Biography
Darth Talon was a female Lethan Twi'lek born a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. She was born a third-generation Sith who was raised and trained at the Sith Academy on the world of Korriban. The planet served as the secret location of the One Sith who operated in the shadows under the leadership of Darth Krayt. In this time, Talon was under the tutelage of Darth Ruyn where the Twi'lek's inherent abilities as a Force-sensitive were honed to make her the perfect assassin. Similarly, she was psychologically crafted to be completely dedicated to the tenets of the One Sith though ultimately her loyalties were to the founder of their order who was the Dark Lord of the Sith. Upon completing her training, she came to be fully immersed in the Dark Side of the Force where as a final test of loyalty she was tasked with killing her mentor Ruyn in cold blood. Without hesitation, she turned against her own Master and killed him as per Darth Krayt's order. Thus, her final rite of passage was complete and she was elevated to the rank of Hand where she became the Emperor Darth Krayt's most trusted assassin. Her first mission came to be to find and capture the Princess Marasiah Fel in order to lure out her father the deposed emperor Roan Fel from hiding. This saw Talon travelling to Socorro where she found Fel had been hiding at the Imperial Mission. However, the Princess Fel was accompanied by her mentor and body Elke Vetter who was one of the Imperial Knights. The two battled where Vetter was defeated by Darth Talon but Fel managed to escape during the fight. With no further use for the fallen Knight, Talon killed Vetter using Force lightning and continued her pursuit of Fel. However, just before Talon was able to apprehend her target, Fel and Vao escaped from Socorro by boarding the Mynock, a starship piloted by the former Jedi-turned-bounty hunter Cade Skywalker.
Talon pursued Fel and her companions to the planet Vendaxa, where they were joined by two more Jedi, Wolf Sazen and Shado Vao. In order to prevent another escape attempt, Talon sabotaged the Mynock's flight systems and then rigged it with explosives. Through the dark side, she rallied a herd of vanx to her side. The creatures, under Talon's influence, attacked the group in a frenzy. While Fel and her allies defended themselves against the beasts, Talon engaged in combat with Sazen and Vao and skillfully held her own against the two Jedi. After incapacitating Vao with a Force push, she turned her full attention to Sazen, whom she recognized as the Jedi Master who lost his arm in a duel with Darth Nihl during the Massacre of Ossus. The Sith Lady unleashed a barrage of Force lightning on Sazen, but was prevented from killing him by Marasiah Fel. The Princess, still enraged over the death of Elke Vetter, attacked Talon in the hopes of ensuring that no one else would have to die for her. Talon was further caught by surprise when Cade Skywalker used the Force to hurl a pile of wreckage at her. The impact of the attack sent the Sith soaring through the underbrush of the nearby jungle. Despite the injuries Talon sustained from Skywalker's assault, she ultimately survived and awaited reinforcements from her Master. Soon after the Imperial Knights Antares Draco and Ganner Krieg arrived on Vendaxa in an unauthorized attempt to rescue the Princess, the fighting resumed as Talon and her fellow Sith, including Darth Nihl, launched an all-out attack on the combined group of Jedi, Imperials and bounty hunters. During the ensuing skirmish, Darth Talon dueled with Shado Vao. Although Marasiah Fel was severely wounded, Talon ultimately failed in her objective to acquire the Imperial Princess, once again due to the intervention of Cade Skywalker. As the Mynock departed from Vendaxa with the injured Fel and company, Talon attempted to board the ship as well, only to be Force pushed out of the vessel by Antares Draco. After the debacle on Vendaxa, Darth Talon returned to Coruscant in defeat and expected to be executed for failure. But when she informed her Master about Cade Skywalker's involvement, Darth Krayt chose to spare his Hand's life. Instead, Talon was instructed to hunt down and acquire Skywalker, supposedly the last scion of the bloodline of Darth Vader.
