{{Quote|You are a Knight. Ancient warrior elite. Dreadful backbone of the Hive. You have scarred entire worlds. ''[...]'' You fear death. Even as you visit nothingness on your foes, even as you gather tribute from your acolytes, you know that one day your strength will be outmatched. And your centuries of slaughter will end. ''[...]'' You betray the sword logic. You compromise the totality of your violence. Why protect your ground when you could take the enemy’s? You need to make your guard into a weapon. There is a knife for you. It is shaped like ''[no more fear]''. Take up the knife. Hide no more. Take your new shape.|[[Grimoire]] description}} | |||

The '''Taken Knight''' is a type of [[Taken]] [[Hive]] which fires explosive Solar jets in a wave to dissuade close combat and force players out of cover, and teleports short distances to evade attacks. They are armed with a [[Void]] damage Boomer, which, unlike the Hive version, does not suffer from gravitational drop and its projectiles travel much faster, making it harder to evade long-range fire. | |||
There were no Taken Knights armed with [[Cleaver|Cleavers]] Until ''[[Forsaken]]'', which introduced the [[Might of Riven|Mights of Riven]]. These Knights retained their Solar ability, but otherwise acted no different from a normal Cleaver-armed Knight. Later on in ''[[Season of Arrivals]]'', more Taken Cleaver Knights could be observed. | |||
