Taniks' Crew

Taniks' Crew

"Dude's been dead and not more times than I can track. "Died" twice by my hand alone. Second time I even looked to deliver some insurance, but he was hauled off by his goons"

— Cayde-6

Taniks' Crew are an unaffiliated gang of Fallen loyal to the mercenary Taniks, the Scarred, found in his Ketch, Kaliks-Syn located on the Moon. They aided him in the past by freeing Aksor, Archon Priest for the House of Winter. Later, they tried to loot the Hellmouth and share its secrets with the House of Wolves.

The crew suffered major losses during the Taken War in the Lost to Light heroic mission, leading to the demise of Driviks, the Chosen

Later, they joined the Devil Splicers to use SIVA augmentation to resurrect their leader into Taniks Perfected, to capture local Hive for experimentation and reclaim his lost territory.

Shadowkeep

Three years after the supposed final death of Taniks, what became of Tanik's Crew remains a mystery. All that remains of them is their ketch, of which now lies in an inoperable state next to where it was once located. It is plausible to assume that those who survived joined the House of Dusk and perhaps those who fought alongside the Nightmare of Taniks are what remains of his crew. There is also a grim possibility that their disappearance and the crash of their ship was caused by the Hive. Additionally, the only remaining vestige of their existence is a ruined Spider Tank that still lies where it was felled a long time ago.
