The paracausal ability to Take derives from [[the Witness]] and its power to move worlds between realities, although they were the personal creation of [[Oryx, the Taken King]] as his army after creating the [[Tablets of Ruin]]. More recently, they have come under the sway of various Darkness-aligned entities in the wake of Oryx's defeat, including [[Savathûn, the Witch Queen]], [[Quria, Blade Transform]], [[Xivu Arath, God of War]], [[Riven of a Thousand Voices]], and [[Disciples of the Witness]] like [[Rhulk, Disciple of the Witness|Rhulk]] and [[Emperor Calus]]. [[The Drifter (character)|The Drifter]], a rogue [[Lightbearer]] known for experimenting with the [[Darkness]], has also managed to achieve a level of control over the Taken using [[Mote of Dark|Motes of Dark]], while the [[Nine]] can create their own counterfeit Taken out of dark matter. | ||
