Tara

Working in the past as a Cerberus prime executive for the Illusive Man, Tara fulfilled her role in carrying out Cerberus plans to mercenaries and providing key information on the Illusive Man's interests. No one fully knows Tara's story about working for Cerberus, some don't even know she worked for them at all. Unknown reasons caused Tara to leave Cerberus. She continued to carry out her role as an assistant by joining The Ulyssey, offered by her fathers childhood friend, Jeffrey Young. Constantly away from home, Tara learned valuable lessons in gaining friendship, easily working her way into finding out who people are, gradually gaining respect from them and learning to be their friend. Later on it's found out that The Illusive Man and Tara have a strong hatred for each-other, most likely due to an issue causing their original friendship to fail.

Tara serves as an assistant for Jeffrey Young, providing him with key information much like the Illusive Man, and engaging in conversation at times. She spends most of her time in the ships cockpit.

Upon being on The Ulyssey for a few months, Tara grew close to the ships leading and father figure, Young. Tara views him as highly as her own father, nearly calling him dad at times when she missed her own father. Young views Tara the exact same way, protecting her and viewing her as his only daughter that's left.

Tara was one of the first captured from the ship, after Solaris and Ebrown returned from The Alliance attack on the Citadel, The Alliance raided the ship and killed most of the crew, taking Tara in the process, escaping to a base with her. After both commanders got a lead on her location and found her, they saw Lorrone and Harbinger, leaving a question that can never be answered...why were they together? After Tara is rescued, later on it's discovered that Harbinger mentally tortured her while she was locked up by Alliance soldiers, physically tortured by them to tell them about the Collectors and The Ulyssey.

Tara proved to be a valuable source after being rescued, she told commanders about Sigma after hearing Lorrone talking about it to Harbinger, letting them find and kill Lorrone. Tara then on healed from her torturing on the base, returning to her normal activites. While Solaris was making deals with The Illusive Man she tried to convince him otherwise, telling him Cerberus was nothing but a terrorist organization and that they shouldn't be trusted with anything. Her plan failed after The Illusive Man convinced Solaris that they didn't know what they were talking about, and Solaris accepted the offer, heading off to kill Tillery. While the crew was on Titan, A Collector ship shifted into jump drive and flew to The Ulyssey, boarding it and killing crew members that would not comply, capturing the rest. This time, Tara stayed in the cockpit where security devices were improved, covering herself from the rest of the ship and shutting it down to get the remaining collectors out, she couldn't save the crew though.

After the main crew came back from Titan they found Tara locked in the cockpit, crying to herself. She told the commanders what happened and how she stayed alive. They held a funeral for Raiden, a fallen member and everyone had broken out over the fact that Solaris trusted Cerberus and led them to get the crew killed, Tara however confronted Solaris and told him that it wasn't his fault for Raidens death and that he can't blame himself for it, because that's not what everyone got mad about. She then inspired him to fix his mistakes, find the crew and finally finish off the collectors. Solaris left the room proud, talking to each and every crew member, understanding that they were mad at him and telling them he will never do it again.

Later on, Tara is found crying in the debrief room because a colony was raided by The Collectors and her parents were taken, the ship is later raided by The Collectors again but they are fended off, only killing a few of the crew and failing at an attempt to capture the rest, Mordin is among the ones who die in the second invasion. Harbinger makes his first major appearance on The Ulyssey when Solaris heads down to Raidens room, taking his death in and noticing his mistakes, he takes a few drinks and sees Harbinger staring him down across the room, Harbinger exchanges some threatening conversation, telling Solaris he finally found him and that it's all his fault for everyones deaths, he shoots Solaris in the leg but is nowhere to be found when Ebrown comes upon hearing the gunshot. He calls Tara to help Solaris and she shows up, Harbinger appears again but this time in Tara's body, telling them that he had been torturing her for a long time and is now finally finishing her off. She holds both commanders at gunpoint, holding the gun to Ebrown's head both commanders panic and plea for Tara to take control again, she breaks out of the control but not fully, only enough to put the gun to her head and pull the trigger.

Tara lies dead and Medge arrives on the scene, pronouncing her dead seconds after the penetration of the bullet. Ebrown breaks out in distress for the first time and yells to Harbinger as if he could hear him. A funeral is held for both Mordin and Tara, Ebrown continuously states that if only the lazarus project worked, they could bring Tara back to life. The Illusive Man confronts both commanders during the funeral via hologram and Ebrown yells at him furiously, blaming him for the death of his father and now Tara, the hologram is soon destroyed and Medge enters, saying that Sigma just opened a spot for the lazarus project, A light is seen and Tara is exported to Sigma, where she is taken in and preformed surgery, the last person to ever be used by the lazarus project, Lorrone being the first. Tara comes back to life and asks why the commanders chose her and Ebrown stated "You are worth it Tara, true I wanted to bring the others back as well but it only works on those still in a stable condition, as I also said your family to us..."

Tara and the commanders head back to The Ulyssey where the crew meets the shuttle carrying them, cheering for their success, at this moment it's confirmed that the relationships between the crew and Solaris improved. Medge later tells Solaris that he received information from a tracking device on a collector he clipped. They head out and find Young at a Cerberus base, Tara comes in at the end and saves Young by hacking the Cerberus system, proving that she had past affiliations with the faction. All escape.

Tara confronts Ebrown, who now begins to talk more than ever and asks him why he was in such distress, and finally broke out to who he really was after her death. Ebrown is speechless but Tara answers for him, kissing him on the lips and walking out. At this time a strong relationship is formed between Ebrown and Tara, most unsure if they are dating or not.

In the suicide mission, Tara is confronted by Ebrown who gives her a quote from his past Alliance teammate Allison. He kisses her on the forehead before departing from the ship. They return with three losses, Medge, Unknown and T-35. Tara has been observed showing the "Big sister" attitude around T-35 and growing a strong bond with him, the two close and T-35 remaining quiet after her death, afterwards showing a great deal of happiness when she was brought back. The two most likely grew close due to being in the cockpit together, she showed T-35 things that Humans did, him wanting to be like a Human. Tara never spoke of T-35's death, never even acknowledging it, most likely in shock at the time or too sad to do so.
