Sub-Commander Torchstar[1b]
Torchstar is a Tau Sub-Commander and skilled Battlesuit pilot. A member of The Eight, Commander Farsight's elite honor guard and war council, Torchstar is the youngest member of the group and a defector from the Tau Empire. She is known as an impetuous Vior'lan whose affinity with fire has seen her immolate hundreds of the Tau's foes.[1b]
Torchstar is noted to have fire tattoos across her body,[1a] and wears her auburn hair in a long braid with three metal rings to symbolise her greatest victories.[2c] Before defecting to the Farsight Enclaves she lived in Gel'byrn City on Dal'yth[2b] with her bond-mates were 'Fio'Rabal and Rivertell.[2a]
