## **Relationships**

### **Allies**

#### Trojan Pirates

##### Long John Magnum

Just like all the other members of the crew (most likely with the exception of Stoner), Taurus was forced to join the crew by Magnum. He doesn't seem to have respected or even liked his captain, as when Magnum was arrested by Captain Everest after his ultimate defeat at the hands of Duros and Ragnar, Taurus didn't seem to care.

#### The Eight Flames

After his crew's defeat at the hands of the Devil's Luck Pirates Taurus, along with Humphrey and Malaise, joined the remnants of the Eight Flames on their journey back to the Oasis. It's largely unknown what he thinks of them personally, but he seems to prefer them to the Devil's Luck Crew.

### **Enemies**

#### Devil's Luck Pirates

Taurus and Humphrey were defeated by William and Pearl of the Devil's Luck Pirates in the second round of the Davy Back Fight. It is unlikely that Taurus felt any personal animosity towards them, but he did behave very aggressively towards them and preferred the company of the Eight Flames to going along with the pirates.

## **History**

### Before the current storyline

Next to nothing is known about Taurus' life before the current storyline. At some point in the past, Taurus was forced join the Trojan Pirates led by Captain Long John Magnum, where after he took part in several Davy Back Fights on Magnum's behalf.

### Episode 31: Davy Back Fight

Taurus makes his first appearance in the story alongside the rest of his crew when they are met by the Devil's Luck Pirates shortly after the latter group makes their return from Planet Duros. He is introduced to the main crew by his captain as he's going through all the members of his crew. Taurus growls at the pirates and spits at their feet. He is present during the first round of the subsequent Davy Back Fight between the two crews, watching on as their teams compete against each other.

Taurus later takes part in the second event, teaming up with Humphrey against William and Pearl in a mine cart race. During the race Taurus jumps into his opponents' cart and headbutts William so hard that he falls off and has to use Geppo to make it back on. Taurus is hit by cannonballs soon after and falls unconscious for the rest of the race. When the ending of the tracks turns out to be missing, the unconscious Taurus is saved by William and carried to safety. He then later wakes up.

### Episode 32: Stony Silence

After the defeat of Long John Magnum, Taurus is found sneaking around by Bullet. She holds him up by his collar as he struggles. She then asks the others what they should do with him. William comments that he can go with the Eight Flames alongside the rest of his former crewmates if he wants to. Taurus seems to agree and leaves with them.

Following everything that has happened, Taurus is currently travelling together with the remnants of Eight Flames as well as Bullet, Humphrey and Malaise.

## **Trivia**

* Taurus is entirely capable of speaking normally, but intentionally chooses not to. The reasons for this are unknown.
