He is encountered several times in the [[House of Wolves (expansion)|''House of Wolves'']] expansion. He is first seen on Venus attempting to rally the House of Winter to his cause. He escapes before the player has the chance to stop him. He is encountered again in the Terminus, attempting to use [[Vex]] technology to secure the Wolves' power. The Guardian is sent by [[Petra Venj]] to stop him before he could pull the entire house through time. Skolas is armed with a Shrapnel Launcher and is capable of teleporting across the map to land an Ultra Smash. However, he is eventually pinned down and captured by the player, and sent to the [[Prison of Elders]]. | He is encountered several times in the [[House of Wolves (expansion)|''House of Wolves'']] expansion.

Skolas is the final boss of the level 35 Prison of Elders challenge, [[Skolas's Revenge]]. He retains his teleportation and ground smash capabilities, but this time around, he is armed with a [[Scorch Cannon]], a Fallen rocket launcher capable of killing a Guardian in just a couple of shots at any range. In addition, Skolas is supported by a pair of Servitors, named Kaliks Minor, who increase his defense significantly until one of them is destroyed, after which players can deal normal damage to him. When Skolas reaches a certain health threshold, the bonds will be permanently broken, which causes him to cast a debuff called Devouring Essence upon any random Guardian in the area. They will have thirty seconds to share the debuff with other players or they will die. If this debuff is not attended to at all, the fireteam will wipe. | Skolas is the final boss of the level 35 Prison of Elders challenge, [[Skolas's Revenge]].
