. He set the [[Silent Fang]] loose on Earth to kill opposing Devils, but a number of them were killed by Guardians. Skolas then sent one of his barons, [[Yavek]], to negotiate terms with the [[Kell of Kings]] at [[ | Though Skolas was able to gain the support of the leaderless [[House of Winter]] on [[Venus]], he was unable to gain the support of the [[House of Devils]] and [[House of Kings]] on [[Earth]]. He set the [[Silent Fang]] loose on Earth to kill opposing Devils, but a number of them were killed by Guardians. Skolas then sent one of his barons, [[Yavek]], to negotiate terms with the [[Kell of Kings]] at [[King's Watch]]. The Kell of Kings instead sent two barons, [[Paskin]] and [[Vekis]], not as ambassadors but as assassins. Prince Uldren speculated that nothing short of the Traveler calling Skolas by name would encourage the Kings to join him. However, before hostilities could occur between the Wolves and Kings, Guardians burst in and killed all three barons and their guards. | ||
Infuriated by the interventions by the City, Skolas attempted to use [[Vex]] technology to further his goals, and his crews breached the [[Vault of Glass]] frequently, but his attempts to gain any significant Vex technology were foiled by Guardians. With his plans to gather the Houses in ruins and the Guardians closing in, Skolas made a final stand at the top of the [[Citadel]] where he uses Vex Time Gates to bring his House of Wolves from across time to combat the Guardians. With the help of Queen Mara Sov, he was captured and sentenced to the Prison of Elders. Before he was sent to the prison, Mara Sov, visited his cell where Skolas kept bellowing "Kell of Kells" and other nonsense. However as the Queen examined him, Skolas whispered something that Variks interpreted as "Light-Snuffer" and "Dark-binder", leading Queen Mara to believe a dark force was about to arrive. | Infuriated by the interventions by the City, Skolas attempted to use [[Vex]] technology to further his goals, and his crews breached the [[Vault of Glass]] frequently, but his attempts to gain any significant Vex technology were foiled by Guardians.

After being sent once again to the Prison of Elders, Skolas gathered what followers he had left in the prison and challenged the Guardians who captured him. However, in the end Skolas' sentenced was carried out as he was executed by the Guardians, leaving the Wolves without a Kell. | After being sent once again to the Prison of Elders, Skolas gathered what followers he had left in the prison and challenged the Guardians who captured him.

==Personality and traits== | |||
Skolas is extremely prideful and vicious, even for a Kell. He is also quite delusional, according to Variks. He sees himself as fulfilling the prophecy from the [[House of Rain]], in which he is said that any Guardian to face him will "flee or fall". It is also said that he will heal the Fallen houses and make them whole again. His failure at the Cybele Uprising drives him to near fanatical levels to succeed where others had failed, securing the future for his house and the Fallen race once and for all.<ref>'''Bungie (2015-5-19)''', ''Destiny: House of Wolves, PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire/Enemies#Ghost Fragment: Fallen 3|Ghost Fragment: Fallen 3]]''</ref> His failure again at the Terminus left him in a near catatonic state, at least until directly challenged by the Guardians.<ref>'''Bungie (2015-5-19)''', ''Destiny: House of Wolves, PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire/Enemies#Skolas, Captured|Skolas, Captured]]''</ref> | Skolas is extremely prideful and vicious, even for a Kell.
