Darth Talon

"You have passed your final test without flinching. I name you Darth Talon and you will now be one of my hands&hellip; My own assassin. You will take orders from me&hellip; Report only to me."

- Darth Krayt

Darth Talon was a member of Darth Krayt's new Sith Order c. 137 ABY. She was a female Twi'lek, apparently of the red-skinned Lethan group. She had black Sith tattoos covering her body, head, and lekku. Her tattoos were earned in ritual combat and inscribed by Darth Krayt himself. She was trained by a fellow Lethan Twi'lek Sith named Darth Ruyn, who she killed on Krayt's command with a swift decapatation strike of her lightsaber.

Biography


Talon was a third-generation Sith, raised on the ancient Sith burial world of Korriban to serve as the second of Darth Krayt's two "hands" (Darth Nihl being the the other). Thus, she had no idea of what life was like outside the order and had no purpose to her existence other than to serve as the executor of Krayt's will.

She was instructed by Darth Krayt to find and kill ex-Emperor Roan Fel. She therefore went after his daughter, Princess Marasiah Fel. She planned on the Princess fleeing to her father, or Roan Fel coming and assisting his daughter. Then, at that time, Darth Talon would kill them both.

Marasiah Fel was on Socorro, hiding within the Imperial Mission there. She cut off the right leg and the right arm of the female Human Imperial Knight Elke Vetter, who was Marasiah Fel's guardian and mentor. After she felled the Imperial Knight, she interrogated her through the Force to find that Marasiah escaped with Astraal Vao, one of the local missionaries. Then, Darth Talon killed Vetter and pursued the two through a maze of burning buildings.

However, Marasiah Fel and Astraal Vao were able to outrun her and make it to Cade Skywalker's starship, Mynock. The two were able to jump aboard before Darth Talon could make it on, and flew to Vendaxa.

Personality
Darth Talon was cold and dispassionate, and listened to the commands of Darth Krayt without question or hesitation, as aptly shown when she decapitated Darth Ruyn. She was unmerciful like most Sith, keeping Elke Vetter alive only for the amount of time needed to extract the location of Marasiah Fel from the grievously wounded Imperial Knight.

Fighting abilities
Darth Talon, like almost all Sith, was armed with a sole crimson-bladed single-bladed lightsaber. It was elongated, and notched with crisscrossing grooves. The hilt was constructed of a material that physically did not appear to be metal, and instead resembled a sort of rock. The identity of the material used to construct the lightsaber was unknown, however.

Yet, her ability in combat was considerable. She was able to kill her teacher, Darth Ruyn, in a single leaping strike, without having to duel him in a protracted lightsaber duel. In addition, she literally and metaphorically "disarmed" Elke Vetter without taking any physical damage. Her skill at fighting was further exemplified by the fact that she was anointed as one of Darth Krayt's two "hands", as aforementioned. That put her at a status greater than dozens of other Sith.

She also knew Force techniques such as Force lightning, by which she executed Elke Vetter. Darth Talon was also able to force the Imperial Knight to verbally reveal the location of the Princess by a Force technique where she summoned a cyan circle of light before her adversary.

Darth Talon was also able to shadow the Princess as she was running away from the burning Imperial Mission that was her former hiding spot, indicating her skill at concealment. Whether it was physical, Force-aided, or a mixture of both was unknown.

This Twi'lek Sith also knew how to operate starships and a speeder bike.
