Talon is the son of a Druid High Priest and
Celtic Queen. He, himself, was a High Chieftain in Britain
who fought back invaders and secured his clan against any
and all threats.
After the deaths of his
aunt, uncle, wife and son over a short period of time, he was told that his ancient gods
had cursed him. That they would plague his sister, his
people and his lands so long as he lived. To appease the gods, he
would have to be sacrificed to them.
Once his clan had Talon secured to the altar, they killed his sister
before his eyes and then turned on him. He gladly ceded his
soul for revenge against them.
Unlike the other
Dark-Hunters, he is entirely detached from this world. Talon walks between this realm
and the next with the help of Spirit Guides.
There are those who
speculate that should he ever free his banished emotions, the volatile Celtic
blood that flows through him will destroy not only him, but anyone
near him.
Talon first appears in Night
Pleasures
Patting the white and black dog, Amanda looked up to see the man who had arrived on the motorcycle. He was every bit as handsome as Hunter, yet there was something ethereal about him. Mystical.
His blond hair was cut short except for two long braids that fell from his left temple down to the middle of his chest. He wore a zipped-up black motorcycle jacket that had red and gold Celtic scroll-work painted all over it and a thick gold torc around his neck.
He knelt beside Kyrian and passed his gloved hand over Allison's body about an inch above it.
"Her lungs are singed," he said quietly.
"Can you help her, Talon?" Kyrian asked.
Talon nodded. He removed his gloves, then placed his hands against Allison's ribs.
After a few seconds, Allison's breathing became slow and steady.
Talon met Amanda's gaze. She shivered as she saw that he had the same exact eyes as Kyrian.
There was something very unsettling and strange about this new Dark-Hunter.
He was stillness, she realized. Like some bottomless pond. There was a calm serenity to him that was both beguiling and frightening.
