Tara was one of five mercenaries (Crowley, Tara, Dave, Strayer and Dukov) hired by Allistair Tenpenny to infiltrate Fort Constantine and retrieve a suit of armor. Dukov, in a selfish attempt to increase his share of the reward, trapped Crowley, a ghoul, in a room packed with Ferals. Reports were that she was mauled by ghouls, but in reality, she reached the last chamber but lacked the key to unlock the door. She was shot by a robobrain, and her body remains here to this day.[1]
