Following the death of [[Solkis, Kell of Devils]], the [[House of Devils]] established a stronghold within the Cosmodrome of Russia. Absent of their Kell and political leader, the Devils' Prime Servitor, Sepiks, gained prominence within the House and ruled the Devils alongside [[Riksis, Devil Archon]]; who served it as a caretaker and arbiter of its will.<ref name="Riksis">'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, Grimoire: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Fallen Leadership#Riksis, Devil Archon|Riksis, Devil Archon]]''</ref> The lack of political leadership also allowed [[Craask, Kell of Kings]] to exert his influence among the techno-worshiping leadership of the Devils and rule them from the shadows.<ref>'''Bungie (2015/5/19)''', ''[[Destiny]]: PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, Grimoire: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Fallen_Leadership#Paskin.2C_King_Baron|Paskin, King Baron]]''</ref>


At some point, Sepiks's authority was challenged when a group of revered scientists, the [[Devil Splicers]], splintered away from their House as they sought freedom from subsistence on [[Ether]] and evolution by augmenting themselves with technology.<ref>'''Bungie (2016/9/20)''', ''[[Destiny]]: PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, Grimoire: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Fallen#Devil_Splicers|Devil Splicers]]''</ref> Among them was the former disgraced [[Archon Priest]], [[Aksis]] who led the Splicers.<ref>'''Bungie (2016/9/20)''', ''[[Destiny]]: PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, Grimoire: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Fallen_Leadership#Aksis,_Archon_Prime|Aksis, Archon Prime]]''</ref>
The majority of the Devils took residence near an old colony ship, named the [[Devil's Spire]], and established [[The Devils' Lair]] as a mecca for the zealous worshippers to offer tribute to their machine god in the form of skulls from dead [[Guardians]].<ref name="Riksis"/><ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [https://www.ishtar-collective.net/transcripts/ghost-scan-devils-bones Ceremonial Ritual]''</ref> Like many other [[Servitor]]s, Sepiks Prime was born in the image of the [[Traveler]] and the Devils went to great lengths to protect their main source of life sustaining [[Ether]].<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, Grimoire: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Fallen Leadership#Sepiks Prime|Sepiks Prime]]''</ref><ref>'''Gameinformer (2018/7/5)''', [https://www.gameinformer.com/2018/07/05/these-are-the-eight-barons-who-helped-kill-cayde-6-in-destiny-2-forsaken The Eight Barons who killed Cayde-6]</ref> The Prime Servitor also spawned its own line of Sepiks High Servitors, most notably [[Sepiks-23]].
