'''Grey Talon''' is a [[Hero]] in ''[[Deadlock]]''. He is a clever, long-range combatant that uses his powerful bow in combination with traps and mystical flight to pin down and destroy his foes. With the ability to charge his arrow shot for powerful effect, Grey Talon can harry his foes at a distance before launching a guided Spirit Owl to finish them off.

A founder of the monster hunting organisation [[The Baxter Society]], Grey Talon happily retired after 40 years of service to support his extended family. He was living well until he was alerted that that his son and daughter-in-law had died in a mysterious house fire. Now, he hunts the [[Friends of Humanity|perpetrators]] of the arson, bow in hand.
