===Presence in the Cosmodrome===
Since Twilight Gap, the Devils have established a Lair in the Cosmodrome, close to The City, and been lead by [[Riksis, Devil Archon]].

===The Wolf Rebellion===
During the [[Wolf Rebellion]] by the House of Wolves led by [[Skolas, Kell of Kells]] the [[Silent Fang]] were dispatched by the Wolf Kell to assassinate the weakened Devil leadership to take control of the House.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/5/19)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[House of Wolves (expansion)|House of Wolves]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire/Activities/House_of_Wolves#Gone_to_Ground|Gone to Ground]]''</ref> A Guardian, guided by [[Variks, the Loyal]] of the [[House of Judgment]], stopped the attempted assassination and defeated the Silent Fang, saving the Devils.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/5/19)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[House of Wolves (expansion)|House of Wolves]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[The Silent Fang]]''</ref>
===The Taken War===
During [[The Taken War]] the Devils were displaced by the Taken invasion of Earth, with their former Lair becoming overrun and many Devils being Taken.<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Cayde's Stash]]''</ref> During this time, the Devils attacked the [[Warmind]] [[Rasputin|Rasputin's]] bunker, attempting to take control of the Warmind and it's weapons. Rasputin send out a distress signal, causing a fireteam of Guardians to come to the Warminds aid. The guardians followed the Devils inside, and fought against [[S.A.B.E.R.-2]], a massive [[Shank]] re-purposed by the Devils to crack into Rasputins. S.A.B.E.R.-2 was destroyed, and the Devils were forced to retreat.<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Fallen S.A.B.E.R.]]''</ref>
===SIVA Crisis===
Under the leadership of a new Archon [[Aksis, Archon Prime|Aksis]] the Devils attempts to find Golden Age technology to use against the SIVA bore fruit in the form of [[SIVA]] deep in a quarantined area of the Cosmodrome called [[The Plaguelands]]. A subsect of the House, the [[Devil Splicers]], infused themselves with SIVA making themselves stronger, with Aksis himself converting completely into a machine.<ref>'''Bungie (2016-9-20)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[Rise of Iron]] PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire/Enemies/Fallen_Leadership#Aksis,_Archon_Prime|Aksis, Archon Prime]]''</ref> This caused a rift in the House, as the techno-religious nature of the Fallen was unsure on how to react to the promises of SIVA.<ref>'''Bungie (2016-9-20)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[Rise of Iron]] PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire/Enemies/Fallen#Devil_Splicers|Devil Splicers]]''</ref> In an effort to placate the opposition, the Splicer sect used SIVA to resurrect Sepiks Prime as [[Sepiks Perfected]], giving the rest of the House their Prime back, and giving them a measure of control.<ref>'''Bungie (2016-9-20)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[Rise of Iron]] PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Sepiks Perfected]]''</ref>
The Devils, along with Sepiks, attacked the [[Iron Temple]], attempting to steal information about SIVA to further their understanding of it. They were stopped by a Guardian and [[Lord Saladin]], the last [[Iron Lord]].<ref>'''Bungie (2016-9-20)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[Rise of Iron]] PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[King of the Mountain]]''</ref> The Guardian ventured deep into Splicer territory to the SIVA replication chamber called [[Site-6], destroying the source of the SIVA and cutting off the Splicers from their SIVA supply.<ref>'''Bungie (2016-9-20)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[Rise of Iron]] PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[The Iron Tomb]]''</ref> Afterwards, Sepiks Perfected was tracked back to it's former lair, and was hunted down by a fireteam of Guardians. Sepiks was cornered unable to escape like it did at the Iron Temple, as was destroyed once more.<ref>'''Bungie (2016-9-20)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[Rise of Iron]] PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Sepiks Perfected]]''</ref> A fireteam of Guardians was dispatched to stop a Splicer priest named [[Kovik, Splicer Priest|Kovik]] who was experimenting on the [[Hive]] along with SIVA. The Guardians descended into his lair and killed Kovik, along with a Hive [[Ogre]] he was vivisecting.<ref>'''Bungie (2016-9-20)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[Rise of Iron]] PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[The Wretched Eye]]''</ref> Afterward, another fireteam stopped a Splicer attempt to keep Kovik's experiments alive by invading the [[Hellmouth]] and capture more Ogres to experiment on.<ref>'''Bungie (2016-9-20)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[Rise of Iron]] PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[The Abomination Heist]]''</ref>
With the Splicers backed into a corner, a [[Raid|larger fireteam]] attacked the Splicers lair directly. There they encountered [[Vosik, the Archpriest]], the leader of the Splicer sect. They hunted him deep into the wall the Splicers had dug into destroyed him. The guardians continued to explore the Splicer lair and discovered the Devils had found a facility not that unlike Site-6 and found Aksis, the Archon Prime of the Devils. Using SIVA against him, they managed to destroy Aksis, once again rendering the Devils leaderless.<ref>'''Bungie (2016-9-20)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[Rise of Iron]] PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Wrath of the Machine]]''</ref> In the aftermath of the [[SIVA Crisis]], all Fallen pulled out of the Cosmodrome.<ref name="Six">'''Bungie (2017/4/20)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[Age of Triumph]], Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire/Allies/Legends & Mysteries#Ghost Fragment: Fallen 6|Ghost Fragment: Fallen 6]]''</ref>
==Structure==
The House of Devils have undergone dramatic changes in leadership over the years they have spend in the Sol System. After the death of Solkis at the hands of Saint-14, the Devils did not gain a new Kell in over one hundred years, with Riksis and Sepiks acting as their sole leadership.<ref>'''Bungie (2016/4/15)''', ''[[Destiny]], Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire/Allies/Legends & Mysteries#Lengend:_Saint-14|Legend: Saint-14]]''</ref><ref>'''Bungie (2014-9-9)''', ''[[Destiny]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire/Enemies/Fallen_Leadership#Sepiks_Prime|Sepiks Prime]]''</ref> Why they did not replace him is unknown, but the Devils being a more religiously driven House compared to the others may have allowed the religious leadership to keep the House together.<ref>'''Bungie (2016-9-20)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[Rise of Iron]] PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire/Enemies/Fallen#Devil_Splicers|Devil Splicers]]''</ref><ref>'''Bungie (2016-9-20)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[Rise of Iron]] PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Sepiks Perfected]]''</ref> The death of Risksis and destruction of Sepiks Prime did not break the House, showing a level of uniformity that other Houses do not display.<ref>'''Bungie (2015-9-15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]] PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[The Wolves of Mars]]''</ref>
