'''Taniks, the Scarred''' is a renegade [[Fallen]] mercenary with no affiliation to any House but the one that pays him. He became one of [[The Last City]]'s most wanted criminals for the number of [[Guardian]]s he murdered, including the [[Hunter]] [[Vanguard]] [[Andal Brask]]. Despite being reported dead numerous times, Taniks has repeatedly survived several battles with skilled Guardians, including [[Cayde-6]] and [[The Guardian|the Young Wolf]], and returned to battle them once again.
'''Taniks, the Scarred''' is a renegade [[Fallen]] mercenary affiliated with no House, but to those who pay him. He gained notoriety with the [[Last City]] for murdering the [[Hunter]] [[Vanguard]] [[Andal Brask]] and built a reputation of resurrecting himself despite being believed to be dead in numerous occasions.
 
He is first seen working with the [[House of Wolves]] during the [[Wolf Rebellion]] and resurrected by the [[Devil Splicers]] as '''Taniks Perfected''' during the [[SIVA Crisis]]. However he is defeated in both renditions of [[The Shadow Thief]] [[Grimoire:Activities/Strikes#The_Shadow_Thief:_Revisited|strike]]. Later, the [[House of Salvation]] rebuilt his body inside the [[Deep Stone Crypt]] where he is deployed into battle by [[Atraks-1]], but defeated as '''Taniks, the Abomination'''.
