Tanis is the firstborn of all man in Other Earth. In the start of the series he was completely dedicated to Elyon. He was a great poet and fighter who was dangerously interested in the histories. He was determined to go to the Black Forest and wipe the out Shataiki. He went to the black forests and was tempted by Teeleh to drink the water. This unleashed the Shataiki which destroyed the old ways of the tribe's life. It is unknown what happened to Tanis in this gap but it is known that he became Quorong supreme leader of the Horde and servant of Teeleh, the very being he originally sought to destroy. He lead the Horde in countless wars with the Forest Guard and later the Eramites. At the end of the series he watches his daughter die and realizes the errors of his ways and drowns for Elyon becoming a follower once more.
