Datak Tarr is the head of Defiance's underworld and runs everything from gambling and weapons smuggling to organized crime. He owns a stake in many of the businesses that make up the part of Defiance known as the Hollows. He frequently acts on his Castithan nature by taking every advantage to manipulate people for his own agenda. He serves as the right hand to Mayor Amanda Rosewater, but is not particularly loyal to her. He is the biggest supplier of hardware and mining equipment in town. He believes the town should align itself with the Votan Collective and has negotiated with them in arms deals on behalf of the city.Background: One of the founding fathers of Defiance. Datak Tarr is married to Stahma. Datak was born in the slums of their homeworld and was able to scheme his way onto an Ark, gaining passage as payment for a gambling debt, despite being a member of the lowest caste, Shanje Liro. Datak has used brute force and cunning to establish his business around Defiance. Stahma admired Datak's instincts when they met, but she harbors ambitions of her own. Datak longs for legitimacy and a better future for his family, including his son Alak. Show less «
