However it is possible that a House can still function without a Kell, as an [[Archon]], [[Prime Servitor]], or another Kell from a different House can assume command of the House.<ref name = "Transcript">[http://destiny.bungie.org/forum/index.php?id=13568 '''Destiny.bungie.org''': ''Transcript of the official English version of the cards'']</ref><ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]], [[The Taken King]]: PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Prime's Path]]''</ref><ref>'''Bungie (2015/5/19)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[House of Wolves (expansion)|House of Wolves]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Activities/House_of_Wolves#A_Kell_Rising|A Kell Rising]]''</ref> Their loss severely weakens a House and demoralizes its forces, so for this reason, Kells are a prime target for enemy forces.

==Kell of Kells Prophecy==

==Kell of Kells Claimants==

[[Skolas]] was the first prominent Fallen to proclaim themselves "Kell of Kells" following his release from [[Xur]]. While it is easy to mistake Skolas for being egotistical, it was however a rally call to his people as he says "I am the first, Kell of Kells, and I am the last, the Dreg of Dregs". His proclamation as the "Dreg of Dregs" is spoken with the promise that Fallen will regrow what is lost to them. Skolas became a key figurehead who understood how it felt to be conquered and started a movement where those who followed him were also named "Skolas" and fought for a common cause.

Following the death of Skolas, [[Variks]] would  agree with him that only the Kell of Kells was capable of ending the brutal Fallen bloodshed. He then searched for a Kell of Kells candidate through the use of the [[Crow (device)|Crow]] surveillance network gifted to him by [[Petra]]. At one point, Petra jokes to Variks that perhaps he is the Kell of Kells. Years later when the [[Scorned Barons]] are imprisoned, [[Uldren]] questions the loyalty of Variks to [[Mara Sov]]. Instead Variks found himself thinking about the old House of Rain proverb of the Kell of Kells. After much thought, Variks decided that he would become the Kell of House Judgment, in the hope of unifying his race and also stylise himself as a new "Kell of Kells". Variks would later regret his decision in releasing all the [[Prison of Elders]] and state that the promise of Kell of Kells clouded his judgement.

*The proper Fallen name for Kells lacks the second letter L.<ref>'''Bungie (2018-9-4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Lore:The_Dreaming_City#Misraaks|The Dreaming City]]''</ref>

**This is most likely a Human mispronunciation, as Kel sounds like Kell.

*Before getting his four arms docked by Fikrul, the Kell of Kings final word to Uldren was Dreg, which resulted in the Last Kell demoting to a Dreg.
