- "Dude's been dead and not more times than I can track. "Died" twice by my hand alone. Second time I even looked to deliver some insurance, but he was hauled off by his goons."
- — Cayde-6
Taniks' Crew are an unaffiliated gang of Fallen, loyal to the mercenary Taniks, the Scarred.
History
Early History
Early mention of the Crew is told by Cayde-6 as he retells his encounters of Taniks, who sought to claim a large bounty placed on Cayde's group of Hunters by ambushing them.[1] Later, Taniks grew in notoriety with the Last City and fought against its greatest of heroes.
Cayde first succeeded in killing Taniks, but it is later discovered that Taniks was not dead at all. He was killed again by Cayde, however Taniks' body was hauled off by his "goons".[2]
Later, they rebuilt Taniks and he took part in the Battle of Twilight Gap.[3]
Winter Prison Break
Taniks and his crew were paid by the House of Winter to free Aksor, Archon Priest from the Prison of Elders.[4] While they were successful in their raid, Aksor was pinned as a target in the Winter's Run Strike. When a fireteam of Guardians infiltrated Winter's Lair, they brought him down, leaving the House of Winter broken.
The Wolf Pack
The House of Wolves had Taniks and his crew loot the Hellmouth and share its secrets. However, during The Shadow Thief Strike, Guardian efforts put this plan to a stop and resulted in the death of Taniks himself.
Taken Incursion
The crew suffered major losses during the Taken War in the Lost to Light Heroic mission, leading to the demise of Driviks, the Chosen.
Devil Splicer Alliance
Taniks' Crew allied with the Devil Splicers to resurrect their leader through SIVA augmentation, bringing him back as Taniks Perfected. The crew then went on to capture local Hive for experimentation and reclaim lost territory, but the Vanguard deployed a fireteam that stopped the operation, and Taniks was killed once again.[5]
Legacy
Three years after the supposed final death of Taniks, what became of Tanik's Crew remains a mystery. Those who survived could have joined the House of Dusk, while those who fought on to keep control of their Ketch, Kaliks-Syn, reappared as Nightmares. Alternatively, their disappearance and the crash of their ship could have been due to the Hive. The only remaining vestige of their existence is a ruined Walker that still lies where it was felled a long time ago.
