This black-feathered corvid humanoid seems to have once been human,

but is far from it now.  Her body is twisted and warped into the formed

of a great winged humanoid creature halfway between a crow and an

eagle.  Her feathers are glistening black and reflect dozens of shades of

green, blue and violet besides and her eyes are black orbs without any

sign of pupil or retina.  Further, her form is clearly still mutating and

uses obviously unnatural Quantum based means of propulsion and sonics

generation as no terrestrial creature could fly in earths gravity with a 4

meter wingspan, let along turn or swoop as she does in clear defiance

of laws of aerobatics.  Despite having and using wings, Talon clearly

doesn’t entirely need them, and can take off or land in an enclosed

area quite well.

 

Her history remains an enigma, although she understands much Greek,

and no other language as of yet.  Her current form gives no other clues

as to her original human form and she was initially discovered cold

and bleeding from an aerial impact on a roof in Thessalonika by one

of that towns police.  He managed to coax the creature to take his coat

and brought her food, in ever-increasing quantities when it became

clear that she wasn’t leaving the rooftop and that no one else was being

allowed near her.  It took weeks of coaxing to get her to come down,

but she insisted (to the point of sonics and vicious claw swipes!) on

remaining with the officer who had been ‘nice’ to her before, a Paul

Kafkoulas.  He ended up finally taking her home with him, much to

the consternation of his pregnant wife, but when an intruder tried to

sneak into the backroom to find the territorial avian guarding the house,

she changed her tune.  ‘Talon,’ as she was called, has been living in

this officers backroom and occasionally seems to display a clear

understanding of what is being said around her, and can even mimic

it on some occasions, although she hardly ever speaks on her own

or in other than an assumed ‘parotted’ voice.

 

He was attached to the Avatars as a police laison (a substantial rise in

his fortunes) mainly because it was known that this was the only way

to get Talon into the team.  Talon, for her part, has accepted the

presence of ‘Tag’ and ‘Lethe’ around her (seeming to like Lethe more,

calling Tag, ‘sick girl’ quite a bit, presumably a reference to how she

saps the energy from everyone around her).  As for the other team-

members, Talon doesn’t like men in general, only tolerating Paul near

her.  The only other exception is small children, which she doesn’t

seem to be able to differentiate.
