Sha'vastos
Sha'vastos is a Tau Commander and skilled Tau Battlesuit pilot and a member of The Eight, Farsight's elite honor guard.[1]
The first Tau to be fitted with a Puretide Neurochip, Sha'vastos faced lobotomy when the Ethereal Council ordered the removal of all Puretide Neurochips after they had been found wanting. Sha'vastos was saved this fate by the intervention of Commander Farsight.[2] By the Arkunasha War the elderly Fire Warrior was one of the finest Tau soldiers Farsight knew, and joined his growing corps of officers.[2] His prototype neurochip suffered rapid degeneration after the battle, however, so Farsight had him spirited away in a stasis pod until he could find a cure. Many decades later, O'Vesa was able to recalibrate the neurochip and reawaken the old warrior.[1]
