Matt Talon was a Human male who served as a light scout trooper in the First Sun Mobile Regiment. During his time as a First Sun trooper, he was wounded during a battle which left him with a distinguishable scar on his face, which ran from his right eye down to the right corner of his mouth. After the company he served in was almost completely wiped out in an Imperial attack, he became disillusioned with his mercenary service, and began wandering the galaxy. During this time he continued to wear his First Sun Mobile battle armor, and found work as a bounty hunter. He was also a member of The Most Honourable Guild of Armourers, which included such famous members as Boba Fett, and Dengar.

He eventually made contact with the Rebel Alliance, and he was assigned to work with the Sullustan named Thila, aboard the ship Arkanian Dawn. This decision turned out to work in his favor, and through his work with Thila, he developed a deep-seated loyalty for her. His work with the Alliance helped him channel his rage and disillusionment into something productive, and he was able to become an effective soldier in the fight against the Empire.
