Nasreen was raised as a Muslim. She soon immigrated to and became a citizen of the United States, living in Washington, D.C..[1] Nasreen later got married and around 2009 or 2010, she and her husband had a daughter, Zari Tomaz.[2]

As Zari grew up, Nasreen taught her daughter how to cook Iftar, despite the latter's refusal to fast during the month of Ramadan. While cooking, Nasreen preached that Ramadan is not just to honor God, but a time to celebrate tradition, family, and community.[3]
In 2018, Nasreen took Zari to a park, where they played together on the swing set.[1]
In January 2020, Nasreen gave birth to a son, Behrad Tomaz.[4] Sometime afterwards, she and her family moved to Seattle, Washington.[5]
Oppression[]
In 2021 when A.R.G.U.S. took over the United States, meta-humans and religion were outlawed. Nasreen and her family were subsequently persecuted for continuing to practice Islam.
In 2042, A.R.G.U.S. raided her family's home, killing Behrad. Nasreen, her husband, and Zari were forced to flee and took refuge at a remote settlement camp.
Shortly after this, when Zari retrieved Behrad's confiscated Air Totem from A.R.G.U.S., she planned to rendezvous with her parents at their camp. However, the couple didn't show up and the camp was instead destroyed.[5]

When Zari entered, finishing her broadcast to Z Nation, Nasreen asked her daughter to be nice to Nate, but Zari thought that he was crazy.

At the Tarazi family dinner, the matter of the Air Totem came up. Nasreen asked how Nate knew about the totem since Behrad said it was gone.[6] Behrad then left.[4]
Da Throne[]
Sometime in 2045, Nasreen was called by Behrad and he told her that he was visiting Zari in Hollywood. Nasreen later found out that Zari was competing on Da Throne and was surprised that she was not informed of the decision. Right before Zari and John Constantine's interview, she came into the dressing room that Zari was in and talked to her daughter about dating John.
