'''Oryx, the Taken King''', born '''Aurash''' and formerly known as '''Auryx''' (meaning "Long Thought"), is the current sovereign of the Osmium Throne, the God-King of the Hive, and master of the Taken. Reborn from the Darkness itself through a wicked pact, Oryx is the founder of the Hive race and the source of their terrible power. Of all the Hive gods, he alone holds the power to bend other races to his will. Oryx is also the father of the dreaded Crota, a deadly Hive Prince who slew thousands of Guardians during the Great Disaster.

The '''Cabal''' are a warmongering race with a heavy-set, rhinoceros like appearance, and their ever expanding empire spreads through organization, efficiency, and corruption—their occupation of Mars is but a fraction of its full might. Few Guardians who have encountered the Cabal live to tell the tale, and on every front they have been found to dig in deep, fortifying their installations with razor wire. They are led by Dominus Ghaul.

<div style="padding: 4px 4px 0 4px">[[File:Grimoire The Dreadnaught.jpg|200px|center|link=Dreadnaught]]
The '''Dreadnaught''' is a massive Hive spaceship that serves as the fortress of Oryx, the Taken King, who came to the Solar System to enact his revenge against the Guardians for killing his son. Accompanied by a fleet of Hive warships and Tombships, the Dreadnaught entered into orbit around Saturn after having been stalled by the Awoken, and stayed there for the rest of the Taken War until Oryx's defeat.

<div style="padding: 4px 4px 0 4px">[[File:Grimoire Books of Sorrow.jpg|200px|center|link=Books of Sorrow]]
The '''Books of Sorrow''' are a compendium of the Hive's history, written by Oryx, the Taken King, stretching back before the dawn of humanity when the Founders of the Hive lived as mortals on Fundament, a gas giant similar to Jupiter, before they rose up and became gods of war. 

Excerpts of the Books can be recovered by discovering Calcified Fragments aboard the Dreadnaught. For the full record of the Books of Sorrow, please visit the Grimoire page, where they can be found under Enemies > Books of Sorrow. For the first and last Verses, see Enemies > Darkness.

<div style="padding: 4px 4px 0 4px">[[File:Grimoire Human.jpg|200px|center|link=Human]]
'''Humans''' are a sapient species native to the planet Earth.

The remaining humans are all that survive of a race whose reach once spanned the Solar System, having descended from those who endured the apocalyptic Collapse. Since then, they have fought to restore our toppled civilization to its Golden Age splendor — first by the legendary Iron Lords, and more recently by the Guardians.
