► EXPLANATION: Taako's entire personality is hugely impacted by his love for his sister and their growing up together; this is demonstrated in canon by his personality before he remembers her being much more aloof and closed off, while, when he does remember her, he actually displays empathy and even kindness. The inversion of this love is based on a canon scene in which he recalls Lup's existence, and realizes that a friend of his betrayed him to erase those memories of her; he has a meltdown, nearly killing the one responsible before he's finally talked down. That anger and loss of hope will define him as a Harbinger, and he inflicts it on others in turn, spreading his despair.
► FAMILIAR: A phoenix. Given it's a huge predatory bird, it'll be capable of doing all the things they can already do, and it will be capable of giving those who touch its feathers severe burns.
► POWER: The ability to manipulate the bonds between people and objects. He will be capable of either suppressing those bonds-- forcing people to be unable to recall their loved ones in some capacity, either just erasing aspects of them or locking them away entirely-- or of forming intense artificial bonds between others and himself to make people serve him.
