Shas'O Seroshal

Shas'O Tiro'fal Seroshal Kais M'yen(Commander Shadowsword) is a legendary figure amongst the Tau of the Tiro'fal Sept, famed throughout the empire for his repeated use of successful unorthodox tactics for which his sept is well known. His repeated successes have been so well documented that rumours have developed that he may be one of the legendary students of Commander Puretide, even if the Sept's history indicates otherwise.

His employed tactics are those that would not be out of place amongst a space marine chapter with several centuries experience.

In his service Shadowsword has combated the enemies of the Tau Empire repeatedly, having waged war against the Orks and Chaos Space Marines to name just some.

"It is often the unseen hand which is the most dangerous."

- O'Seroshal, offering praise on his Sept's use of Kauyon ambush tactics

"Indeed, the Fire Cast itself is the unseen hand, held back as a closed fist to deliver the Mont'ka, while those of the water cast are extended forward, in the Gue'la handshake, a symbol of offered peace and friendship."

- O'Seroshal, offering reason behind the sept's unorthodox nature

A long experienced warrior in the sept's Fire Caste, Shas'O Tiro'fal Seroshal Kais M'yen is an expert in the unorthodox method of combat he and his Fire Warriors have come to display in battle, hailed by most as the saviour of the sept's homeworld.

His given name, which when translated roughly means Shadowsword, is said to stem from his unorthodox and nigh-on impossible movements in battle which make him difficult to predict and counter, enabling him to turn the tide of the battle to the Tau Empire's favour.

"Like leaves in the wind, the Fire Caste's movements must be impossible to predict! That is our power."

- O'Seroshal, when mentoring the younger warriors of the Sept's Fire Caste.
