History

Origins

"“House Gray” was never of a House, for you see, they were only just remnants of a long forgotten House, before Whirlwind struck, named “House Sky” and their Banners was raised high as their moniker."

— A blurb from the “Monseek’ir Gray”

The House of Gray was originally a Fallen House, known as: the House of Sky, who went into war against the House of Lions. They would later lose and would collapse, until a former member of the Lions, known as Tikmiks would combine the Sky Remnants and Fallen who were cast out from their Houses, to form the House of Gray, built on pain and revenge, against the Lions and those who faltered the House of Sky.

Recent Events

Gray's Return

The Lions did not notice the rise of this new House, until the Taken War, when the Gray began pillaging abandoned Fallen Lairs. The House of Lions would send a signal to Variks, The Loyal, which would be sent to The Guardian to helping them, the Guardian accepted their offer, hunting down the Gray over Mars, Found Tikmiks Rallying the Remnants of Wolves into joining them, despite of this. Tikmiks' rally was put down by the Guardian capturing Tikmiks and sent him into the Kell's Dungeon, with the House of Gray on loose, Joskaa opened up the Kell's Wrath. Joskaa began proving Bounties against the House of Gray, with the help of the Guardians putting down most of Gray.

With the Capture of Tikmiks, his Archon Servants began pulling strings over Gray. For Control, they captured Skarr, a fallen Bounty Hunter, and Brainwashed him, into becoming a their Kell. when the Lions found about this They made a Guardian strike against the mad Kell. While on Venus the Guardians found Skarr leading a group of fallen, with the oppuntunity, they killed the kell.

To replace their Lost Leaders they Built Raniks Reborn, a Prime Servitor, When Hearing about this. The House of Lions Led an assault in Hong Kong, with the help the Guardian they head into the Lair and Destroyed the Prime Servitor.

With the Gray in ruins, the House of Lions led an Assault on Mars. With the death of Gray's Generals, the destruction of a Gray ketch and the breaking of the House of Gray. the House of Lions pinned them down, however, intead of destroying them, Joskaa forcing them to surrender and bow to him as their Kell, despite their resilience, they however surrendered, and Divhoris, the Knowledge-Keeper, a House of Judgment Scribe crowned Joskaa, as the new Kell of Gray.

Rebelling against the Lions

Despite of the House of Gray's surrendering the Lions and later living on one of the asteroids that the Lions controlled, their were some that rebelled against them. Tikmiks, the Archon Priest for the Gray that was captured ordered a duel against The Guardian in the Kell's Arena in hopes of Freedom, however he was defeated and executed.

But was most notably was when some House of Gray members left the House, and joined The Jackal Syndicate, a Fallen group led by Seriviks, Kell of this organization and a former House of Lions Archon. However, they were found and destroyed by the House of Lions, the House of Gray were again more splintered and humiliated, because of this effect.

In a Frail State

""That being said, The reports on the battlefield on Deimos is very intriguing, but the repeating intel has confirmed one outcome: House of Lions being victorious, thanks to their Guardian assets on battle. As after the other's defeat, many Gray members has knelt before the Lion banner. A blurb of House Judgment data sees as a success. More to follow.""

— Crow report

It is implied that most, if not all of the surviving House Gray members either surrendered to the House of Lions, joined the Jackal Syndicate, or were destroyed. But, it has been noted that the Lion Kell, Joskaa, is currently trying to rebuild the House of Gray, as he attempt remove the House's horrible past and return them back to the House of Sky, pre-whirlwind.

Structure

"House of Gray wasn’t a House, it was just a small band of Fallen that attempted to kill us as vengeance for the death of their Past Lives."

— Joskaa

The House of Gray are seen to be a very small House, being made up by renegades, Exiles, and/or survivors of broken or extinct houses, possibly equivalent to the House of Exile, except they have a Kell. However, after the Gray Wars, the House's strength of Leadership went unknown, due to the death of their Kell, the Kell of Gray was killed and there were no mentioned of their House Archon or Prime Servitor, but it was theorized that their Leadership was reduced to Captains and Barons, since they had enough will to attack the Lions again and kill their Kell, Yorvik. Other than that, their Kell's death did not break the House, showing a level of uniformity that other Houses do not display.

Years Forward, with their House back together they seem to try to have some type of grip of power over Broken or demoralized houses, since they tried to control Remnants of Wolves, and getting Leaders from other House to become Members of their house, since they were able to have a Archon, a Bounty Hunter, and even a Prime Servitor in their arsenal.

They later fell to the House of Lions. they are the second house to go into submission of another House, the first was the House of Winter, as they surrender to the House of Wolves.

Although their current whereabouts are unknown, as they either now live out by the Lions, or they reside in Joskaa's Prison.
