Well I know what he's talking about. That's clearly Oryx. No idea what the Shape Stealers are, though. Something from the Whirlwind, I think.

I feel like the Shape Stealers may be a reference to the Taken. From what we've seen so far they don't have their own bodies, instead taking those of other creatures to exert their force.

It might, but that would suggest that Oryx was involved in the Fall of the Eliksni, and the reaction of the alien races to Oryx's arrival suggests that the Cabal are much more involved with him than the Fallen. I think the Taken are really those that Oryx has stolen (or "blessed" when they are his own blood) and corrupted them utterly with raw Darkness.

The Taken aren't separate beings. They're empty shells controlled by Oryx and given strange powers

Ah, thank you. Unfortunately that is still not the correct answer.

I'm pretty sure I've listed two factions that Variks talks about that we have yet to face. He also talks about the Nine, the Reef, the Traveller, the Guardians, House Scar, none of whom we fight, all of whom are valid targets in the future.
