{{quote|You are a Captain. The only thing between your band and asphyxiation. Every Dreg and Vandal counts on you. All of them want to be you. Your entire life is a performance: you play at strength, or you die of weakness. ''[...]'' Everything that sees your banners and your riches wants to kill you and take what you have. If you cannot hide yourself, you must make them blind. There is a knife for you. It is shaped like ''[you cannot find me]''. Take up the knife. Breathe the blade.

The '''Taken Captain''' is a type of [[Taken]] [[Fallen]] that sends out moving balls of Darkness to blind Guardians. They use either an [[Arc]] [[Shrapnel Launcher]] or Arc [[Shock Blade]]s, and are [[Solar]]-shielded. They can quickly teleport to evade incoming attacks much like their non-Taken counterpart. | |||

A Taken Captain's Darkness Bolt has several unique properties: fast velocity, infinite range, can travel through walls, uses a large hitbox, can penetrate through multiple targets, hits the same target twice, causes blindness and deafness, and can suppress a Guardian's [[Super]], even when the Super meter is fully charged. To make sure that they have plenty of opportunities to use this attack, a Taken Captain will rapidly teleport to another position. This makes them all the more difficult to dispose of. | |||

*Among the Destiny community the Taken Captain has become infamous for its rapid teleportation and proliferate usage of Darkness Bolts. This is especially true in missions like [[Paradox]] and [[Lost to Light]] where the player has to fight them in close quarters. The [[Prison of Elders]] boss [[Keksis, the Betrayed]] is also reviled for continuously spamming these abilities. | *Among the Destiny community the Taken Captain has become infamous for its rapid teleportation and proliferate usage of Darkness Bolts.
