Taanish

"I was a useless fool who didn't dare fight. I let myself be used by the scorpions, and my sister...I failed her...Please, my final request in this life: his saber...let me see you break it...I beg you..."

- Taanish's last words

Taanish is a former member of the Sand Scorpions.

Biography
Taanish joined the Scorpions in order to feed his family. He and his sister, Pabi, were forced to work for a sadist named Igler. Taanish abandoned the Scorpions and made his way to Tabri's Encampment, declaring his intention to surrender. While Venter was suspicious, a hero/group of heroes went into the sands to hear Taanish's story. They agreed to help him in rescuing his sister.

Taanish and the hero(es) found Pabi being attacked by Igler, who mortally wounded her. Taanish rushed to intervene, but was mortally wounded himself, and while the hero(es) slew Igler, neither Taanish nor Pabi could be saved. With his dying breath, Taanish lamented how he'd allowed the Scorpions to use him, and requested that the hero(es) break Igler's saber. They obliged, and Taanish died.
