| ===Goons of the Boogeyman===
| | Taniks and his crew were paid by the [[House of Winter]] to free [[Aksor, Archon Priest]] from the [[Prison of Elders]]. While they were successful in their raid, Aksor was pinned as a target in the [[Winter's Run]] [[Strike]]. When a fireteam of [[Guardian]]s infiltrated [[Winter's Lair]], they brought him down, leaving the House of Winter broken. |
| An early mention of the Crew is told by [[Cayde-6]] as he retells his encounters with Taniks, who sought to claim a large bounty placed on Cayde's group of [[Hunters]] by ambushing them.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]] - [[Lore:The_Man_They_Call_Cayde|The Man They Call Cayde]]: [[Lore:The_Man_They_Call_Cayde#Raise|Raise]]''</ref> Later, Taniks grew in notoriety with the Last City and fought against its greatest of heroes.

| Cayde first succeeded in killing Taniks, but it was later discovered that Taniks was not dead at all. He was killed again by Cayde, however, Taniks' body was hauled off by his "goons".<ref name="Winner"/>

| | The [[House of Wolves]] had Taniks and his crew loot the [[Hellmouth]] and share its secrets. However, during [[The Shadow Thief]] Strike, Guardian efforts put this plan to a stop and resulted in the death of Taniks himself. |

| ===The Wolf Pack=== | | ===''[[Shadowkeep]]''=== |
| The [[House of Wolves]] hired Taniks and his Crew to join their Wolf Pack, gifted them [[Kaliks-Syn]], and renamed it the '''Traitor's Ketch'''.
| | Three years after the supposed final death of Taniks, what became of Tanik's Crew remains a mystery. Those who survived could have joined the [[House of Dusk]], while those who fought on to keep control of their [[Ketch]], [[Kaliks-Syn]], reappared as [[Nightmare]]s. Alternatively, their disappearance and the crash of their ship could have been due to the Hive. The only remaining vestige of their existence is a ruined [[Walker]] that still lies where it was felled a long time ago. |

| They ventured into the [[Hellmouth]] to steal from the [[Hive]]. However, during [[The Shadow Thief]] strike, a group of Guardians put their plans to a stop by defeating Taniks.<ref>'''Bungie (2015/5/19)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[House of Wolves (expansion)|House of Wolves]] - [[The Shadow Thief]]''</ref>

| ===Taken Incursion=== | | ===Notable Members=== |
| The Crew suffered major losses during the Taken War. Their Ketch became overrun by [[Taken]] forces leading to the corruption of [[Driviks, the Chosen]]. Out of desperation, the crew left an active distress signal that [[Variks]] and the [[The Guardian|Guardian]] would both intercept simultaneously during a [[Lost to Light|mission]]. Variks orders the Guardian to keep the Ketch from falling into Taken hands and prevent a countdown to detonation. This leads to a final conflict with the now-Taken Driviks, which ends the Taken incursion.<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]] - [[Lost to Light]]''</ref>

| A year following the Taken War, remnants of Taniks' crew allied with the [[Devil Splicers]] to rebuild their leader through [[SIVA]] augmentation, bringing him back as [[Taniks Perfected]]. Taniks would lead the leaderless Splicers to capture local Hive and conduct experimentations, but the [[Vanguard]] deployed a fireteam that stopped the operation, and Taniks was killed once again.<ref>'''Bungie (2016/20/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[Rise of Iron]] - [[Grimoire:Activities/Strikes|Strikes]]: [[Grimoire:Activities/Strikes#The_Shadow_Thief:_Revisited|The Shadow Thief: Revisited]]''</ref>

| ===Legacy===
| |
| Years after the supposed final death of Taniks, the whereabouts of Tanik's Crew became a mystery. His crew however struggled to keep control of their [[Ketch]], [[Kaliks-Syn]] and it crash landed near [[Anchor of Light]]. The only remaining vestige of their existence is a ruined [[Walker]] that lies in the same spot it fell long ago.<ref>'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Shadowkeep]]''</ref>.

| | |
| It is unknown if the Crew joined the [[House of Salvation]] since the newly formed House located the body of Taniks and reawaken him in the [[Deep Stone Crypt (raid)|Deep Stone Crypt]]. Taniks however fell to the Guardians as it morphed into the [[Heavy Shank]] monstrosity, '''Taniks, the Abomination.'''<ref>'''Bungie (2020/11/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Beyond Light]] - [[Deep Stone Crypt (raid)|Deep Stone Crypt]]''</ref>
