## Introduction (Original Timeline)

Taffy Bhatt is a woman in her early thirties who came to settle in Saint Mary Vincent about ten years earlier. A chronic insomniac, Taffy could often be seen riding her bicycle around town in the wee hours, seemingly on the hunt for *something*, though even she herself was unsure of what. Though she wasn't known to do a lot of socializing, she did occasionally spend time with the weirdos hanging out at the Walmart loading dock, and had a passably social relationship with her co-corkers at The Emporium of Curious Goods, where she would occasionally read fortunes for some spending money.

After finding Millicent Battersby, Taffy believed she was set on the right path to realize her ambitions, and began to get herself more involved with the strange happenings of her little town. After attracting the notice of Nana Hazard, Taffy and Millicent were invited to join P.I.E. and become the founding members of Hazard Squad.

After the events of the Hunt Ball, Taffy has decided to take some time away from Hazard Squad to travel to Novaya Zemlya, Russia with a newly freed vampire named Madam Blenka.

## Conversations

### With Jarsten Kimblew

* Sharrie Kimblew isn’t actually “Sharrie Kimblew”, neither is she Jarsten’s mom. She was just a spiritual “seeker” drifting from guru to guru until she accidentally got herself wrapped up in some sort of strange cult. As she was making her escape, she happened to see Jarsten and stole him away with her. She and Jarsten then drifted around the country until the incident at Hazard House ten years ago, when she finally decided she’d had enough spiritualism and it was time to settle down. Sharrie hasn’t given Jarsten any details, since they are technically still in hiding, but he does intend to find out where he came from someday. That’s kind of embarrassing, so maybe don’t tell anybody, okay?

* Everybody thinks the cop Erin Diskin quit her job with the FBI so that she could come home and care for her ailing mother, but in reality, she was “retired” after she proved that a year’s long human trafficking case was actually just an overzealous effort by the C.I.A. to recruit clairvoyant teenagers. Jarsten knows all of this because, before she got sick, Erin’s mom Olivia was High Priestess in the Coven, so she was at the shop a lot. That, and nobody notices when Jarsten is listening in to their conversations. Is that a talent?

### With Wadim Yonescu

* Back when he was a young human, Wadim’s entire village was wiped out by a roving vampire clan who were taking advantage of the fact that the peasants were abandoning entire villages and becoming nomadic in order to avoid the oppressive taxes being levied on them by Austria. No one thought to look for them. The weak were drained and the young and healthy were turned, then subjugated by their masters. They were forced to participate in the raids, as well as brutal wars against other vampire clans. Wadim and a few others were able to escape when a more powerful rival clan attacked them years later, killing the vampire who originally turned him. Due to his experiences, Wadim is staunchly anti-clan.
* Hugo once spent essentially an entire year in a personal submarine in the Atlantic Ocean trying to find an immortal who had been sealed up and dumped there. When he found and rescued him, he acquired the necessary information and then sealed him back up and sunk him again because “he was kind of a dick”. Hugo reasoned that this was okay, since he had attached a buoy at the location and included a GPS tracker in the box, then filed a detailed report with P.I.E. in case anyone was looking for the guy. Wadim has told you this in confidence and would appreciate it if you didn’t share it.
