{{Quote|Fellow Houses. Fellow Eliksni. We have found the means to apotheosis, to become machines.

In return, we will bring you to our chamber of perfection.

The history of the Devil Splicers is mostly unknown besides belonging to the Fallen House of Devils. They worked like other [[Splicer]]s of other Fallen Houses; working to improve their houses weapons, technology and evolve their species.<ref>'''Bungie (2016-9-20)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[Rise of Iron]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]] [[Grimoire:Enemies/Fallen#Splicers|Splicers]]''</ref> The Splicers, like the rest of their House, grew desperate after the loss of their House's [[Kell]], [[Archon]] and [[Prime Servitor]] at the hands of the [[Guardians]] of [[the Last City]].<ref>'''Bungie (2014-9-9)''', ''[[Destiny]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[The Devils' Lair (strike)]]''</ref> However [[Aksis, Archon Prime|Aksis]], claiming the title of Archon, finally brought a sense of leadership back to the Devils. With Aksis and his followers in power, the Splicers continued their efforts in pillaging the [[Cosmodrome]] of [[Old Russia]] to find any piece of [[Golden Age]] technology to hopefully turn the tide.<ref>'''Bungie (2014-9-9)''', ''[[Destiny]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]] [[Grimoire:Enemies/Fallen#House_of_Devils|House of Devils]]''</ref> Their efforts proved fruitful as they found [[SIVA]], a nanotechnology sealed away by the [[Iron Lords]].<ref>'''Bungie (2016-9-20)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[Rise of Iron]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[King of the Mountain]]</ref>

While the conventional leadership believed they have found a new machine to worship as a god, the younger more ambitious sect of the Splicers saw this technology as something else; a means to transcendence. The Devil Splicers believed they could use SIVA to become the machines they worship.<ref>'''Bungie (2016-9-20)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[Rise of Iron]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]] [[Grimoire:Enemies/Fallen#Devil_Splicers|Devil Splicers]]''</ref> Aksis was the first to do so, reaching apotheosis and becoming more machine than Fallen, achieving what the Splicers had long endeavored, freedom from subsistence on ether.<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> The Splicers under Aksis then used SIVA to bring back the Devil's Prime Servitor, Sepiks, to prove the technology's worth to the rest of their brethren.<ref>'''Bungie (2016-9-20)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[Rise of Iron]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]] [[Grimoire:Enemies/Fallen_Leadership#Sepiks_Perfected|Sepiks Perfected]]''</ref> However, since SIVA is completely new to the Fallen, the Splicers sought the means to control and understand it. Therefore, they traveled to [[Mars]], taking a risk with the [[Cabal]], to learn from [[Clovis Bray (corporation)|Clovis Bray]]'s archives as they were the original creators of SIVA. The Fallen were able to gain a basic understanding from the archives but a Cabal counterattack arrived and drove them away, preventing them from learning anything more of value.<ref>'''Bungie (2016-9-20)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[Rise of Iron]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Download Complete]]''</ref>
