'''Keksis, the Betrayed''' is a [[Taken Captain]] that was captured and imprisoned within the [[Prison of Elders]].
'''Keksis, the Betrayed''' is a [[Taken Captain]] that was captured and imprisoned within the [[Prison of Elders]].
Formerly a [[Captain]] to the [[House of Devils]], Keksis was Taken but unlike other powerful Taken, Keksis is lost, especially since Oryx's death, and unable to free himself. Now all he can do is fight without purpose.


==Gameplay==
==Gameplay==
Like any Taken Captain, Keksis is armed with an [[Arc]] [[Shrapnel Launcher]] and can both teleport erratically and rapidly hurl Darkness Bolts that blind Guardians. However, in [[Challenge of the Elders]], he will gain the ability to summon explosives that will temporarily suppress a Guardian's abilities if left unchecked. The explosive will be floating around in the middle of the arena, and players must stand in it and channel its [[Corrupted Light]] to avoid getting the "Suppressed" debuff.
