Tao Ghun'dai
Commander of the Northern Wastes Tao Anda Ghundai (a.k.a. The Arsenal Knight)
I survived, we survived.A Si'vali native from the Northern Passage island chain, Tao began her live in a slave camp until at the age of 5 it was liberated by a Rolandite naval convoy on their way to the Avarician frontline. It was this seminal event that led to Tao not only idolizing her Rolandite rescuers, but most of all the Rolandite lieutenant that led the mission, Edward Crowley. Unfortunately, although Edward's unit were happy to take the young Si'vali under their wing, the realities of combat against the Irohan forces also vying for Avarician control took a physical toll on not just the soldiers around her, but Tao herself. Just after Tao's 10th birthday, her camp came under fire by an Irohan mortar barrage. While Tao would survive this encounter, the shrapnel injuries she sustained left her permanently scarred and took from her not only her left eye, but also her right arm and leg. Tao would in time walk again with the aid of robotic prosthetics, but she was convinced that the injuries she sustained would prevent her from following in her idol's footsteps and inheriting his signature sword fighting technique. Five years would pass until Edward finally convinced her to continue, and with the support of her unit, in time Tao would define her own style that capitalized on her individual strengths, rather than try to mirror Edward's. With a focus on versatility of her prosthetics, Tao created a style of fighting that relied on a variety of different weapon types. Chains,, spears, swords, hammers, projectiles, explosives, even a pair of scissor fists opened up Tao's ingenuity to stand as her dominant strength. Where as the rest of her unit defined themselves on the mastery of a single weapon, Tao inherited all their teachings to form a counter to all of them.-
