Tarrlok's task force

Tarrlok's task force is a unit created by Councilman Tarrlok under the approval of the United Republic Council with the objective of fighting the Equalists and capturing Amon. Members of the team include Avatar Korra as well as several skilled earthbenders and waterbenders.

History
The task force was created by Tarrlok in response to an Equalist event called "The Revelation", where Amon's ability to remove people's bending was revealed to a public audience, of which Korra was a part. The task force's creation was opposed by Tenzin, fearing that a move this aggressive would only further the division between benders and non-benders. However, the proposal was supported by the rest of the members of the Council, thus proclaiming Amon public enemy number one in Republic City.

Tarrlok then made several attempts to persuade Avatar Korra to join the task force by sending a range of extravagant gifts to her, from a basket of gifts to a luxurious Satomobile. She ultimately was pressured into becoming a member when Tarrlok forced her into a public setting during a gala in her honor, where she was asked accusing questions about her apparent inaction against the Equalist revolt.



In the City Hall, Tarrlok explained the first mission to the task force: raid an underground chi blocker training facility located in the cellar of a bookstore in the Dragon Flats district. Led by the Councilman, the group first flooded the camp and froze four Equalists, followed by earthbending attacks that broke through the wall allowing the benders to storm in, quickly subduing the majority. One chi blocker threw a smoke grenade, but Korra intercepted it and froze it, trapping the gas inside. She then pursued the last two fleeing chi blockers, but tripped on a wire just as an Equalist jumped down from above. She stopped him by kicking a rock into his chest just as another one was about to ensnare her, but Tarrlok froze him against the wall just in time. The flawless raid made the front page as shown when the task force arrested them in the presence of journalists.

After Korra challenged Amon to a duel on Aang Memorial Island, Tarrlok claimed to have prepared a fleet of police airships that would swoop down if something went wrong, though strangely, these never came despite Korra's capture.

Following these events, Korra took a leave of absence from the task force to prepare for the upcoming pro-bending tournament with her team, the Fire Ferrets.

After the successful Equalist Attack on the Pro-bending Arena, Tarrlok called a press conference, during which he put the blame for the arena's destruction in Lin Beifong's hands. Throughout this speech, Tarrlok's task force was seen behind him, acting as his personal bodyguard.
