History

Taros and Phoenix are twin siblings, with Phoenix having been born first by a few minutes.   Taros found their father's mistreatment of Phoenix due to her gender unfair, but didn't say much to allow himself to got to a Meru academy, where he would steal older books from the library to give to Phoenix so she could learn.   Some time before Phoenix married Einalix, he was hired by Einalix's aging father to be the court High Mage for Einalix's tyrannical brother. The twins' father saw this as an opportunity to get rid of Phoenix by marrying her off to Einalix.   Taros helped Phoenix and Einalix's rebellion in secret until he was discovered, at which point he had to kill them, the couple's children, and himself with a spell he invented, Fire Storm. After becoming Inamorta, he helped take over Driftveil.

History

Iduna once attacked Menrva during its early days, having been brainwashed into thinking Menrvan forces slaughtered her tribe and others nearby. However, after learning the truth, she immediately apologized personally and simply wished for them do be merciful to her. Phoenix, knowing her trauma, allowed her a seat in the Darke Council.   Taros adopted Iduna soon after she joined the Darke Council, and treats Iduna well.

Wealth & Financial state

He is intensely wealthy because due to his and Phoenix's former nobility, they technically have claims in Marretta and My'Elo territory, and they mostly maintain these claims for paleontological and archaeological finds.   His favorite thing about this is that he found an embarrassing carving Phoenix made at 14 years old that she tried to throw away but that an archaeologist found during an excavation of their old family home.
