- "He is a murderer...and very good at what he does."
- — Variks, the Loyal
Taniks, the Scarred is an infamous Fallen mercenary working for the House of Wolves, though he will hire himself out to any House. Taniks was responsible for breaking Aksor, Archon Priest out of the Prison of Elders, and for murdering the Hunter Vanguard Andal Brask. Taniks is known to graft technology onto himself from each of his exploits.[1] He also craves combat, as he views his enemies as trophies and as such hones his combat skills for fun.[2]
Gameplay
He and his Ketch, Kaliks-Syn, are found on the Moon. Unlike most Fallen commanders, he is armed with a Scorch Cannon, which he uses with devastating effect. With this weapon, he can effectively hold down an area at any range. In addition, he will smash the ground if a Guardians wanders too close to him.
