Taken Knight is a type of Taken Hive which fires explosive Solar jets in a wave to dissuade close combat and force players out of cover, teleports short distances to evade attacks. They are armed with a Void damage Boomer, which, unlike the Hive version, does not suffer from gravitational drop and its projectiles travel much faster, making it harder to evade long-range fire.

Trivia

Unusually, they are not armed with Cleavers, modified or otherwise, like their non-Taken counterparts. This could be a stylistic choice or for gameplay reasons.
