- "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.
History
Goons of the Bogeyman
Early mention of the Crew is told by Cayde-6 as he retells his encounters of Taniks, who sought to claim a large bounty placed on Cayde's group of Hunters by ambushing them.[1] Later, Taniks grew in notoriety with the Last City and fought against its greatest of heroes.
Cayde first succeeded in killing Taniks, but it is later discovered that Taniks was not dead at all. He was killed again by Cayde, however Taniks' body was hauled off by his "goons".[2]
Later, they rebuilt Taniks and he took part in the Battle of Twilight Gap.[3]
Winter Prison Break
Taniks and his crew were paid by Draksis, Winter Kell to free Aksor, Archon Priest from the Prison of Elders.[4] While they succeeded in freeing the Archon by working alongside the House of Winter. However, Aksor was targeted by the Vanguard who coordinated a Strike to bring him down.
The Wolf Pack
The House of Wolves hired Taniks and his Crew to join their Wolf Pack and gifted them the Kaliks-Syn Ketch. They ventured into the Hellmouth to steal from the Hive. However, during The Shadow Thief strike, a group of Guardians put their plans to a stop by defeating Taniks.
Taken Incursion
The Crew suffered major losses during the Taken War in the Lost to Light Heroic mission, leading to the demise of Driviks, the Chosen.
Devil Splicer Alliance
- "Taniks's crew has joined the Splicers. They're using SIVA to reanimate his body and overtake his territory."
- — The Shadow Thief: Revisited
Taniks' Crew allied with the Devil Splicers to resurrect their leader through SIVA augmentation, bringing him back as Taniks Perfected. The crew then went on to capture local Hive for experimentation and sought to reclaim lost their territory, but the Vanguard deployed a fireteam that stopped the operation, and Taniks was killed once again.[5]
Legacy
Years after the supposed final death of Taniks, the whereabouts of Tanik's Crew became a mystery. His crew however struggled to keep control of their Ketch, Kaliks-Syn and it crash landed near Anchor of Light. The only remaining vestige of their existence is a ruined Walker that lies in the same spot it felled long ago.
It is unknown if the Crew joined the House of Salvation since the newly formed House located the body of Taniks and reawaken him in the Deep Stone Crypt. Taniks however fell to the Guardians as it morphed into the Heavy Shank monstrosity, Taniks, the Abomination.
