"You are a Vandal. You slip through life like a thief. Trying to hide from everything greater than you — lest you be reduced, again, to a dreg. You have been taken. Come out into the light. You will never be diminished again. No one will ever rebuke you with a blade. What Captain disciplines you? What obedience has been burnt into your lungs? You do as your Captain commands. You wield the weapon you are given. You teach the Dregs and make sure everyone pays their share of the loot. But nothing is yours. You have no space to call your own. You deserve a place of safety. You deserve to be alone with yourself. There is a knife for you. It is shaped like [this place is mine]. Take up the knife. Make it your companion. Take your new shape"

Taken Vandal is a type of Taken Fallen that summons a spherical shield similar to Ward of Dawn. This shield heals enemies inside and allows them to shoot out but not in. Their weapons consist of either a Solar Wire Rifle or an Arc Shrapnel Launcher. Taken Vandals are unusually accurate with their Wire Rifles.
