| ===An Archon of the House of Devils===
| |
| Following the arrival of the [[House of Devils]] in the [[Solar System|Sol System]], they claimed the [[Cosmodrome]] of [[Old Russia]] as their territory. Kridis was stationed there alongside her friends [[Eramis, Kell of Darkness|Eramis, the Shipstealer]] and [[Phylaks, the Warrior]]. The trio spent years scavenging, raiding [[Humanity|human]] settlements, and fending off rival [[Fallen]] Houses that attempted to encroach upon the Devils' territory. The three dreamed of one day challenging the [[Kell]] of House Devils and taking control for themselves.<ref name="TC">'''Bungie (2020/11/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Beyond Light]] - [[Lore]]: [[Lore:The_Once-Shipstealer#VIII._The_Council|The Once-Shipstealer: VIII. The Council]]''</ref>

| |
| As a [[Archon]] of the Devils, Kridis fought in the [[Battle of the Twilight Gap]] alongside her [[Servitor]], Eramis, and Phylaks. Although the trio slew many [[Guardian]]s, the battle ended in defeat for the alliance of [[Fallen]] houses against [[The Last City]] and ended their hopes of reclaiming [[Traveler|the Great Machine]] from humanity.<ref>'''Bungie (2020/11/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Beyond Light]] - [[Lore]]: [[Lore:The_Once-Shipstealer#V._The_Nightmare|The Once-Shipstealer: V. The Nightmare]]''</ref> Kridis and her friends survived the battle, but Eramis was eventually captured and imprisoned in the [[Prison of Elders]] by the [[Awoken]] of the [[Reef]], leaving Kridis and Phylaks to continue on without her.<ref name="TC"/>

| ===Rise of Salvation===
| |
| {{Quote|So I entreat you, children of Riis. Come receive clarity for yourselves! Witness the greatness of the House Salvation and the Kell who leads it. Rejoice, for she who brought our Servitors low where they belong will do the same to the Great Machine!|Kridis, calling for all Eliksni to unite under Salvation's banner on Europa}}
| |
| Decades later, Kridis and Phylaks received word from Eramis, who had escaped the Prison of Elders two years prior, inviting them to meet her on [[Europa]], one of the moons of [[Jupiter]]. While Phylaks was overjoyed to see their old friend, Kridis noticed that amongst Eramis' advisors was the traitor [[Variks, the Loyal]], who had betrayed the [[House of Wolves]] to the Awoken and was the former warden of the [[Prison of Elders]]. Phylaks noticed her gaze and assaulted Variks, but Eramis stopped her and demanded that he be let go. Kridis and Phylaks began to doubt their comrade for associating with the treacherous scribe, whom Eramis noted that despite his crime he was all that remained of the [[House of Judgment]]. Kridis was skeptical and told her friend that she knew Eramis had no love for the scribes of Judgment, but was convinced by Eramis' argument that Variks was worth keeping alive in order to draw the ear of the Fallen who still lived in the Reef and called the plan clever. Before they could ask further questions, Eramis asked they follow so she could show them what they had built.<ref name="TC"/>

|
| |
| Kridis and Phylaks joined the [[House of Salvation]] after seeing the city of [[Riis-Reborn]], built upon the [[Eventide Ruins|ruins]] of a [[Golden Age]] human city, [[Eventide]]. Becoming a member of Eramis' Dark Council, Kridis joined her Kell in greeting the arrival of a [[Pyramid (Europa)|Pyramid]] of the [[Black Fleet]] when it landed near the Fallen city and granted Eramis the ability to wield the power of [[Darkness]] through [[Stasis]].<ref>'''Bungie (2020/11/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Beyond Light]] - [[Lore]]: [[Lore:The_Once-Shipstealer#IX._The_Kell_of_Darkness|The Once-Shipstealer: IX. The Kell of Darkness]]''</ref> Kridis was soon granted the ability to wield Stasis by Eramis and began writing notes about her experiments and experiences with it. She believed that the Fallen were the Darkness chosen champions and would use it to wipe out humanity while ensuring their names and stories would never be forgotten.<ref>'''Bungie (2020/11/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Beyond Light]] - [[Salvation's Grip]]</ref>

| As the Dark Priestess of House Salvation, Kridis broadcasted messages across the Sol System for all remaining Fallen to hear. She called for her people to discard their belief in the Great Machine and believe only in themselves, as they were the ones who had survived the [[Whirlwind]] without its aid. Kridis denounced the use of Servitors for survival, as they had been crafted in the image of the Traveler and were a link back to a past the Fallen must turn their back upon. She concluded her messages by asking all Fallen to travel to Europa and join House Salvation in Riis-Reborn to reject the [[Light]] and embrace the Darkness they had long fled from but would now draw upon for power to destroy the Great Machine and humanity.<ref name="TP">'''Bungie (2020/11/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Beyond Light]] - [[Lore]]: [[Lore:The_Once-Shipstealer#XII._The_Priestess|The Once-Shipstealer: XII.

| ===War of Salvation===
| |
| {{Expand-section}}
| |
| As House Salvation grew in size and the power of Stasis was spread throughout its ranks, they were betrayed by Variks, who believed that the Darkness was negatively affecting Eramis' mental states and endangering all they had built on Europa. Shortly after Variks fled, Kridis attended a ceremony at which Phylaks was granted the ability to wield Stasis by Eramis. The end of the ceremony was interrupted by a Guardian known as [[The Guardian|the Young Wolf]], who barely escaped from the Fallen city alive.<ref>'''Bungie (2020/11/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Beyond Light]] - [[The New Kell]]''</ref> However, the Young Wolf soon acquired the ability to wield Stasis as well and slew Phylaks and [[Praksis, the Technocrat]], another member of the Dark Council. Kridis and [[Atraks-1, Fallen Exo|Atraks, the Wildcard]] met with Eramis in the aftermath of Praksis' assassination. Ermais demanded they retaliate and dispatched Atraks to the [[Deep Stone Crypt]] to prepare [[Taniks, the Scarred]] for revival. Kridis advised that they take pause, expressing some concern over the nature of the Stasis powers and urging caution. As Eramis considered Kridis words, she began losing control of her Stasis gauntlet. Kridis watched in growing concern as her Kell smashed the ice off of her gauntlet and ridiculed the idea of caution as a weakness before declaring she would destroy the Guardians.<ref name="TT">'''Bungie (2020/11/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Beyond Light]] - [[The Technocrat]]''</ref>

| Prior to joining the House of Salvation, Kridis had been a believer in the Great Machine and hoped it would provide salvation to her people. After embracing the Darkness she preached against that idea and assisted Eramis in degrading the Servitors of House Salvation.<ref name="TP"/> Despite her fascination with Stasis, Kridis was also more cautious about its use than her fellow Dark Council members, advising Eramis that the power was not what they had expected.<ref name="TT"/>
