Difference between revisions of "Megan Tarash"

==== Reappearance ====

While fighting Nightwielder, David finds Megan and comes to the conclusion that she is the Epic named Firefight as reincarnation is one of her abilities. It is revealed that Megan betrayed the Reckoners as they began to target important parts of Steelheart's infrastructure by infiltrating the organization and feeding information to Steelheart. Initially, she seemed to be unable to recall any past events before her death as seen when she struggled to remember David's identity. Later, during the Steelheart hit, David found Megan listening to an audio recording of her death, including David's confession. She told him to stay away, however, or she would shoot herself, as death meant nothing to her anymore.

 

=== In Babylon Restored ===

==== Resurfaced ====

After the events of ''Steelheart'', Megan travels to Babylon Restored and allies herself with [[Regalia]]. The Babilar Reckoner cell attempts to observe and track her. At some point in the intervening ten months, their point man, Sam, attempts to confront and kill her despite orders to the contrary. Megan shoots and kills him in self-defense. This causes the surviving members of Sam's team, particularly [[Mizzy]], to develop a deep personal hatred for her. When David, Prof, and Tia arrive in Babilar at the beginning of ''Firefight'', Megan observes their movements in the city and covertly helps David several times. When David almost drowns during his encounter with [[Obliteration]], Megan rescues him. Later, she uses her illusions to prevent [[Newton]] and Obliteration from spotting and capturing him while he is doing reconnaissance in the city. David realizes Megan is around and asks her to show herself. The two have a tense conversation, but Megan agrees to stay in communication as long as David keeps their contact secret from the other Reckoners. The two have several more encounters over the course of the book. David tries to persuade Megan to reveal herself to the Reckoners, believing that he can reason with Prof and Tia, but Megan refuses.
