Sir Taric (formerly)

Aspect Host

He/Him

Demacia

Mount Targon

Taric is host to the Aspect of the Protector, wielding incredible power as Runeterra's guardian of life, love, and beauty. Shamed by a dereliction of duty and exiled from his homeland of Demacia, Taric climbed Mount Targon to find redemption, only to discover a higher calling among the stars. Imbued with the might of a celestial being, the “Shield of Valoran” now stands ever vigilant, against any who would threaten the people of this world.

Taric is the assigned protector of the entire planet and all that resides on it. He is willing to wade right through two armies to defend a flower, simply because it is the last of its kind. Likewise, Taric climbed Mount Targon seeking redemption for failing his men, and even his new role as the Aspect of Protection has hints of making amends.

Garen is his lifelong friend and they served in the military together. Compared to Garen, Taric was kind and compassionate even to the poor. When Taric would stand up for those of lower class, he would be punished. One day, such a thing came back to bite him and he was soon sentenced to be killed. Garen lessened his sentence to exile. When Demacian's are exiled, they are sent to Targon - essentially a place where little can survive for long. In short, death.
Taric scaled the mountain looking for redemption, but found a higher purpose. The Aspect of Protection claimed him and changed Taric into the protector of the world; he now sees beauty and all things.
The Protection Aspect also makes the gems that Taric uses to shield others, but also to admire.

Now immortal, but stopped aging at around 38
