The incident had been staged by another Wolf claimant, [[Skolas, Kell of Kells|Skolas, the Rabid]], who ordered his minion [[Grayor, Wolf Assassin]] to lure Parixas to Iris at the same time Drevis attacked Amethyst. Although the [[Awoken]] had killed a powerful figure in the House of Wolves, the Battle of Iris was regarded as a strategic defeat due to Drevis' escape.

The Silent Fang, Skolas' elite assassin unit led by Drevis, previously attacked an Awoken space station called Amethyst.[2] Paladin Abra Zire gave chase to the Silent Fang to Iris, where they engaged a Wolf Ketch. To their surprise, however, it was not Drevis' ship, but Parixas'. Grayor and the Fang had tricked the Awoken into defeating Skolas' last rival.[3] With Skolas as sole claimant to the throne, he declared himself the Kell of Wolves.[4][5][6][7]
