History
Taru grew up in the mountain village of Kyóno, a village steeped in ancient ninja tradition.

Taru started training in the ninja arts when he was 5 years old and by the time he was 16 was given the rank of Master, a feat never accomplished by someone so young, he also trained in the samurai arts so he could be 'versatile'.

He joined the Rebellion when Hayden went to the village to give an offer to the village that their way of life would be protected and the war would not reach them should one of their masters join him to fight for his cause. Taru was the only one swayed by his words and believed in Hayden's vision so agreed to join his ranks. He was given General status within the Rebellion shortly after joining as Hayden trusted Taru's skills having heard about how good Master ninja were.

Taru tends not to lead men as he prefers to work alone and claims the soldiers slowed him down and ruined any stealthy option although he is accompanied by Getz and Nar, two other ninja from the village that serve as his right hand men.

Abilities
Taru's fighing style when properly confronted is very fast and precise, using his Katana as his melee weapon and his Shurikens as a ranged weapon.

Throughout the story Taru is only properly fought once whereas Getz and Nar are fought three times, one of those times being alongside Taru.

He does not possess many abilities as most of his attacks are normal style attacks. His abilities include Sharp Rain, where he leaps into the air and launches a barrage of shurikens at the team, Blinding moon, which hits a team member for less damage than his normal attacks but has a 75% chance of blinding the member attacked with the effect lasting 6 turns rather than 3, and finally Shinobi's Call, which lowers a team members health to 1 point regardless of defensive spells cast on them but this ability cannot kill a member if it hits them again when they are already on 1 HP.

Upon defeating Taru he will use his Last Breath ability which deals an immense amount of damage and if all active team members die after this attack then you will get a game over, however if at least one survives a cut scene will follow.
