Lore/DLC Theory: Rasputin, the Darkness, and the House of Wolves

ANOTHER EDIT: This is a SUPER OLD THREAD. Move along. EDIT: A 5 second google search gives the actual point of House of Wolves. My bad. Much of this post is still plausible at best, just disregard anything involving House of Wolves So after reading the Rasputin lore thread (http://www.bungie.net/en-us/Forum/Post/72370352/0/0) and visiting the Seraphim Vault today, I started thinking about Rasputin, the Darkness, and the Fallen. This is what I pieced together: Leading into the Serpahim Vault is Bunker RAS-2. RAS obviously stands for Rasputin (If you listen carefully around the bunker, you can hear a computerized voice softly speaking in Russian). In the center of the Seraphim Vault is what appears to be a large data center, likely where Rasputin is run. If the apparent pattern of DLC is to be believed, House of Wolves will take place on Earth, and Seraphim Vault is likely to be a Raid. HoW will be centered on the Fallen (like The Dark Below will be about the Hive) In the Grimoire cards, its stated the House of Devils is "hunting for something buried below [the Cosmodrome]." Plus, the "Kings Watch" is likely the lair where the House of Kings is hiding, orchestrating events in the Cosmodrome (this will likely be a strike or a story mission similar to Scourge of Winter, and the "Ultra Captain" is a placeholder that will be a King's Kell or Archon. Since its disc-locked, it might be sort of a "demo" for House of Wolves, being free to access to everyone to convince those without HoW to get it, and keep the community happy with free content). Now, if it isn't obvious, the House of Kings is having the House of Devils hunt for the Seraphim Vault and Rasputin. This is where the House of Wolves comes into play. With the death of an Archon and a High Servitor, and the onslaught of the Hive on Earth, the House of Devils was significantly weakened, and incapable of infiltrating the Seraphim Vault. They needed another House to do it- one with brutal contempt and an iron will. This house is the House of Wolves (basically, the House of Wolves will be tons of high-ranking, hard-to-kill Fallen who might also appear in Chicago, if we go there). Now, why are the Fallen so interested in Rasputin, besides the fact that hes an incredibly advanced AI that faced the Darkness itself and survived? Actually, that is exactly why they're so interested. Its been known for awhile that the Fallen, when idle, say "the Darkness is coming." This implies that they don't necessarily work for the Darkness- at least, not willingly. Its also known that the Fallen were once a proud, noble race, before something terrible happened that reduced them to space pirates and scavengers. Humanity was in a Golden Age, before something terrible happened that nearly wiped them out. Its possible that the Traveler actually once aided the pre-Fallen, like it did Humanity, before the Darkness came for it then (sort of aside, but Servitors are regarded as "Machine Gods," and are spherical ,possibly created in the image of the Traveler). When the Darkness arrived, the pre-Fallen were too weak to stop it, so the Traveler abandoned them. The Fallen were nearly wiped out, but eventually enslaved by the Darkness. They hold a grudge against the traveler and humanity, and wish to see them destroyed, but also they want to destroy the Darkness- and thats why they want Rasputin. Taking control of him (possibly uploading him to some sort of "Supreme Servitor" as a final Raid boss) could cripple humanity, the Traveler, and the Darkness. In addition, theres "Charlemagne's Vault," which supposedly houses the Warmind of Mars. The House of Wolves could possibly have been tasked with tracking down all of the Warminds to use against both Humanity and the Darkness. Thoughts?
