Name: Shas'Vre Shovan Kauyon
Race: Tau
Sept: None ("Shovan"😉
Homeworld: Farsight Enclaves
Affiliation: Farsight Enclave
Rank: Vre (Hero)
Gear:
Kauyon often wears the standard Firewarrior armour, although he has been given training on the XV15 Stealth Suit and uses it on occasion. He has not, however, been given training on the XV8 Crisis Battle Suits or the XV-88 Broadside Battle Suit, mainly due to the Farsight Enclave's limited funds and number of Battlesuits. His main weapon varies depending on the nature of the mission, mainly pending between the Pulse Rifle and Pulse Carbine. He always carries a Pulse Pistol sidearm aswell as atleast 3 Photon Grenades. Other standard equipment include fragmention grenades, the Ta'lissera knife and a longer, unortodox short sword with which he engages in close combat or field works if he has to and a standard-issue binoculars. On Long-Range Recon missions he often carries entrenching tools, windshelters, axes, field rations and long range communication devices. On special purpose missions he may use explosives, marker lights, rail rifles, drone controls or similar exotic wargear.
His Firewarrior Armour is uniformly painted in maroon red and black to mimic Commander Farsight's Crisis Battlesuit, but he has, along with the men under his command, taken to painting their armour and weapons in cammoflauge colours during scouting missions or similarily, to match their environment.
Biography:
Kauyon is an 8th generation Farsight Tau, with his forefathers servitude ranging back to the first Hunter Cadre commadned by Commander Farsight, and for 8 generations his family has remained loyal to the Farsight cause and philosophy, that each Tau must choose a path of his own, and not blindly follow that of others, namely the Etherals. As such, he is undoubtedly loyal, yet not blindly so as with the regular Tau and their Etheral overlords, and has served under the Farsight Enclave as a Firewarrior since his maturity, and trained before that. A product of a completely militarised society uninhibited by civilian culture or influences, Kauyon knows nothing but the military way, and masters it with the discipline and efficiency only found in men that are raised to fight.
As his name hints, Kauyon is a Patient Hunter, and his role within the Farsight Enclave military reflects this as he has served as both a Pathfinder and a Stealth-suit bearer before his current position as the senior officer of a small scouting force compromised of 24 Firewarriors, 8 Pathfinders, 1 Pirhana, 1 Devilfish, 1 Orca Dropship, 2 Multi-Use Drone Squads and various weapons and equipment enabling them to establish and maintain a Run'Al, or Observation Post, as well as strike important strategical objectives in cue with the Farsight Enclaves limited manpower and specialised approach of warfare.
Kauyon himself can also act as a lone hunter on the field of battle, having been extensivly trained in Close Combat and Close Quaters Fighting aswell as infiltration, sabotage, Urban-and Guerilla Warfare. The rest of his small force follows the same pattern and are bonded in the customary Ta'Lissera, further increasing their ability to function as a self sufficient force behind enemy lines.
