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.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/5/19)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[House of Wolves (expansion)|House of Wolves]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Wolves' Gambit]]''</ref> 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.

Infuriated by the interventions by the City, Skolas attempted to steal [[Vex]] technology from the [[Ishtar Sink]] of [[Venus]], and his crews breached the [[Vault of Glass]] frequently, but their attempts to hack into the Vex network were foiled by Guardians.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/5/19)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[House of Wolves (expansion)|House of Wolves]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Wolves' Gambit]]''</ref> 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 the Vex gate network to pull the entire House of Wolves from across time to combat the Guardians. He kneels in defeat as Queen Mara ordered [[Petra Venj]] to capture the beaten Kell aboard her [[Ceres Galliott|Reef Galliot]] jumpship and to be brought back to the Prison of Elders.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/5/19)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[House of Wolves (expansion)|House of Wolves]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Queen's Ransom]]''</ref>  


After being sent once again to the Prison of Elders, Skolas gathered what followers he had left in the prison and engaged the Guardian one last time, this time utilizing powerful new attacks and abilities. However, in the end Skolas' sentence was carried out as he was executed by Guardians, leaving the Wolves without a Kell.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/5/19)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[House of Wolves (expansion)|House of Wolves]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Skolas's Revenge]]''</ref>

Leaving the fate of the disgraced Kell to [[Variks]] who slated for execution, Skolas gathered what followers he had left in the prison and instigated a massive riot. Challenging the Guardians that captured him one last time, Skolas met his end as he was executed with [[Light]] and gunfire; and had left his House without their Kell.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/5/19)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[House of Wolves (expansion)|House of Wolves]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Skolas's Revenge]]''</ref>
