The '''Taken''' are the personal army of [[Oryx, the Taken King]]. The Taken are formed from the ranks of the other enemy races in the game; they are ripped out of our dimension and then sent back, wholly possessed by the [[Darkness]] and have been twisted and corrupted, mind and body, by Oryx's power.
