Tauroneo is descended from a long line of Daein generals and was formerly one of the Four Riders of Daein, but resigned to become a lower-ranking general due to his age. In his supports with [[Rolf]], it is revealed that his wife and children left him after his eldest son, Josh, was left paralyzed in battle and Tauroneo began rigorously training his younger son to preserve his family's honor.
 
Tauroneo appears in [[Without a King|Chapter&nbsp;21]] as an enemy unit guarding the throne room. If Tauroneo is spoken to with [[Ike]], he realizes that Ike is the son of [[Greil]], and upon learning that Ike has no brothers, he surrenders because he wants to preserve Greil's fighting style; Ike then convinces Tauroneo to join forces with him instead. He accompanies the Crimean army for the rest of the war.

Tauroneo is a prepromoted general that joins Ike's group. As a general, he has extremely low mobility and struggles to keep up with mounts, especially with terrain. Due to his high weight, not many units can shove him to compensate for his mobility, but he can in turn shove many other unmounted beorc units. He has good bases in health, strength, and defense; for a physical unit, he also has a respectable resistance base. Defensively he has no significant weaknesses, armor-effective weapons not doing much due to double weapon effectiveness. His base speed is extremely low for his join time and level, so he will not double much nor have much avoid. He has excellent weapon levels, with access to all swords and lances besides the Vague Katti; most notably, he can use silver forges which let him hit extremely hard despite not doubling. He can also use all 1-2 range lances, so he can have a productive enemy phase.

Tauroneo has excellent growths in strength, skill, and defense, and a decent resistance growth, ensuring he will be a hard-hitting tank. His speed growth is low, and while it can be boosted with the Knight Ward, it is not enough to salvage his low base speed. He is also extremely high-leveled, so despite his other good growths, he will not have much room to take advantage of them.

Tauroneo first appears in [[The Lost Heir|Part I, Chapter&nbsp;5]], acting as a guard to [[Pelleas]], along with [[Zihark]] and [[Jill]]. After the battle, he meets [[Micaiah]] and introduces her to Pelleas and [[Izuka]]. They then join forces and form the Daein Liberation Army. After liberating Terin, Izuka suggests they try liberating Umono Prison Camp to raise morale, but suggests using poison, which Micaiah and Tauroneo object to. Micaiah comes up with an alternate plan of having Tauroneo and many troops distract the guards while the Dawn Brigade infiltrate the prison. Tauroneo is no longer playable in Part I as a result.
 
Tauroneo does not appear in [[A Reason to Fight|Part III, Chapter&nbsp;6]] due to being Pelleas's personal guard. He next appears as a playable character in [[The Price|Part III, Chapter&nbsp;12]], helping push rocks onto [[Sanaki]]'s escorts.
 
In [[Blood Contract|Part III, Chapter&nbsp;13]], Tauroneo is present when Pelleas states that he must be killed to end the blood pact. If the option "Pass the burden onto another" is selected, Tauroneo complies and kills Pelleas. On a second playthrough onwards, if the option "Refuse his command" is picked, Tauroneo attempts to kill Pelleas but is stopped by Micaiah jumping in front of him. Either way, Tauroneo helps defend against the Apostle's Army, but is unsuccessful and the fighting is only stopped by the arrival of [[Kurthnaga]], who destroys a portion of the castle.
 
Tauroneo subsequently appears as a boss in [[From Pain, Awakening|Part III, Endgame]]. In Part IV, Tauroneo is forcibly assigned to the Hawk Army.

Tauroneo is a tier 2 general that is available on Micaiah's team on both parts of chapter 1-6, rejoins in 3-12 and 3-13, then is fully available in part 4 and endgame. His base stats are all around excellent for chapter 1-6, able to double most enemy units and deal heavy damage, and take almost no damage in return besides a single hammer knight. He has excellent weapon ranks, able to use all lances and axes available to him until endgame and having solid 1-2 range options. Path of Radiance Tauroneo cannot cap any stats without stat boosters, so Radiant Dawn Tauroneo would not benefit much outside of support bonuses. When he is next available in part 3, other units on the team will have caught up and he will stand out less. He still will have solid offense and excellent durability. While his mobility is low due to his class, his part 3 chapters are primarily defensive chapters so it does not hurt him much. In particular, he can hold the 3-12 chokepoint alone.

While his mobility is low due to his class, his Part III chapters are primarily defensive chapters so it does not hurt him much. In particular, he can hold the 3-12 chokepoint alone.


In part 4, Tauroneo will be far underlevelled due to being on Micaiah's team and having extremely low availability. He will need bonus experience and/or an early master crown to keep up. He has good growths in skill, speed, and resistance, and enough strength and defense growth to keep up. Part 4 is where his low mobility hurts the most, because he is forced onto Tibarn's team which has several forests and a swamp chapter. Tauroneo generally performs poorly on endgame, having an extremely low speed cap and resistance cap and low mobility.

Tauroneo generally performs poorly on endgame, having an extremely low speed cap and resistance cap and low mobility.


Tauroneo has innate Resolve which is an excellent skill, but generally overkill in part 1. Due to his availability, it is recommended to remove Resolve from him and give it to another Dawn Brigade unit that is present for the rest of part 1. It is not recommended to give Tauroneo any skills until part 3, again due to availability. Come part 3 and 4, skills like Adept take advantage of his decent speed for midgame and help him offensively.

Tauroneo has a thunder affinity which gives a defense and avoid boost. This is mostly overkill for him until part 4, and his availability makes it difficult to find a partner for him even in Micaiah's team. Other Part 1 units that appreciate the defense boost and have affinities with their own defense/avoid boost are ideal, including Jill, Nolan, and Zihark, though these units all have better options. Tauroneo is generally best left without a partner until part 4.

It seems that fate is cruel in lots of ways lately.<br>'''Tauroneo:''' Daein owes you, Zihark. Your efforts liberated our country. For that, you will always have our thanks.
