Primus Ta'aun is first seen in the story mission [[Enemy of my Enemy]], where he is seen leading his attack force in a battle against the [[Hive]] to get to the rupture. He tries to mow down incoming foes with his heavy weapons, but becomes Taken and turns into Ta'aun, Hand of Oryx. | Primus Ta'aun is first seen in the story mission [[Enemy of my Enemy]], where he is seen leading his attack force in a battle against the [[Hive]] to get to the rupture.

In [[Last Rites]] he appears with Baxx | In [[Last Rites]] he appears with Baxx to avenge [[Crota]] before [[Eris Morn]] teleports the Guardian away. He can be damaged but has the durability of a [[The Gorgons|Gorgon]]. | ||
Returning in [[Regicide]], he fights alongside Baxx to keep the Guardian out of the portal that leads to Oryx's altar. In battle, his Heavy Slug Thrower retains the deadly power and accuracy of those of regular Colossi, and although he cannot fire missile swarms, he can still hammer the player with long range suppressive fire. If Baxx is killed first, Ta'aun will go "berserk" and chase the Guardian until he can either land a hit with his ground smash or is killed himself. | |||

[[Ghost]] and [[Cayde-6]] refer to Primus Ta'aun as a "[[Centurion]]" during [[Enemy of My Enemy]], but Ta'aun is clearly a [[Colossus]] as he wields a Heavy Slug Thrower, a Cabal weapon used exclusively by Colossi. As Ta'aun, Hand of Oryx in [[Regicide]], his weapon still functions identically to a Heavy Slug Thrower despite its visibly different Hive design. "Centurion" may simply be the catch-all term for a Cabal commander, with Colossi simply being larger, more heavily-armed Centurions. | [[Ghost]] and [[Cayde-6]] refer to Primus Ta'aun as a "[[Centurion]]" during [[Enemy of My Enemy]], but Ta'aun is clearly a [[Colossus]] as he wields a Heavy Slug Thrower, a Cabal weapon used exclusively by Colossi.
