==Bio==
Tazaerich is an elf, ok?  Just because he was born and raised in the Parity Lake district of Flint doesn't make him any less of an elf than those hoity-toity hippies out in the wilds!  Maybe he can't tell you what it sounds like when the wind whispers fae secrets through the branches of the forests, but he can tell you the best place to get a sausage with probably-pork meat at 3 AM* and where to get a cheap beer afterwards!   ....the point is, Tazaerich is proud of his elven heritage, but he loves the city and sees no reason why elves shouldn't treat urban environments as naturally as woodland ones. </br> &nbsp; <br/>
He also speaks Primordial with a thick Brooklyn accent, as do many elves.  It's just the way of things.<br/>&nbsp; <br/>
In any case, he tends to be drily sarcastic as a means of self-expression, and his personality could be generously derived as abrasive.  He's all too happy to pick an argument at the drop of a hat.  However, Tazaerich is loyal to his friends, once he makes them, and views arguing as a way to express his friendship. He has come to enjoy the company, especially, of Assistant Chief Inspector-Sergeant Berg and Constable Dar'ana (though he would likely only admit it under extreme duress).  Taz made the acquaintance of the eladrin 'terrorist' Hana "Gale" Soliogn several months ago in the course of the squad's investigations, and the two have become something of an established 'item'.** <br/>&nbsp; <br/>
Taz, as he's become known in his squad, has settled into life with the RHC well, busting perps with one-liners and happily sniping enemies from a safe distance.  His official RHC record makes notes of his surprising tolerance of the RHC's coffee (extra strong, one sugar) and gourmet-level expertise in desserts, due to his sweet tooth.  (His preferred donuts, also noted in his record, are chocolate cake, Beaumont Creme, and chocolate-dipped Danoran crullers.)  Taz is a founding member of the up-and-coming RHC branch of the Docker's Union, and absolutely did not perform a comedic monologue at the office talent show.<br>&nbsp; <br/>
Since the 'rampage' of the giant golem through Flint, Taz has doubled down on his RHC career.  After being knighted by King Aodhan, he took and passed his RHC promotion exams.  The thought of Inspector Tazaerich has stunned those who have known him for a long time, but Taz has somehow managed to maintain his anti-authority attitude despite ''becoming'' authority.  It's practically Zen.
<br><br>''*It's Sharga's House of Meat in Parity Lake, for the record.''
<br><br>''**....shut up, Dar'ana.''
