Milhareth - Taurus

Taurus Milhareth (a.k.a. Right hand of the Sovereign)

Milhareth, codenamed Taurus, was a Shifter warrior of indomitable will and brute resilience, once hailed as the pride of Gastrua for inheriting the sacred helm of the Bull Shifter. A guardian turned weapon of cosmic intent, her story spans from island defender to mind-touched general of the Brotherhood of Terra. Torn from her vows by aberrant forces, her journey is one of love, sacrifice, corruption, and ultimately, tragedy—cut short by the very partner she sought to protect.
Milhareth’s life was one of polar extremes—a devout guardian who became a tool of destruction, then a martyr in battle against the very powers that twisted her soul. To some, she is a traitor. To others, a tragic figure who bore the weight of divinity, madness, and love in equal measure. Her legacy endures not just in stories, but in the helm once worn by the Bull Shifter of Iobil—now silent, waiting for the next to bear its burden.

Milhareth was born in a small village on the island of Gastrua, who grew up to inherit the island chiefs’ treasure, a helm that represented the strongest shifter; the bull shifter. Headstrong and Stubborn, she was quick to oppose anything that came from the dreaded abyss or the eribus depths. She quickly decided that she needed to gain more strength to protect her homeland and set out to find where true strength lay.
While on a pilgrimage she came across Star Valley and began learning the teachings of a holy order oath-bound to protect the world from extraplanar threats – the watchers. She had caught the attention of a fellow headstrong halfling, Callie, and the two quickly became enamored with each other. Their order had found a string of disappearances with leads and rumors of people being taken from a cavern hidden away within the barren expanse. Bound by their oath. Milhareth and Callie, were made their way across the desert in order to seek out this threat. They had spent a few days moving down the tunnels before they felt an eerie presence begin to enter their mind, as an alien like being captured Callie. Milhareth had struck the mind flayer, who dropped Callie and Milhareth told Callie to run and get reinforcements.
Milhareth was no match for this alien being and was taken to the bottom of the cavern, where she laid in a prison, along with a gem dragonborn – Quespa. Milhareth was taken to the Sovereign Terra, and the elder brain to be brainwashed and be implanted with a tadpole to undergo ceremorphosis, the process has stalled but the elder brain still held her mind at ease to work on a way to break their ship out of the bottom of this cavern to meet their master once more. Milhareth was asked to open her mind, coming face to face with the overseer, who sensed great divine power as seen in the fates. The overseer granted her the rank of Taurus and bestowed magic to her helm as she set to seek out more scientists and engineers from across the world to help make this planar tear bigger for the overseer.
Milhareth was the soverigns right hand man and fought the Archwardens in the fight against Rayalan and her partner Callie, where she fell to Callie's blade after a long fight that saw her and the Brotherhood of Terra. Milhareth was brought back to life by Venn the magnificent and the neothelid that was acting as the new Sovereign, where she was handily defeated by Brick Bonesmith during the scuffle after the wedding of Trinnaeus' brother that was sabotaged by Venn.
