Mental characteristics

Personal history

Tavious was born within a small farming city that was at the time training soldiers for the High Church of Bastion. His younger life was that of an orphan. He was the child of a Prostitute who wanted nothing to do with him, as did his soldier father. Most of his life was through boarding homes untill he ran away to The Bastion to join the Eternal Church of the High order. He was raised as a solider of Hather, which was sought to replace Drinalis as the god of Death in the Universal Gaia Pantheon.  

Servant of Hather

Tavious served as a disciple of Hather, to strike fear into the enemies of the Holy Order. He joined active service just in time for the Crusade against the gnollish population to begin. He saw the gnolls as monsters that needed to be eradicated, and gleefully did so. He was a soldier who did not question orders and surrounded himself with death. Eventually becoming fascinated with it. He eventually got so into death he began to worship it, and then become engulfed with it.  
"I swear to my blade, that death shall become my message, and those false gods who claim your throne, and their kin to be served to your realm for your rightful justice. The heretics shall burn, and their suffering shall be ended by your merciful hand."
~Tavious Noctra, Death's Kiss.

Descent into Madness

  Eventually Tavious became hateful towards beastfolk, due to the war's sudden end on behalf of Sasslisian intervention. He blamed the church for failing their faith, and left The Bastion to go onto his own Crusade. He at first targeted Gnolls and Isarians, before finding himself in Niith, and becoming hateful of Auyri and it's clergy. He is known for his continuous harassment of the Hero Anasazi. Eventually being felled by him, as Tavious claimed to be the Avatar of Death, and that death would be the world's release from pain.  He of course earned the distaste of Drinalis.   For years and decades Tavious had given Niith all the death he could give. Murdering innocent people, mostly beast-folk and human sympathizers. He had caused the political environment of Niith to shift into a more unsafe environment as he played the nations agaisnt each other, namely trying to have Auyri become the target of an all out war. A goal he never succeeded with, as he was felled by a Nezumi known as Anasazi. His legacy however is felt world-wide and will not be forgotten. Some event fear he will return when the time is right.
