Tachyon is arguably the main protagonist. Agent Peacock : Don't let the flamboyance and frilly clothes fool you. Like all Takisian Psi Lords, Tachyon has been trained from early childhood to survive his people's kill-or-be-killed culture. Since he was one of its developers, he feels obligated to care for those affected and tries to find a way to cure it. Butt-Monkey : In the later novels he suffers so much that it comes closest to Cosmic Plaything.

Byronic Hero : Tachyon has more than a few traits of this archetype, including being sophisticated, sensitive, passionate, very emotional, and suffering significant personal trauma. And rebelling against Takisian society. Camp Straight : As an alien aristocrat he dresses very flamboyantly and behaves similarly. The Casanova : Tries to sleep with every single woman he finds attractive. Defector from Decadence : Tachyon is quite disgusted with Takisian society, even before their decision to test the Wild Card virus on Earth.
Ironically, he is still very much a Takisian Psi Lord in many ways, though he takes a more Noblesse Oblige stance. Doctor Whomage : Possibly based on The Doctor. Like the Doctor, Tachyon is a long-lived, very human alien with a flamboyant dress sense that harkens back to Earth's past, has an arrogant personality and a big ego, is a brilliant scientist, is protective of Earthlings, and even has a living, sentient spaceship.
In usual Wild Cards-style, Tachyon is also a deconstruction, being a shameless womanizer, a borderline alcoholic, and prone to failure, while the Doctor usually wins, and is somewhat chaste. Forced Sleep : One of his main psionic attacks is inducing sleep on unsuspecting victims. Human Aliens : Takisians and Humans are sufficiently identical that Tachyon managed to unintentionally father at least one Half-Human Hybrid child.
