Tae Joon Park was born on Gaea, and was eventually orphaned on the streets of Suotamo. One night, Katerina Tikacek Nox, despairing at the death of her husband and apparent death of her son, sat on the ledge of a bridge in the city. This bothered a twelve-year-old Park, who angrily shouted in Korean that he was trying to sleep. Mystik soon adopted Park, as well as his foster sister, Mila Alexander. In an effort to help Park feel comfortable in his new home, Mystic let him name a kitten she had recently adopted, naming it Mandu. Park eventually had the kitten's name tattooed on his arm. In 2727, Park met with Bangalore, who was searching for information regarding her brother, Jackson. Acting as an informant, he gave her a flash drive and directed her to Singh Labs on the island of Kings Canyon. To escape a squalid life, Park became a computer engineer and completed jobs for the Mercenary Syndicate, working alongside Mila on many of these. He additionally invented the drone cameras used to broadcast the Apex Games. He has short, styled black hair (often slicked back or undercut) and always wears a glowing, high-tech communications earpiece over his left eye. He is also 5'10" in height. He wears a striking white jacket with high, upturned collars, black inner linings, and a distinctive futuristic pattern. His constant companion and primary tool is a deployable Surveillance Drone that hovers near him and acts as an extension of his eyes and ears. He is an abrasive, calculating, and paranoid loner. While he projects a tough exterior to survive the Apex Legends games, he is deeply driven by a need for revenge against the Syndicate. Beneath his cynical shell, he harbors a softer, playful side, specifically around engineering and his drone. Though he finds his some of his teammates annoying, he is fiercely loyal to those he trusts.
