"The wolves are getting closer, she is a fool for thinking she can control them."

The House of Wolves are a house of the Fallen. They are the subject of an expansion of the same name.^[1]

History

The House of Wolves was once an independent house, living out by the Jovians. They intended to join the Battle of Twilight Gap alongside the other houses, but were stopped at Ceres when the Reef intervened. After Virixas, Kell of Wolves was killed in the initial clash, their house divided and was weakened by a civil war known as the Eos Clash. Playing all factions against one another, the Queen of the Reef assumed control of their house, merging them into her realm. Some of the house's nobility was placed in the Prison of Elders. Meanwhile, she also incorporated some Vandals into her personal guard. While she generally managed to keep them under her control, some rebelled to join the House of Exile.^[2]

Under the leadership of Skolas, Kell of Kells, the House of Wolves rebelled against the Awoken and caused havoc in the Reef, while attempting to bring all houses under his control in an effort to destroy the City and the Reef once and for all. The Queen opened the Reef to Guardians of the City, with the intent of recruiting them to put an end to the rebellion.^[3]

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 barons and other nobility, the Wolves have several additional posts, as well as organizations within the House.

Kells are served by Wolf Guards, Captains who are selcted from an early age and brainwashed to be completely subservient to the Kell. The Kell also has the Silent Fang at their command, an elite group of assassins, to eliminate potential rivals and threats. And to keep the rank-and-file in line, Wolf Enforcers ensure that the remaining Fallen maintain their loyalty. Several other informal groups serve the Kell, such as the Howling Raiders, the Twisted Claw, and the Queenbreakers (the Wolves who formerly served Mara Sov but then attempted to assassinate her).
