The Wolf Pack[edit]

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.[8]
Taken Incursion[edit]
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 Guardian would both intercept simultaneously during a 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.[9]

- — The Shadow Thief: Revisited
