Personality

Tav is a level-headed, optimistic man. According to Lila Bard, he is the most resilent out of the Night Spire crew. He also likes to laugh loudly.

Biography

In February 1820, when Lila Bard manages to seize the Copper Thief on her own, Tav, along with Vasry, applauds her for this accomplishment.

The Night Spire then heads to Sasenroche. There, the crew splits up, agreeing to meet up at the Inroads in the evening. At the Inroads, Alucard Emery announces to everyone that they will return to Red London because he has entered the upcoming Essen Tasch. Because Lila has never heard of the games, Tav, together with Vasry and Stross, explains them to her.

When the Night Spire crew arrives in London, it checks into the Wandering Road. Tav has to share a room with Lenos, Vasry, and Lila. Two nights before the tournament, Tav—alongside Stross, Vasry, and Lila—accompanies Alucard to the Setting Sun for a customary gathering of the local competitors and their entourages.

Trivia

• Tav comes from somewhere at the edge of the Maresh Empire. Because of that, the more he drinks, the less intelligible his accents becomes.
