'''Tarn the Tonk''' is a street hustler who works for [[Sharezan]] in [[Kezare]] on the [[Dayside]] of [[Taldain]].{{book ref|ws|13}} His nickname is derived from the [[tonk]], a slow-witted [[sandling]] used as a beast of burden on [[Dayside]].

During the investigation of Sharezan by [[Ais]] and the other [[trackt]]s, they offered sanctuary to anyone willing to act as an informant to help them catch the crime lord. A body was soon found in the streets with the back of its skull caved in. [[Tain]] and his team recognized the corpse as Tarn the Tonk, a known associate of Sharezan's. Upon searching the body, they found a note from Sharezan that said "I WARNED YOU". They reported their findings back to Ais; she assumed that Tarn was already dead when the note was placed. Tain speculated that the warning was intended to deter their investigation.{{book ref|ws|13}} Tain "discovered" the note while other trackts were not paying attention; since he was later revealed to be Sharezan, it is likely that he planted the note on the corpse himself.
