Petra was raised on [[Amethyst]] by the [[Techeun]]s. When the settlement was attacked by the [[Silent Fang]] during the [[Reef Wars]], she became one of the Queen's [[Corsair]]s out of a desire for revenge. She made a name for herself during the Hildean Campaign as an accomplished soldier. Her pride eventually led her to make a devastating career failure; during the hunt for [[Veliniks, the Ravenous]], she called in an airstrike that resulted in three strike teams of Guardians dead. With City-Reef relations deteriorating, Queen Mara demoted Petra to Emissary and exiled her to [[the Last City]]. Petra was uncomfortable living in the City, regarding its inhabitants as ignorant of their place in the world. After years of exile, she pleaded with the Queen to end her exile and allow her to return to the Reef.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/5/19)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[House of Wolves (expansion)|House of Wolves]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire/Allies/The_Queen#Petra_Venj.2C_Queen.27s_Wrath|Petra Venj, Queen's Wrath]]''</ref>

After the Queen aided a [[The Guardian|Guardian]] in acquiring a Vex Gate Lord's eye to enter the [[Black Garden]], Petra was allowed to return to the Reef. She was stationed at the [[Vestian Outpost]] to serve as an emissary between Guardians visiting the Reef and the Queen. She met with the Guardian who the Queen had aided and tasked them with killing [[Draksis, Winter Kell|Draksis]], the Kell of the [[House of Winter]] and a thorn in the side of both the Reef and Last City. While the Guardian was accomplishing that task, [[Skolas, Kell of Kells|Skolas]] escaped from the [[Nine]] and broke many of his followers out of the [[Prison of Elders]]. Most of the House of Wolves then [[Wolf Rebellion|rebelled]] against Queen Mara and fled the Reef.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/5/19)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[House of Wolves (expansion)|House of Wolves]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard'', [[House of Wolves (quest)]]</ref> Petra was stunned by the return of Skolas, noting that Queen Mara had assured the Reef that he would never be seen again. The Queen ordered Petra to report to [[Uldren Sov]] to see what his [[Crow]]s had learned, and Petra vowed not to rest until the hunt for Skolas was done.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/5/19)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[House of Wolves (expansion)|House of Wolves]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire/Activities/House_of_Wolves#The_Hunt_for_Skolas|The Hunt for Skolas]]''</ref>

When the Guardian returned after killing Draksis, Petra informed them of the rebellion and ordered them to head to Venus to prevent Skolas from taking control of the now leaderless House of Winter. Despite the circumstances, the hunt for the Wolves invigorated Petra, and she was eager to oversee the operation to take down Skolas. She directed the Guardian to destroy the House of Winter's heavy artillery to prevent the Wolves from utilizing it. The Guardian discovered Skolas had subjected the House of Winter already, and found him making a speech. Petra ordered [[Variks, the Loyal|Variks]] to translate, and he informed them that Skolas had declared himself Kell of Kells. Skloas managed to escape, but a number of his followers were killed by the Guardian. Petra detected a mysterious Vex signal amongst the Fallen and ordered the Guardian to return to the Reef.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/5/19)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[House of Wolves (expansion)|House of Wolves]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[A Kell Rising]]''</ref> She reported these events to the Queen, who was displeased that Skolas had escaped and earned the loyalty of another Fallen house, but Petra assured the Queen she had a plan to track down Skolas.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/5/19)''', ''[[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>

Petra asked the Guardian to gather shiplinks from Fallan Vandals on Venus, which Variks then used to track the [[Silent Fang]] to the [[Cosmodrome]] on Earth, where they were hunting the leadership of the [[House of Devils]] to make their takeover easier.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/5/19)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[House of Wolves (expansion)|House of Wolves]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire/Activities/House_of_Wolves#Gone_to_Ground|Gone to Ground]]''</ref> She dispatched the Guardian to eliminate the Fang, working with Varkis to guide the Guardian to them. As they did so, Petra explained her own history with the Fang and speculated that they had helped Skolas escape, but wondered how they could have freed him from [[The Nine]]. Once the contingent of Fang sent to eliminate the leadership of the Devils was exterminated, Petra congratulated the Guardian and informed them that she bet Skolas would attempt to recruit the [[House of Kings]] next.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/5/19)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[House of Wolves (expansion)|House of Wolves]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[The Silent Fang]]''</ref> Although the Fang were weakened, they were not compleately eliminated, and Petra was ordered to set bounties on the remaining members by the Queen.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/5/19)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[House of Wolves (expansion)|House of Wolves]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire/Activities/House_of_Wolves#The_Silent_Fang|The Silent Fang]]''</ref>

Traveling to the Hull of Crows, Petra met with Prince Ulden Sov, Paladin [[Yasmin Eld]], and [[Techeun]] [[Shuro Chi]] to discuss what the Wolves and Kings were planning. Ulden revealed that two King Barons, [[Vekis, King Baron|Vekis]] and [[Paskin, King Baron|Paskin]], had been sent to meet with the Wolf Baron [[Yavek, Wolf Baron|Yavek]]. Petra asked if she could place bounties on them, but Ulden suspected they would do their work for them, guessing that the King Barons were actually assassins as the [[Kell of Kings]] would never bow before Skolas.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/5/19)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[House of Wolves (expansion)|House of Wolves]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire/Enemies/Fallen_Leadership#Vekis.2C_King_Baron|Vekis, King Baron]]''</ref> Petra was skeptical of the Prince's certainty, wondering what would happen if Skolas somehow proved to or tricked the Kings into believing he was the Kell of Kells. The Prince dismissed her concern and claimed nothing short of the Traveler proclaiming Skolas Kell of Kells would blunt the Kings' ambition, and Petra noted that he seemed to admire them.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/5/19)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[House of Wolves (expansion)|House of Wolves]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire/Enemies/Fallen_Leadership#Paskin.2C_King_Baron|Paskin, King Baron]]''</ref>

The Guardian successfully eliminated all three Fallen Barons during their meeting on Earth. Petra noted that while this was a major blow to Skolas, the House of Kings was still powerful despite losing two Barons.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/5/19)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[House of Wolves (expansion)|House of Wolves]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[The Ruling House]]''</ref> Petra soon received a report from the Crows that Skolas and the Wolves had retreated back to Venus and were fighting the Vex.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/5/19)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[House of Wolves (expansion)|House of Wolves]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire/Activities/House_of_Wolves#The_Ruling_House|The Ruling House]]''</ref> She later questioned Variks if there were any other Fallen Houses in the system that Skolas would try to recruit. He noted the [[House of Exile|Exiles]] on the [[Moon]] followed no one and would remain independent. She then asked about the [[House of Rain]] that Variks had mentioned when discussing the prophecy about the Kell of Kells, and he informed her that the House was destroyed in the [[Whirlwind]] and that only he kept their records and prophecies. Variks revealed that few had tried to become Kell of Kells, with House Judgement being the closest to peace the Fallen knew, and Petra joked that maybe he was the true Kell of Kells.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/5/19)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[House of Wolves (expansion)|House of Wolves]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire/Activities/House_of_Wolves#The_Kell_of_Kells|The Kell of Kells]]''</ref>

When the Guardian returned to the Reef, Petra informed them that the Wolves were now on the run and losing forces and directed them to speak with Variks for their next assignment. Upon discovering that Skolas and his followers were attempting to break into the [[Vault of Glass]], Petra believed that the Kell had either gone insane or had a terrible plan in the works. The Guardian prevented the Fallen from using [[Oracle]]s in the Vault as a tap into the Vex network, although Petra and Varkis agreed that the hunt for Skolas had to end now before he acquired Vex technology and became a threat to the entire system.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/5/19)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[House of Wolves (expansion)|House of Wolves]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Wolves' Gambit]]''</ref>
