'''Armin Tamzarian''' was a [[Galaxy Commander]] for [[Clan Coyote]] during the [[Wars of Reaving]].<ref name=TWORp67>''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 67: "Merges and Moves"</ref>  

==History==
Earlier in his career, Armin Tamzarian advanced to the rank of [[Star Colonel]] without the sponsorship of an older [[Bloodname]]d warrior, making his way based only on his own abilities.  During the mid 3050s, he held command of [[Delta Galaxy (Clan Coyote)|Delta Galaxy]]'s [[34th Strike (Clan Coyote)|34th Strike Cluster]].  Sources of the time noted that his chances of gaining higher command than Star Colonel were slim to none without some kind of sponsorship.<ref>''Field Manual: Warden Clans'', p. 50: "Delta Galaxy"</ref>

===Londerholm Mysteries===
Whether or not Tamzarian ever found a sponsor, or he had simply proven himself to be beyond the need of one, he would one day assume command of Delta Galaxy.  Under the cover of a larger conflict between [[Clan Star Adder]] and [[Clan Snow Raven]], the Coyotes would move to expand on the planet [[Londerholm]].  Quickly taking three neighboring [[Ice Hellion]] enclaves, Tamazarian took note of the lack of defenses. The Ice Hellion [[bondsmen]] knew very little about what their Clan was up to, except that a few units were being shuffled around in a flurry of cover activity. Reporting his findings to Coyote [[saKhan]] [[Raven Clearwater]], she would order him to scale back operations, so other [[Clan]]s would not take note of the Coyote's expansion, while still keeping an eye on what exactly the Hellions were doing.<ref>''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 53: "The Coyote Prowls"</ref>

===Wolf Gambit===
Delta Galaxy would be a major part of the Coyote's assistance to their [[Clan Wolf]] allies during their exodus from Clan space. On 15 April [[3071]], the Wolves were officially [[Trial of Abjuration|Abjured]] by the Grand Council, after their forceful taking of the Kerensky genetic stock from [[Strana Mechty]] and the violent fallout that accompanied it, as well as Khan Vladimir Ward's scathing attitude toward the [[Grand Council]] as a political body.  The Coyotes won the bidding to carry out the Abjurement, with [[Khan]] [[Silas Kufahl]] using the opportunity as cover while honoring their deal to help the Wolves escape.  Their slow pace prompted action from other Clans that desired to possess some of the valuable Wolf territories. On [[Glory (Clan system)|Glory]], control of the Wolf enclave was passed to Armin Tamzarian and Delta Galaxy. The Steel Viper's [[Gamma Galaxy (Clan Steel Viper)|Gamma Galaxy]] moved on the enclave, but Tamzarian moved his forces to block their advance, buying the Wolves time to escape.<ref name=TWORp67/>

==Death and Legacy==
Though it is not clear when Armin Tamzarian died, it is likely that he did so on [[Tamaron]] when Delta and several other Coyote Galaxies all met their ends during the last stand against the vengeful Steel Vipers and [[ilKhan]] [[Brett Andrews]].<ref name=TWORp142,143>''The Wars of Reaving'', pp. 142–143: "Viper's Venom"</ref>

==Notes==
*The character appears to be a subtle nod to [[w:Principal Skinner|Principal Skinner]] from the [[w:The Simpsons|''The Simpsons'']] whose [[w:The Principal and the Pauper|birth name is Armin Tamzarian]].
