Biography[]
Tales From Year Zero[]
Trespasser Attack[]
During Trespasser's attack on San Francisco in 2013, Tamsin and Luna volunteer to help the United States Air Force in attacking the Kaiju and head for the Vandenberg base. Despite their combined forces, the aerial attack against the creature isn’t enough to do anything but irriate it. When Luna attempts to fire a sidewinder down the Trespasser’s throat, Tasmin warns her of an oncoming attack. Despite her efforts, Luna is killed when the creature slashes her jet in half. The loss of Luna hits Tamsin and Stacker hard.[1]
Onibaba Attack[]
When the Jaeger Program is authorized by the United Nations in 2014, both Tamsin and Stacker train to become Rangers in the PPDC’s growing forces. They are later assigned to the Mark-1 Japanese Jaeger Coyote Tango as its pilots. On May 15, 2016, Tamsin and Stacker are deployed in Tokyo, Japan to fight against the Category II Kaiju Onibaba. During their battle with the Kaiju, Tamsin suddenly passes out, leaving Stacker to pilot and kill Onibaba on his own.[1] Their efforts manage to save the life of a young Mako Mori, who was being pursued by the Kaiju before Coyote Tango was deployed into the city to take the beast down.
Cancer Diagnosis[]
Shortly thereafter, Tamsin learns that she has developed cancer from her prolonged exposure to the Coyote Tango’s nuclear reactor. As a result, she and Stacker are subsequently retired from active duty as Rangers. Although she’ll receive treatment, Tamsin has little hope of her survival. Stacker tries to argue against the ruling, but Tamsin urges him to move on with his life.
Shortly after Stacker is promoted to the rank of PPDC Marshal by Dustin Kreiger, he visits a weakened Tamsin in the hospital. He introduces her to Mako Mori, the girl whom they saved in Tokyo. His gesture brings Tamsin to tears and the three embrace.
Later Life and Death[]
Tamsin continues to receive extensive treatment for cancer; for a time the disease goes into remission and it appeared that she would survive. However, her illness later returns and ultimately kills her. Following her death, Tamsin is buried in Hawaii, where Stacker and Mako would visit to pay their respects and honor her memory.[1]
Trivia[]
