## Biography

### Early life

Being the oldest of two and the only one with much of a memory of his father, there isn't much to Tavon's past. His father had served in the military while being around long enough to give his mother two sons. When Deiondre was only three years old was when they got word of their father dying in combat. Tavon was thirteen years old and found himself struggling to cope with this but his mother took it in stride. Setting the perfect example for what he should be. Growing up, he did his best in school and tried to find a job relatively soon. He was a frequenter in the party scene at that point which meant leaving his younger brother alone. If anyone asked Deiondre, he'd say that the two were inseparable but if you asked Tavon then he would simply tell you that Deiondre was his kid brother who over imagined the time they spent together. There was a ten year difference after all and Tavon had a life to live outside of his kid brother.

Once he had finished school was when he began job hunting. He had met a man who seemed to like his personality and the straight to the point attitude he had. It was then that he got offered a job as a radio host for a station that was supposed to be available all over the West coast. It was a chance that Tavon might never have had before and it paid well so he began working for them. Leaning back into this easy life job had introduced him even deeper into the party scene. There were different people that he could meet as well as different opportunities that made itself available which had been something he couldn't pass up. It wasn't long after taking the job that he was able to get the old building next door from his mother. It kept him close in case they needed anything but gave him a place of his own for a bachelor pad.

The first time that his brother ever tagged along to one of these parties was when Tavon was 24 and Deiondre was only 14. There was no shooing his younger brother away who had snuck out just to go with him and if he was going to go to a party, might as well be with him where he could keep an eye on him. It was a foolish hope though because keeping track of someone in a party like that was near impossible. Regardless, his brother was hooked after the first one with a wild look in his young eye and people had liked him. No one had guessed that Tavon was only 14 years old but instead liked the stories he retold that he heard from family members. This was a good thing as Deiondre didn't hide the fact that they were brothers.

A few months later was when Tavon found his reason to exit the party scene. A woman by the name of Shandra Davis had come storming in insisting that she found her brother who needed to get out of this scene. Tavon had slowed her down to talk to her and learned that her brother was apart of a lot of bad scenes and they were doing their best to pull him away from it; this was one of them. She was everything that he wasn't which had made him almost want to laugh. Most women kept their heads down but she took charge and had no problem holding her head up against him. Demanding with such a radiating personality that made you want to listen so he helped her find her brother. Leaving the party behind as he decided to walk them home once they had found him. It was at the door that he asked to see her again to which she agreed.

Parties had always been something he had wanted to escape to some degree without a truly good excuse since it helped his career as a radio host immensely. Shandra had laid things out on their first date on how she wanted it to go so he had to make his choice. In the next five years was when she wanted her first child and one more within five years after that if it were possible. Her husband had to have a stable and upstanding job that reflected well on her. The most important thing was presentation so he had to wear clothing that reflected a sophisticated atmosphere. There was no playing around as she was a grown woman who wanted to have a grown relationship and that if Tavon had wanted side chicks, he'd have to look else where because that would not work out for her. Oh, and not to mention that she already had her kids planned out for both genders.

Without thinking much, he had agreed to it and from there began to make the changes that would be required for them to work out. Getting a job in the computer industry to help manufacture them with the opportunity to learn further about them. The relationship got serious pretty quick and within a year they were married as they began working towards their first child. It was when they were 30 years old that their first son was born in which he was named Bashar. They waited a few years before trying again but seemed to fail attempt after attempt. When his wife had turned 39 that she had started to give up. She was sure that her clock for kids had gone past it. Two years later was when they would find out she was pregnant again to their surprise.

Another boy was born and life seemed complete but living in his bachelor pad didn't make her happy. It didn't fit the type of life that she had wanted and she didn't trust the city to provide much safety. It wasn't until Lionel was 11 years old that they finally agreed to moving after a break in on the other street over. They had decided that the place to move to would be Red Lieu as the safest option. Packing up their things out of Tavon's old apartment as they said their goodbyes to Deiondre. Finding a nice home that could suit them in the town wasn't too hard nor was enrolling the youngest son to finish their schooling. The two boys seemed to settle in rather well which had been a good thing for the family and soon life seemed to melt away. An escape from the city had proved to be a healthy thing for everyone and had certainly made his wife happy.

Years passed and they saw both their youngest son through high school graduation. Both of their sons went off to college and it wasn't long until they were given grandchildren by his eldest son while the other was still in high school. There was a lot of difference in the two as Bashar had known what he wanted and gone after it which reminded Tavon of his wife whereas Lionel had seemed more unsure of what he was doing exactly. In due time though his youngest son would figure it out so he wasn't too stressed by that factor. College was something they could afford and handle as he figured himself out. When Sam Blackmore had disappeared, it had been the talk of the town but Tavon thought the kid had just ran away. It wasn't uncommon for kids to run away and it was the only way that he could calm Shandra down from panicking at where they lived. It was also a little more easier because both of their sons were old enough to know how to keep safe.

### Season 1

The good thing was that Lionel had still seemed to keep his friend group as he returned back for visits. Two summers ago was when Mason had been sentenced and finally they seemed to be doing well. Reforming their bond could possibly help his son in deciding where to go or what to do with that direction. Meanwhile he had been climbing up the ladder of his son's company who had given him a job in the IT section after taking some courses. Tavon had excelled with IT and found himself pretty good at working with the technology and especially what they were creating. When one of Lionel's close friends had been shot, he had watched it affect his son.

### Season 2

Tavon has since got promoted to a IT manager where he works hard to make sure to provide for his family. Being in a cozy position where he gets to work with his eldest son has proven to be something that he is thankful for. His youngest son had put out a best selling book at that point in which he has tried to keep up with his next book to come out but his son has seemed unsure of what to put. A direct route never worked with Lionel so he simply does his best to ask whenever they all sit down for dinner to get life updates on everyone.
