A tabaxi biologist from a Thenican university who used to work on projects involving the streamlining of cloning raw meat for easier production without all the pesky need for livestock. The project was lost to the invasion and Taz found himself without a job living among the wreckage of Shetou's continent. Eventually opting to take a job as the most qualified to start a career in xenobiology.

He's generally lighthearted and isn't as stereotypically cat-like as one might expect or observe him being. He just knows people like it when he acts like a cat sometimes so he does so. Apparently this was a really successful social strategy for him when he was still in school so he just kept some of the behaviors for fun.

In the wake of the invasion he was unemployed since his project and its funding disappeared. He worked briefly on the study of the aliens that invaded, which gives him some level of qualification for the new role.
