Primus Ta'aun was the commander of the Cabal Sky Burners, and bonded with the Shield Brothers Valus Tlu'urn and Valus Mau'ual. When the Taken first arrived at Phobos, Ta'aun gave the order to evacuate Fleetbase Korus. He filed a report on the ineffectiveness of his forces against the Guardians, and suggested that the technology aboard Oryx's Dreadnaught might be co-opted by the Cabal to nullify Guardian Ghost regeneration. This report was sent up the chain of command to the Cabal Emperor himself, who ordered Ta'aun to personally board and capture the Dreadnaught by any means necessary. After the Awoken armada was destroyed by the Dreadnaught's main weapon in the Battle of Saturn, Ta'aun rammed his warship, Dantalion Exodus VI, into the Hive vessel to land his troops. In the Story mission Enemy of My Enemy, Ta'aun was Taken while attempting to reach the rupture in Mausoleum that led to the realm of Oryx.
