[edit] Biography
Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.
Once, during a rainstorm, Tael and his sister Tatl befriended the abandoned Skull Kid. The three got along very well, even though the Skull Kid's mischievous side would at times surface. Tael appeared to pay no heed to the Skull Kid's increasing menace, even when he stole Majora's Mask from the Happy Mask Salesman.
However, when the three meet upon Link in the Lost Woods, Tael is separated from his sister and, being in the company of a changed Skull Kid, finally understands the Skull Kid's true motives. When Tatl and Link confront the Skull Kid at the top of the Clock Tower on the Final Day, he tells them about the Four Giants, the only ones with the power to stop the Moon from destroying Termina.
When Link calls the Four Giants, he is reunited with Tael. However, here, it is evident that he has become stronger, as he calms Tatl down when she's afraid, mirroring Tatl's behavior during the rainstorm.
Spoiler warning: Spoilers end here.
[edit] Etymology
The siblings' names appear to be a play on "tattle-tale", due to their childlike mischief.
