Piotr "Pete" Tarasov is the nephew and adopted son of Leon Tarasov and son of Nikola Tarasov and Paula Randall. After Nikola's death in 2003, Piotr was adopted by Leon. Following Leon's arrest in The Killing, Piotr was arrested too and questioned. He was released without charge, and decided to run the Tarsov family businesses with his aunt Sacha instead of going to university.
