It may not actually refer to Oryx even though he was called the Taken king.Oryx was gifted the power to create and command the Taken after communicating with the Deep/Darkness but he was not the first one to have that power.It could refer to the original master of the Taken meaning the Witness/Deep/Darkness.

  • Who had the power to take prior to him slaying akka to learn how to take? Excluding the darkness, the witness (I assume he would have this ability) & akka?

  • Oryx only gained the knowledge on how to commune with the Deep when he killed Akka,When he communed with the Deep he was given the power to take by the true master of the Taken,This could be who Savathun is actually talking about when she says the Taken king will rise which I'm guessing is the Witness.I don't think anyone else has had the power to take unless I'm wrong. Sorry if I gave the impression that there were others who have had the power to take its only Oryx and the Witness/Drakness who have it.

    The witness has been referred to as a child of the darkness. He's a proxy just like Orin is a proxy of the nine (two vastly different entities but proxys nonetheless). The way you said it appeared that you might know of another who had the ability to "take" .. the witness appears to bleed through time idk how else to explain his motions. He refers to a collective, he used the words "we" & the winnower speaks in a singular fashion. Idk but I fkn can't wait to find more info on all of this. Also I failed to clarify when referring to akka, since that worm God knew about it, doesn't exactly mean it had the power to do so.

  • A big mistake you made here was that oryx was not given the power to take by the darkness. The whole point here in the story was that because he killed Savathun and Xivu Arath, he proved his might and sword logic, the logic of the darkness, and to prove it even further, he slew Akka and TOOK the power of the darkness, not given it (massive distinction here), really cementing Oryx as the one and only “Taken King” bc he was the one one who learned to “take” after following the sword logic so extremely.
