- "On the sixth pace, Oryx speaks, saying, listen to me, Emperor Raven, and I will describe to you the Last True Shape, which is written on my tablet. And he puts out his fist, full of black fire, and he swallows up the Emperor Raven with a wound.
Aiat! Only Oryx knows this power, the power to take.
On the seventh pace, the Perfect Raven comes out of Oryx's wound, and she spreads her wings across Taishibeth. Never again is a Taishibethi child born. She is perfect, she enacts the will of Oryx." - — The Books of Sorrow, XXX: a golden amputation
The Tai Emperor Raven was the eponymous emperor of the Taishibethi species who ruled her empire on their home planet, Taishibeth, before the Golden Amputation brought about the race's extinction.[1]
Overview
When Oryx, the Taken King attacked her world, she confronted the Hive led by Mengoor and Cra'adug at the Raven Bridge after an unexplained absence, managing to destroy a Hive war moon with her talons, suggesting paracausal abilities. However, Oryx used his power of the Deep to Take her, transforming her into "the Perfect Raven", and employed her powers to sterilize the Taishibethi.[1]
Her abilities were mentioned to be powerful enough to "tickle the gods", according to her former subjects. This suggests she may have been a religious figure or a demigoddess.[1]
With Oryx dead, the current status of the Perfect Raven is unknown.
