I suggest you reconsider your decision. But don’t take too long, I’m not a patient man.
Character Notes
Trained as a Federation Space Captain, Del Tarrant deserted the service and became a mercenary until joining up with Blake’s crew. Because of his training and previous life style he has a tendency towards giving orders and expecting them to be obeyed. This naturally leads to tension with Avon – but when, as so often happens, they face danger together Tarrant fights shoulder to shoulder with Avon – and enjoys it.
Tarrant is young, headstrong, brave, reckless and eager for excitement – ideal qualities in a freedom fighter (though not appreciated by Vila).
