Biography

King Tauri, ruler of Navarre, is the father of three sons: Halden, Alic and Aaric. In 627 AU, during his reign, the province of Tyrrendor attempted to secede from Navarre. The rebellion, led by Fen Riorson, was ultimately crushed, and Fen was executed. Before his death, however, Fen accused King Tauri and all those who came before him of being part of an unspeakable conspiracy. Years later, Tauri appeared at Basgiath on July 1 to celebrate Reunification Day. There, he congratulated Violet Sorrengail for bonding with two dragons and praised Duke Lindell, Xaden and Liam Mairi’s foster father after the Apostasy, as a loyal man.

Physical Description

King Tauri is described with a wide, toothy smile, a mustache, and striking green eyes shared by all three of his sons. His only appearance in Fourth Wing is during the Reunification Day celebration at Basgiath War College, where he wears a purple sash draped over his doublet and a chest full of medals, despite never having fought in battle.

Relationships

Halden Tauri King Tauri’s eldest son and the current heir to the throne of Navarre.
Alic Tauri King Tauri’s middle son, Alic, joined the Riders Quadrant but was killed during his Threshing by Xaden Riorson.
Cam Tauri / Aaric Greycastle King Tauri’s youngest son, Camlaen—using the alias Aaric Graycastle—joins the Riders Quadrant in secret. His father believes he is away on his twentieth birthday tour, unaware that Cam has discovered signs of a hidden threat in Navarre. After noticing his guards carrying alloyed daggers, he evades them to seek answers at Basgiath, hoping his father won’t find out until after Threshing, since “dragons don’t even answer to kings.” During the Battle of Basgiath, General Lilith Sorrengail recognizes him and reveals that King Tauri has been searching for his missing son. Camlaen is second in line to the throne of Navarre.
