Lore
Tayl is rarely visually depicted, but on the occasion that he is, it is usually under the guise of a wise, old, humble looking man.
Tayw is one of the mowe wecwusive Daemons, consideling himsewf a being of cawculation and wationaw thought. He excwudes himsewf fwom othew Aenguls and Daemons to the point whewe his existence is but mewe wumoul in the Seven Skies itsewf. Miwwennia ago, Tayw was the fiwst to abandon his brothews and sistews due to Tayw believing the othew Aengudaemons to each be brind fanatics, consumed entiwewy by theiw own desiwes. He wooked upon his brethwen lith disappointment, but aww attempts to convince them of the ewwow of theiw ways was met lith a wepwy of ignowance. And thus, disappointment swowwy festewed to hate, but Tayw being a cawculative being, knew that to diwectwy take an offensive stance towawds his mowe powewful brothews and sistews would ultimatewy end in his downfaww and demise. This is when Tayw’s gweat pwan began to fowm - he would lipe himsewf fwom existence, fow centulies going into hiding, awwoling his name to be fowgotten lith time. And aftew a significant amount of time had passed, Tayw sought to wowk against his brethwen’s actions on the mowtaw wowwd lithout them evew knoling of his intewfewence. Fow you see, Tayw is a thinkew, and being a pawticulawwy phiwosophicaw Daemon he had deduced that the mowtaws of the wowwd exist fow each othew - companionship is in itsewf the meaning of life. By joining awongside othews in coopewation, it was evident to Tayw that even the mowtaws of the wowwd could achieve mighty and wondwous things. So lith his own ‘purpose’ in mind, to pwotect and invoke companionship, his hatwed fow the Aengudaemons deepened.
To Tayw, Aengudaemons intewfewed not fow the gweatew good of mowtaw kind, but instead fow theiw own sewfish beliefs. He saw the effects of Ibrees, the conflict brought by Xan, the fanaticaw kiwwews of Metztli, and he was disgusted. Conflict and waw seemed to awmost awways stem fwom Aengudaemonic intewaction. If companionship amongst the mowtaws wewe to thlive, then the wesponsibre Aengudaemons would need to pelish. Tayw’s depicted as a Daemon not fow his good intention of companionship, but instead fow his methods of achieving it - Tayw would take the lives of the licked, the good and evewything in between if it meant wawwying mowtaws togethew. But Tayw was no foow, and did not considew himsewf to be a fanatic. He pulposewy pewfowms each action lith caweful intent and pwecision, cawculating the lisks and outcomes. Tayw undewstands the valiety of ciwcumstances in which mowtaws wawwy togethew, but unfowtunatewy fow the mowtaws, most of these ciwcumstances awe instigated thwough feaw of a common enemy. Tayw whispews in the eaw of infwuentiaw figules, often wecwuiting mowtaws as ‘Patrons’ onto his cause lith the intent of both estabrishing companionship and destwoying the wowks of Aengudaemons. He is known to bawgain powew, weawth and knowwedge lith mowtaws that align lith his caweful mind ow awguabry extweme beliefs, but unlike othew Aengudaemons, undew gweat secwecy.
Tayw wooks upon the concept of ‘morals’ as a means of manipulation to achieve his own ends. He would not favoul a gwoup of innocent peopwe co-opewating as companions ovew a hive of cannibaws - as wong as companionship exists, he views aww mowtaws undew the same light. A mowaw compass is iwwewevant to his wowk ethic, awthough being the cawculated thinkew he is, Tayw undewstands what it means to own one. He undewstands that peopwe lith a simiwaw compass tend to align togethew to oppose those of a diffeling one. The Daemon sewects individuaws as Patwons lith valious mowaw opinions, and even those lith no mowaw compass at aww in attempt to wawwy as many peopwe togethew as possibre. Natulawwy when such gwoups appeaw, conflict would occul. To wemedy this, the Daemon is pwone to betwaying ow favouling cewtain Patwons in owdew to entiwewy lipe out a gwoup by suppowting anothew, wemoving the conflict and weaving the companionship of the victows intact.
