The Tau Empire is tolerated by the Imperium in the same way as abhumans, Blood Axes and Eldar: good for trade but to be destroyed without mercy whenever necessary.
This semi-acceptance has led to Tau diplomats having residencies on the major worlds of the Imperium. Necromunda is no exception. A Fire Warrior pathfinder team accompanied an Earth Caste scientist downhive on a joint expedition with representatives of House Helmawr.
Disaster struck the Tau-Human band and the only survivor was the Shas'ui known as Clearsky. Unable to return uphive following the death of the Helmawr operatives, Clearsky now works in Sector B67, selling his skills with his unique weaponry to gang and Guilder alike.
My 40k has a less xenophobic vibe than official canon so wanted the major alien races represented - I have Orks and Eldar, so thought it would be fun to include a Tau in the Hireling Agency. One second hand eBay purchase later and here's Clearsky.
