Virixas, Kell of Wolves was the previous Kell of the Fallen House of Wolves. As the other Fallen Houses gathered their forces on Earth in preparation for an all-out assault against the City to seize the Traveler, Virixas heeded the call of his brethren and ordered the Wolves' departure from the outer Solar System. Regrouping at their stronghold of Ceres, the Wolves were challenged by the Awoken of the Reef. Overconfident, Virixas met their challenge and deployed his forces. In what became known as the Scatter, Queen Mara Sov activated powerful weapons called Harbingers that destroyed half of the Wolves' numbers. Virixas perished in the battle, instigating a three-way struggle among the Wolves for the newly vacant Kellship that was eventually won by Skolas, the Rabid.
