===The Taken War===
After Skolas' defeat, the Wolves began regrouping on [[Mars]], hoping to carve out a new den on a planet of their own. The Wolves rebuilt their previous [[Prime Servitor]], [[Orbiks Prime]], to lead their scattered House in the absence of a new Kell. In the wake of losses suffered at the hands of the [[Taken]] during [[The Taken War]], the [[Cabal]] were unable to stop the Wolves from entrenching themselves in their own fortifications; the [[Blind Legion]]'s former [[The Legion's Keep|base]] was captured for use as Orbiks Prime's lair.<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[A New Den]]''</ref> Eventually, [[Variks, the Loyal]] was able to track down Orbiks Prime and sent the [[Guardian]] after it. With their Prime's destruction, Variks believed that the House of Wolves had been broken once and for all.<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Prime's Path]]''</ref>

===Extinction===
Having been nearly wiped out by the deaths of their leaders and lieutenants from subsequent [[Guardian]] hunts, the House of Wolves were driven to the brink. They met their end when the terrifying [[Scorn]] [[Baron]] known as [[Reksis Vahn, the Hangman]] subsequently hunted down and executed their last remaining members, wiping the formerly-great House of Wolves off the map once and for all.

==Structure==
The Wolves appear to have a more complex structure than is found in the other houses. While they retain the typical leadership of a Kell, an [[Archon]], and a [[Prime Servitor]] (though the latter two are dead or missing) followed by [[Baron]]s and other nobility, the Wolves have several additional posts and groups with special functions within the House.
