Born out of a magical explosion that cost Ashley his magic, Taren was birthed out of a magical transferrence that freed No Crosses Count and Nocturnal from the Afterlife, effectively bringing them back from the dead. Ashley's price was the sacrifice of his magic, but Taren remains as the physical manifestation of that power. He's currently obsessed with Milkies, and carries alot of Ashley's old memories that involve times when Ashley's magic was the most prevalent. He's still a baby, but has the mind of someone much older than he is... and HATES being reminded that he's a child. Hates it.
