History[]
Tara King was a young secret agent who worked in partnership with John Steed of The Avengers following the departure of his former partner Emma Peel. Younger and more inexperienced than Mrs. Peel, Tara was hand picked to partner Steed by his mysterious superior, Mother. Both brave and resourceful, she proved a definite asset to Steed's operation.
