Taen is a member of Perfection in Pokémon Insurgence. He appears to be Reukra's right-hand man.

In the game

Taen first appears in the game as Harmony attempts to convince Orion to leave the Suntouched Gym by flying into the gym on his Kyurem. Once he lands, he explains that he only came to take Orion's white rock away from him. After slapping Orion, the white rock appears to awaken as Taen explains that he knew that the rock was actually Reshiram all along. He then goes on to explain the origin of Kyurem and Reshiram before leaving with Kyurem to pursue the fleeing Reshiram. Despite not interacting with the player at all during this scene, he appears to take note of their presence as he recognizes them later on.

The player's next encounter with Taen is inside of the Perfection Base. Here, Taen attempts to force both the player and Damian out of the base before Reukra interrupts him by explaining Perfection's interest in Mega Evolution. He then has the player battle Taen in order to see if they're worthy of being given a Mega Ring. After Taen has been defeated, he silently allows the player and Damian to leave as he returns to assisting Reukra.

This marks the end of Taen's role in the story at this point in the game's development

Trivia

• During the player's encounter with Taen in the Perfection Base, he refers to the player and Damian as the two trainers that were in Orion's Gym. However this is incorrect, as it was Nora and not Damian that witnessed the events that occurred there.
