Taniks, the Scarred

Line 167:

Her House established a stronghold on [[Europa]] and they secretly rebuilt Taniks in the [[Deep Stone Crypt]]. Upon learning of the deaths of [[Phylaks]] and [[Praksis]], Eramis retaliates by ordering [[Atraks]] to return to the Crypt and prepare the "body", in reference to Taniks. Later, Eramis acquires the [[Vex]] [[Radiolaria]] necessary for the Crypt while Variks narrates a flashback regarding her past. Taniks is featured twice alongside Eramis and her allies by [[Variks]], who comments how she found new family among them.

~~After~~ the defeat of Eramis, ~~a fireteam of Guardians is enlisted by~~ the [[Exo Stranger]] to [[Deep Stone Crypt (raid)|~~raid~~]] the Crypt ~~in order to stop~~ her followers ~~from harnessing~~ a chaos they do not understand. After bypassing the Crypt Security, the Crypt AI notes that [[Clarity Control]] was breached by a single unregistered Exo and a single life form of unknown biology and were detected by the Crypt laboratory. There [[Atraks-1, Fallen Exo]] reawakens Taniks much to his anger at the sight of the Guardians. He begins bashing at the laboratory glass to no avail, so he crawls up the glass and leaves the lab.

Taniks, now known as '''Taniks, Reborn''', is found hacking the control room of the [[Morning Star]] space station. As the station descents from its orbit, Taniks engages the Guardians as they attempt to deactivate the nuclear protocol threatening to destroy Europa.

~~After deactivating~~ the nuclear protocol, the ~~orbital collision into Europa remained active. The~~ Guardians quickly retreated ~~into a~~ lower ~~hallway~~ of the ~~Rapture, but were followed by~~ Taniks ~~who~~ mercilessly ~~blasted~~ them ~~with~~ his Molten ~~Welder~~. He seemingly perished when the station ~~crashed~~ into Europa, but was ~~later~~ found to have survived the impact.

Having deactivated the nuclear protocol merely moments before orbital re-entry, the Guardians quickly retreated to shelter in the lower deck of the station. Taniks mercilessly pursues them while firing his Molten Weldar only to be locked out of the blast doors seconds before collusion. He seemingly perished when the station into Europa, but was found to have survived the impact.

He re-emerges from the debris as '''Taniks, the Abomination'''; ~~having~~ his lower body ~~fused with~~ a [[Heavy Shank]] ~~and gains~~ nuclear~~-powers~~. ~~He goes on to attacks~~ the Guardians once more with his ~~gained~~ abilities such as [[Void]]-powered Turbulent Barrages and Detain bubbles, as well as the annihilating force of his Turbulent Detonation~~; powered by the nuclear cores contained within his Shank body~~. The fireteam staggers the abominable Taniks long enough for them to collect and disarm his cores piece by piece to prevent his nuclear-fueled powers to wipe them in an instant, leading him to create a defensive Shock Field to force the Guardians to enter it in order to deal damage against him. As the Guardians begin to take down the Mercenary, Taniks teleports around the [[Restricted]] crash site to evade the shots, however he would finally fall to the fireteam, seemingly ending him for good.
