Taiev is an ancient Kaldorei, with a charisma and elegance in keeping with her age. While she can be both witty even impish, she carries herself with the cold precision and ancient elegance of a statue of ice and moonlight. She is coldly compelling, rather than truly beautiful.

When she speaks of her past, its often of the Third War, and the desperate defence of the World Tree. Badly injured during Archimonde's final assault, Taiev has spent much time since trying to come to terms with her place in the world.

The Old Forest
Taiev is truly ancient, even for a Kaldorei. She does not appear in the Kaldorei histories, and if she played any role in the catastrophic events of the Sundering and the War of the Ancients, only she knows.

The Third War
With the return of the Burning Legion, Taiev heeded the Call to Arms and went to war, fighting valiantly in scores of brutal but ultimately insignificant skirmishes under the trees of her beloved Kalimdor. As the Burning Legion closed in, she stood with her Sisters in defence of Mount Hyjal, trying desperately to halt Archimonde's assault.

After Hyjal
Unlike most of her kin, Taiev knew that the phyrric victory at Hyjal was little more than a brief respite. The Legion would not be so easily defied. Hoping to find strong leadership and a vision for the future she travelled to Teldrassil. But before long, the darkness crept back amongst the trees, and the Cenarion turned upon itself. Disgusted, Taiev left the imperfect sanctuary of Teldrassil behind.

Rumours of Dark Things
Even as she joined the Silvereye and rose to leadership within the Circle, dire rumour swirled about her. Though she earned a measure of trust, it was clear that few had faith that she would be strong enough of will and purpose to avoid the pitfalls that had swallowed the Highbourne

Proudly upon a Sinister Path
And yet, somehow, Taiev has remained upon the path, combining bitter reason with an icy compassion and willingness to stand with any with purity of achievement, regardless of the darkness of their heart. Merging her utter confidence in victory with an icy charisma and a willingness to wield any weapon, Taiev is the ultimate radical - inhumanly determined and seeking the decisive advantage that will arm her people for victory in the inevitable conflict.
