| A Talon is a highly skilled assassin and master of many forms of armed an unarmed combat. They are also expert’s with throwing knives and swords. | |||||||
| Weapons: A Talon is typically armed with many specialised throwing knives and a sword. | |||||||
| Cellular Regeneration: The Court Of Owls infuses their Talon’s system’s with an unspecified chemical compound that can reanimate dead tissue and heal living tissue over and over again. The compound is fuelled by body heat, and so exposing a Talon to conditions that can cause body temperatures to drop will compromise their healing abilities. The Court refers to the process of infusing a Talon with this compound as "drinking from the cup of immortality". The compound also allows the Talon to be cryogenically frozen, for a return to life at a later time. | |||||||

| Ephraim Newhouse is a Talon that was in the employee of the Court in the 1600’s. Ephraim was shamed for letting his sense of duty and honour get in the way of the Court's objectives. He was retired by the court, which stripped him of his weapons and armour with a mark of disgrace on his record. | ||||
