Tara King

Tara King was a secret agent who worked for the Ministry and was friends with Jo Grant.
==Biography==
Jo and Tara went to school together. Tara was employed as an assistant to an eccentric freelance gentleman adventurer working for the Ministry, which Jo thought of as a job similar to her own, though she looked down on Tara's intelligence work as "swanning about in vintage cars, doing judo and wearing a selection of not-very-convincing wigs."
When Jo was in London, she stayed with Tara. At the time, Tara was getting lots of telephone calls because agents higher-up in the Ministry were getting into trouble. (PROSE: )
At some point she, along with John Steed, may have had lunch with one or more of the TV Terrors while they were hunting for autographs. (GAME: )
