Taniks, the Scarred is an infamous Fallen mercenary working for the House of Wolves, though he will hire himself out to any House.
Biography
Taniks was responsible for breaking Aksor, Archon Priest out of the Prison of Elders, and for murdering the Hunter Vanguard Andal Brask. Taniks is known to graft technology onto himself from each of his exploits.[2] He also craves combat, as he views his enemies as trophies and as such hones his combat skills for fun,[3] and worships machinery to such a degree he has augmented himself extensively.[4][5]
A year after the Taken War the Devil Splicers uses SIVA to resurrect him and become Taniks Perfected.[6]
Gameplay
- "I remember Taniks from the Reef Wars. Many Awoken dead. Clever, clever creature."
- — Variks, the Loyal[3]
He and his Ketch, Kaliks-Syn, are found on the Moon. Unlike most Fallen commanders, he is armed with a Scorch Cannon, which he uses with devastating effect. With this weapon, he can effectively hold down an area at any range. In addition, he will smash the ground if a Guardians wanders too close to him. Like many Captains, he can teleport. Unlike most Captains, though, he can teleport long distances. He uses this to avoid being defeated in one confrontation, requiring players to wear down his health until he can be cornered.
Trivia
