- "The chamber was dark. The seven of them were rarely in a room together anymore, but this was the eve of their greatest journey, a plan that overcame death and spanned universes."

The Techeuns, also known as Tech Witches, are employed by Queen Mara Sov as her personal advisors.[1]
Overview
The Techeuns possess strange powers of mysterious origins; they wear blue, jewel-like implants of some kind,[2] which may enhance or refine these powers. Two of their known abilities are illusions[3] and telepathy.[4] The Techeuns have always served the Queen in some capacity, but recently have replaced her Fallen bodyguards after the Wolves' rebellion.[2] Variks is quite wary of the Techeuns' power, to the point that he'd dock his arms before going near them.[5] Unlike the Guardians, their power appears to be unconnected to the Traveler.
The Techeuns made their first physical appearance in The Taken King when they followed their Queen into battle against Oryx, the Taken King at the Battle of Saturn. Acting in synergy with the Queen they conjured a collection of powerful projectiles, the Harbingers, which tore apart every Hive cruiser in their way and pulled thousands of Tombships in their wake. They were unable to even scratch Oryx's Dreadnaught, however, and were instead apparently absorbed by the hull.[6] The three Techeuns who were present in the battle are presumed dead by the Reef, along with the Queen.[7]
This was apparently planned for by the Coven, as they sought to somehow usurp Oryx's power from him with the Harbingers.[8] It remains to be seen if they prevailed.
The surviving Techeuns did not cooperate well with the Reef's interim regent, Petra Venj. However, they acquiesced to partnership in Reef experiments to extract and control Taken energies. Their participation in the transfer process increased success rates to 100%, with only one Techeun needing to be present at a time.[9]
