History:
Shas'o Kor'vre Ke'lshan Shovah R'myr was born on the sept Ke'lshan. He was trained for combat at a very young age when it was found that he was not only reading the plans that his father had around but changing them so there would be a chance for escape and less casualties. He was trained from the age of 6 Tau'cyr to 9 when it was apparent that he was teaching his teachers, not the other way around. He was sent to Sept Tau for further training. There he was known as one of the best in the school in his training. It was noticed that he would prefer to have fewer casualties and have the enemy win the battle. Try as his teachers might he always kept an escape plan ready. In the school at the age of 14 Tau'cyr he fought a computer generated battle against Commander Farsight. The battle was supposed to show him the importance of a strong attack and the nessessity of sometimes putting all of your troops on the line. In the battle Commander Farsight did an all out assault. Because he was playing against a youngster he didn't think it out. Shas'ui (as his title was at the time) completely annihialated half of Commander Farsight's troops. In the end he lost but destroyed over 3/4 of the enemy army and only lost half of his. At this time it was decided to promote him and send him back to Ke'lshan for his assignment. Under Commander Farsight's request his new name was Shas'El Ke'lshan Shovah aquiring Commander Farsight's name.
In Ke'lshan he was put in charge of a Kau'ui to train to help out in the protection of the fleets while patrolling the Perdus rift area in this area. There was no escape so he had to change tactics completly. After much training he and his Kau'ui were assigned to a ship to protect. Not much happened but then an Ethereal and some high ranking commanders of the Air Caste came on a flight to inspect the area. In the middle of the flight they were attacked by a group of Orks. The Orks hit the engines before the tau could even raise the shields. The Orks then tried to shoot through the shields but failed. In the end they decided to board the ship and then destroy it from the inside. Shas'El Ke'lshan Shovah sent all of his men to protect the entry way. The Orks came charging in and fell under the weaponry of the Tau. Soon the bodies piled up and began to block the entrance. One of the Orks used a large grenade (or something like that) that was inproperly designed. It had the effect of a sound wave but no explosion. It went straight forward and through the dead bodies everywhere. The Tau retreated to better ground. However Shas'El Ke'lshan Shovah was knocked unconcious by one of the flying bodies. When he came to he found himself stripped of his armor and gun and left for dead. He slowly got up. He found his bonding knife still under his shirt and drew it out. He made his way to the control room. There he saw the Ork chieftain standing over the dead bodies of his troops. In front of the cheiftain he saw the dead bodies of 2 of the Air Caste leaders. Drawing up all of his rage he drew his knife and sliced off the chieftain's head. Seeing their cheiftain dead and the rage in the eyes of this young Tau the remaining Orks retreated using their weapons for cover fire. The Orks retreated to their ship and flew away. The Ethereal had sent a message requesting aid and it later arrived. Shas'El Ke'lshan Shovah was awarded a new increase in rank and was also entered into the Air Caste as a hero. He was also given the name R'myr meaning long knife.
He was put in charge of another Kau'ui and started working under Commander Shadowsun to conquer the 3rd sphere worlds.
Shas'o Kor'vre Ke'lshan Shovah R'myr is known as the youngest to reach the commander level. Also because of his efforts he is the first to be a member in two Castes.
