Character background and personality
Taras was born in x|Astana, Kazakhstan. Not much is known about his background apart from what he has revealed to others. In his youth, he moved from Kazakhstan to x|Moscow and found himself as a petty criminal. After pickpocketing x|Vladislav Krasnov, he was caught by the Krasnov security team and given a choice: take the money and let it eventually run out, or give the money back and come work for the Krasnovs where he will receive more than money can buy. He chose the latter option. Ever since, Taras has worked at the Krasnov family house, eventually becoming the majordomo and butler.

Taras is fiercely loyal to the Krasnov family, especially Alexander Krasnov, and takes his job very seriously. He does not approve of outsiders, and tries to keep most things as secretive as possible. Due to this, he initially does not trust Anya Krasnova-Harutyunyan or Nora, but later warms up to them. Taras is Alexander's right-hand-man, doing many shady deals for him and the dirty work of his operations.
