Sivu'Ta'Lasharo (SEE-Voo TEE-kah-sow-yohk TAH-lah-sha-row)
Vox Aegis Sivu Ta'Lesharo, Ta'Lesaros (a.k.a. Vox Aegis, Crown Prince to the Ta'Lesharo, The Golden Questsinger)
“For us, paradoxes are a chance to grow. When we encounter one, it means Ome'Teyotl is testing us. The result is not to choose one or the other, but to sharpen one's understanding of both. You may find you'll have to redefine what 'being good,' or 'following the rules,' truly means to you.”Sivu’Ta'Lasharo is the youngest child of the Draconix Primae and a human concubine. As the one who's blood tie is the least regal, Sivu was often ignored as a child by his family, shown love only by his mother until her passing. His father considered his existence a nuisance, but that changed when he was chosen by the Great Unicorn, K'Vallo, to be the future ruler of the Ta'Lesharo. This caused his father to hate him, and after twisting the Great Unicorn into a Nightmare, forced Sivu into numerous suicide/snipe missions to seek the Aegis: a quest that had led to the death of many Le'Sharo scouts. He was sent into the Alloyus to gather intel with other spies in Bastion. There, he met Elizabeth, who helped him rekindle his connection to K'Vallo. After saving her life and revealing his true form as a dragonborn to her, the two became very close, and thus Sivu not only survived the ordeal, but the many other missions that his father would send him on. These numerous excursions into Alloyus made him popular among the Le'Sharo, as were the stories he'd tell of the strange people from across the ocean. This earned him the nickname: The Golden Questsinger. On one excursion during Zhenus 15th, he learned Elizabeth was the Aegis the Le'Sharo were seeking. Knowing she would be in harms way if she were returned to the Le'Sharo, he chose to run away with her and K'Vallo at his side. Together the three began the long journey to the Mirror King in Settledusk, who may be able to return K'Vallo to his natural state. On Gusterus 3rd, he met the party, and since then has traveled with them in hopes saving Elizabeth, and by extension, his own people from the Man With Stars In His Eyes. Currently he is dead, with "Gentle Repose" placed upon him. The party seeks to both revive him and recover the Aegis so as to remove the curse afflicted upon him. Theme Song: Combatiente by ManáSivu, on his beliefs.

Personal history

Early Childhood
Sivu was born the youngest child of an undetermined number of siblings. When he was 3 her first met K’Vallo and befriended him. At the time K’Vallo was a Unicorn. Between 5-10 K’Vallo was taken from him, turned into a Nightmare, and left to die. Sivu would attempt numerous times afterward to bring his animal companion back, to no avail.
At 5 he was part of a Sharo'Ka reconnaissance mission into Bastion for the purpose of finding the Aegis. He met a five year old Elizabeth and the two became friends, with both sneaking away from their groups at night to play. He would attend these reconnaisance missions every year for a chance to see Elizabeth again.
At age 10, he saved Elizabeth from cultists. Riding atop K'Vallo, he rescued her from her captors and showed her his true form. It was after this he said he needed to say goodbye, and would not see Elizabeth again until he was 15.
At 15, he was inducted into an Assassin's pact with a Soulbind Curse, placed on him by his father. His job was to assassinate a noble from Bastion, but when he found out it was supposed to be Elizabeth, he rebelled. When he asked his brothers, who were also on the mission, to side with him, they deemed him a heretic. This started a fight between the three, in which Sivu was compelled to kill them. Afterward, he and Elizabeth fled Bastion.
Recent History
Within the last few months the two of them fled Bastion and are headed to Settledusk.
In Bend River he revealed to the party his steed is K’Ballo the Nightmare.
In Yonara he revealed to Ela Stonetell how he came to know Avalissa, where he met K’Ballo, and why he can’t return home. In addition Ela noticed he seems to be wearing something on his person.
In Stonecast, he and Elizabeth were captured. He was revealed to the party to be a Dragonborn in disguise and also a Sharo'Ka.
In Three Point River, he helped kill one of Pereek's informants, causing his curse to activate. Before the 24 hour period ended, Sivu asked them to assist in killing him. Once revived, and with the Aegis, they could bring him back to life without the curses' effect.
Currently, his body has Gentle Repose placed upon it, and is placed in a coffin in the back wagon.

Identifies as male, though he has no real opinion on gender presentation.

Social
Contacts & Relations
Avalissa Alonim (Elizabeth Ron Dolforé)
Avalissa is the person with whom he is the closest. He often keeps her safe and voices any suspicions or concerns to her, but defers to her judgement most of the time. The two are almost completely opposite in personality, but he gets along with her all the same.
He is fiercely protective of her identity as Elizabeth, and refuses to use her real name in any situation so as to aid her journey.
Sivu expressed he owes her his life. Recently has begun to grapple with complex feelings he has toward her. Ela has given him good advice on how best to proceed.
K’vallo
Sivu and his steed have a great deal of history together. Sivu seems to speak with K’vallo as though he were a person. Ela overheard him speaking with someone and believes K’vallo can talk.
Delphine Finley
Sivu has not spoken to Delphine often. The few times he has he’s often chiding her for asking questions or getting between her and Avalissa. The two have often bantered regarding Sivu’s tacitness.
When Delphine was injured, he quickly came to her aid. When she came to he demanded she rest, and assured her the congregation would be taken care of. To Sophia’s surprise he stuck true to his word and addressed her follower’s concerns in a manner that assuaged their fears.
Though he knows he shouldn't, he enjoys getting a rise out of her whenever possible. Though he is loathe to admit it, her fussiness and constant awareness reminds him of a friend of his back home. Ultimately he likes her as a person, but is okay with using the walls she puts up to bolster his own.
She and he disagree heavily on the subject of religion, though he understands her point of view. He feels she's best engaged when the two are in agreement over a shared threat.
Robin Weiss
Sivu feels, out of the entire group, Robin is the one who understands him the best. They share many similarities on the importance of religion, personal growth, and discipline. As a result, when opening up, he finds it easiest to do so with her first. Part of his friendship with her stems from being able to speak a Galderic Language with her.
He appreciates Robin keeping his and Elizabeth's secret, along with Delphine. He wishes to get to know them both, but he feels easier to address Robin.
Malopher O’Lak
When they first met, Sivu expressed concern to Avalissa regarding Malopher’s qualifications. Since then the two have not interacted save the occasional changing of the watches, or exchanged a few polite words.
During the Bend River incident, he empathized a bit with Malopher, understanding his plans to rid the town of the wealthy landowner that plagued it. When Kelios fled justice, he knew Malopher wouldn’t be able to catch him in time and let him borrow K’Ballo.
After Faircaster, he and Malopher discussed business and personal grudges. At first he wished to understand Malopher's reasoning behind sharing his and Elizbaeth's information. Though he wishes it were not the case, he found himself agreeing with Malopher in that everything is personal to some level.
Ela Stonetell
From the day they first interacted Ela has taken an interest in Sivu, much to his dismay. He dislikes the attention she gives him, and how she manages to ask the very questions he doesn’t want to answer. Because of this he too has learned a great deal about Ela, and willingly gave her some poison she needed to stem the growth of her disease.
Since then, Sivu is of two minds regarding Ela. In one mind he despises her lax attitude regarding her mortality, and disparages her flippant disregard of her fellow caravan’s reputation/safety. In his other, he knows the majority of her situation is not her fault, nor are the situations in which she finds herself, as it seems trouble follows her everywhere as it does him. Thus far he maintains a cautious respect for the half elf woman and, though he won’t admit it, is beginning to appreciate her company.
After Faircaster he empathizes with her plight, seeing a lot of his own trials as hers. Though he would not admit it, he does see Ela as both a confidant, and a mentor figure. Time will tell which gets the better of him.
Kazimier Marlowe
Sivu isn’t sure what to make of Kazimier. The man performs his duties without fail, but seems more content with being a grunt than a leader. Sivu tries his best to maintain an employer/employee relationship with Kazimier, but he can’t help but feel drawn to the man in some way.
Clem
From day one Sivu has expressed open disdain for Clem. Despite the two having much in common, Sivu remains determined to keep a barrier between him and Clem, even going so far as to call him a “Halfa.”
In Yonara Clem confronted Sivu about his flower purchases. After Faircaster Sivu lashed out at Clem most heavily, but also realized he was out of line. In the days following he's made efforts to include Clem in his musings and thoughts. He too understands being a foreigner among your own people, and wishes to mend the bridge he nearly broke.
Clem is the first to catch him joking. Sivu feels Clem is safe to do so with, due to their shared age.
Family Ties
- Father - name unknown
- Siblings - Brothers, deceased.
Religious Views
Is a firm believer in the Sharo'Ka pantheon, specifically as it pertains to Tezcalipoca.
Social Aptitude
Tends to speak as though he hates everyone. Would rather get a job done than talk about plans. Is constantly scrutinizing and suspect of strangers. Loves animals and plants, but doesn’t show it when others are around.
Mannerisms
His standard tone always makes him sound disinterested in any conversation. He is extremely shrewd and would rather listen than talk.
His tone, however, is not because he is disinterested, but rather because he is used to speaking with a language that carries meaning for him. When speaking Feroxi he realizes his tone is missing a great deal of nuance.
Hobbies & Pets
K’Ballo is his steed.

History
The two saved one another's lives. In return they choose to travel together, if not to save the colony but also themselves.

Quotes & Catchphrases
"It's not your job to ask questions. It's your job to take care of the goods."Sivu's answer to most questions he doesn't want to answer.
Avalissa: "So what? We simply turn our eyes blind to his cowardice and do nothing? What about our morals Sivu? What about our responsibility to one another?" Sivu: "Responsibility? What about our responsibility to each other, Lisa? What about what we're supposed to be doing? Isn't that more important that what some backwater village squabble?" Avalissa: "..." Sivu: "Don't forget why we're doing this. Some things are more important. Remember that next time you want to make friends with our employees." -Sivu and Avalissa outside the mayor's house at Bend River, Gusterus 9th, 130 FE.
