Keksis, the Betrayed is a Taken Captain that was captured and imprisoned within the Prison of Elders.
Formerly a Captain to the House of Devils, Keksis was Taken but unlike other powerful Taken, Keksis is lost, especially since Oryx's death, and unable to free themselves. Now all they can do is fight without purpose.
Gameplay[edit]
Like any Taken Captain, Keksis is armed with an Arc Shrapnel Launcher and can both teleport erratically and rapidly hurl Darkness Bolts that blind Guardians. However, in Challenge of the Elders, they will gain the ability to summon explosives that will temporarily suppress a Guardian's abilities if left unchecked. The explosive will be floating around in the middle of the arena, and players must stand in it and channel its Corrupted Light to avoid getting the "Suppressed" debuff.
