History: Not much is known about this Sin'dorei, but it is a fact that she is an ally of Nikolaos the Blood Knight, Virgos the Shaman, and the guild The Shadow of Paragon. Her father, Sir Mercruceo Morntreader, is a retired ambassador for Silvermoon City; her mother, Aviana Septentrio Morntreader, an assistant innkeeper for Falconwing Square. Her childhood was a happy one even though chaos and destruction often swirled around the globe. Mercruceo was called to duty on several occasions, leaving Taceo and Aviana alone for months at a time. As her mother kept herself occupied with keeping the inn in order, Taceo spent her time playing with her childhood friends, Nikolaos and Laceraito, who lived nearby. The trio enlisted together when they became of age, taking up the roles of a Hunter and Blood Knights. Training side-by-side brought Taceo and Nikolaos to realize their love for one another which in turn brought the announcement of future [but distant] engagement upon the dawning of the Burning Crusade.
By the time of the Wrath of the Lich King in the year 28, Taceo had risen to become an ambassador for the Horde and an acknowledged explorer. With working alongside her guildmates of The Shadow Paragon as well as Nikolaos, she gained the strength and focus on becoming not just a dedicated healer, but also a rather determined retribution paladin (and in the seasons soon after, a protection paladin). Also during this time, she and Nikolaos lost touch with Laceraito and assumed she had been lost somewhere in Outland. Once they had come to terms with the loss of their childhood friend, Laceraito emerged as a Death Knight, much to their dismay. Then, several months after their re-acquaintance, Laceraito disappeared once again, leaving Taceo and Nikolaos to continue pillaging and training as they had before.
The armored steed she summons for traveling is "Noctem" and the large albino dragon she beckons for flight is "Lucius," both of whom tote her backpacks as to keep her shoulders and back free of burden. She strikes as the ‘lawful good,’ actually oblivious to her desire for power and domination.
Personality: Taceo is somewhat of a two-sided character; she can be kind to someone, and then absolutely loathsome towards another. While around those she knows, she is light-hearted, sometimes bubbly and outgoing; but most of the time, she keeps to herself unless something has to be said or done. Most of the time, she is read as stuck-up; often cheeky, quiet, reserved and sarcastic. She is nice enough, however, to sometimes buff others as she strolls past or give an answer to those in desperation.
Appearance: Vivid emerald eyes peer out from underneath thick, straight black locks that frame this beauty's face. Her fair skin, due to long periods of completing training missions as a Blood Knight, has become tan from the sun. During the evening hours, she can sometimes be seen emitting an eerie ghost-like glow. From head to toe, she is clad in mismatched armor made from cloth, chainmail and plate. Two silver studs and an emerald gem sparkle in each of her tall pointed ears as three rings adorn her fingers (a pure truesilver one on her left ring finger, and two on her right, one of which bears her jewelcrafting signature). Usually perched on her shoulder or clucking at her heels is a small grey hen which she refers to as "Zoom." Hanging from her belt is a lightweight mining pick, as well as a satchel full of palm-sized bottles which softly clink against each other when she runs.
Quirks:
- First lvl 80 character; 3rd Horde character created.
- One of the founding members of the guild The Shadow of Paragon.
- Her first and middle name in Latin means "silent summer," as her last name could translate to she who treads the morning.
