Fate of Skolas

So is Skolas really dead or has he truly escaped? I was thinking about this all day yesterday and have yet to find a solid answer.

  • Well... he's not really dead yet until you kill him in Skola's Revenge, so...

    • http://db.destinytracker.com/grimoire/allies/legends-mysteries/mystery-fate-of-skolas The cell cracks open. Skolas, Wolf Kell, stumbles out and crashes to his knees. He tries to leap at the creature before him, the shape in the fog, to show it why it should be afraid. But the weight of grief smashes his legs against the cell. The rage upon him beats him to the floor. He falls on all four hands, his mighty armor thundering against itself. His House of Wolves is enslaved! His people have been played! And it was his hubris, his would-be cunning that did it! While the other Houses fought for their future on Earth, throwing themselves at the Great Machine, Skolas wasted his people in games of betrayal and ambition. Bitter pride brought a bitter end! If Skolas were a Kell he would ask his Archon to dock him. Ether hisses in his mask and it tastes cold, so cold. He looks up. At the tiny hooded shape before him. The cell's mist is clearing. He can see. "I believe that I am here," the creature says. To Skolas' ears it has a strange voice, a strange accent. It speaks his language. "I have a clear purpose. I cannot explain it. Forgive me." From beneath its hood, tiny fingers of shadow probe the air. Skolas rises up to smash it, to show his strength, because the alternative to violence is waiting for violence to come from a universe that has neither respect nor compassion. But he checks himself. His ambitions have brought him here, to this cell in this strange place... only it's not so strange, is it? It's the hold of a Ketch. "The Queen," he says to the thing. "You work for the Queen." "The Nine made me aware of my purpose," the creature says. "If am here, then it is because the Queen sent you to the Nine, and they wish you sent back." "I will do no one else's work." Skolas has been a pawn long enough. A Dreg told him, once, that she would play in a game as long as the game made sense. Nothing makes sense now except the thought of Variks' throat shattering in his fists. Variks! Variks the utterly disloyal, Variks who should be welded into a Ketch's prow atom by atom and left there as a figurehead to burn away. "I am comfortable," the creature with the moving face says. "A part of me wants to go somewhere warm. Now I will certainly tell you what you have been given." Skolas looks at the shrapnel gun in his hands. Skolas imagines what he would do with it if he could reach Variks, or the brother of the Queen, or the alien Queen. Will it save anything they've lost? The worlds docked from them? No. It cannot change the past. Only the future. Only the chance that his people might one day know themselves as more than pirates and scavengers. He should never have tried to be Kell of Wolves. He should have tried to be Kell of everything. Everything wants to kill his people, the machines and the militants and the green-eyed Hive. The dead soldiers that hoard the Great Machine and come out crusading to wipe all hope away. "The ship will be yours," the creature says. It hunches over itself as if burdened by its own shape. "If you speak, you will be heard. I will go now. You are free." He tries to follow it. He fails. Somehow it is gone. He goes up to the throne room, and sets his weapon down on the great seat. Skolas, Kell of Kells, goes to the ship's comm and looks for the sign of a Servitor, for the way to plot a course.

      • If is not dead then he is immortal... That POE swallowed my 2015 summer, but with the amount of times I've been after him I think he just stopped spawning in the lvl 35 COE :)

      • Sequence of events: - Awoken attack wolves in the asteroid belt on their way to earth. - Skolas is captured and wolves now serve Mara - Skolas is handed over to the Nine, who release him. - Skolas reunites the wolves who turn on Mara (start HoW DLC) - We capture Skolas in the story. And Mara now has him in captivity a second time - After gathering whatever info she could from Skolas, she has Variks put Skolas in the Prison of Elders, where we kill him.

        • He's dead. If you are talking about the Grimoire Card of the same name, that just tells how Skolas escaped captivity from the Queen.

            • Where does it say he escaped? Xur gave him the scorch cannon to escape but we killed him before that happened.

              • No, Skolas escaped, we captured him after being told not to kill him, only to kill him next time we see him.

                • I'm fairly certain he's dead considering we killed him and all

                  • Dead. He was captured on the Vex spire, interrogated by the Queen, and finally executed by us in the Prison of Elders.
