Dramatis personae
Lord T'o'T'o
The An’Thean T’au have very few Ethereals, and as such they are generally reluctant to risk them in combat situations. Lord T’o’T’o is the exception to the rule, being a specialist in battlefield oratory. While he is no great master of combat himself, he is unsurpassed in the ability to inspire troops to exceed their natural limitations, and his knack of being present at just the right moment has swung many a battle in favour of the Deepreefers. Unusually for a T’au, he believes that there is sometimes value in standing one’s ground in the face of an assault, so can often be found on the front lines urging his troops to “hold the line”.
