Classic Tau Ethereal

The Ethereals (or Aun in Tau) are the leaders of Tau society. They arrived into the Tau life during a siege between the Tau of the plains (later known as the Fire Caste) and the Tau of the city of Fio'taun (later known as the Earth Caste. They somehow managed to make the Tau negotiate and told them of the Greater Good and how they should each strive for this goal. Their power over their fellow Tau is such that an Ethereal could tell a Tau to die and that Tau would do so quickly and gladly. The Adeptus Mechanicus would give much to learn the secret of the Ethereal's power.
