Taran and his alter ego, Steve Jones Complications:
Enemy - Dr. Albert Henderson, now the Fomori, is angry at Jones for claiming Mjolnir and wants the hammer for himself.
Relationship - Steve's older brother Lionel suffers from brain damage. As such, Steve is protective of Lionel and others who suffer from similar disabilities. Recently, as his condition has worsened, Taran is spending part of his time on a cross dimensional quest to try to find a cure for Lionel.
Wonky Interface - Although Steve, as Taran, has tapped into more of Mjolnir's capabilities than any other person who has ever tried (particularly Albert Henderson), Steve is still getting used to the transformation and is still learning how to most effectively use Mjolnir as Taran.
Secret Identiy/Power Loss - Steve Allen Jones, when not weilding Mjolnir, is powerless. He is STR 2, STA 2, AGL 2, FGT 3, AWE 3, PRE 1, and Initiative +6 in normal form.

Taran was created, designed, and played by Ken Asche.
