== Background ==
{{Quotation||
'''A FATE'S TALE:'''
 
A founding member of "[[The Baxter Society]]", Wesley Grey Talon spent close to 40 years hunting monsters that preyed on man before finally deciding to find a replacement and lay down his bow. Grey Talon’s duties had meant that he never spent much time with his wife and kid, and now that his son had started a family of his own he realized that this was his last chance to reconnect with the people he loved.


A founding member of the highly respected monster hunting organization [[The Baxter Society]], Wesley 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. With not much time left, he dedicated the remainder of his life towards hunting the [[Friends of Humanity|perpetrators]] of the arson, bow in hand.
Retirement suited Wesley. He made up for lost time with his wife. He doted on his grandkids. He cooked dinner for the whole family every Wednesday. He was happy.


== Weapon ==
Then he got the call.
{{WeaponCard|key=hero_orion}}


== Abilities ==
The authorities claimed that it was a freak accident... that the fire consumed his son’s house before anyone got a chance to escape. But Wesley knew better. His son’s wife was Ixian... she could snuff out flame with a thought. If their bodies were found burned they had to be dead long before there was a fire.
 
And so Grey Talon has picked up his bow once more, and when he finds who’s responsible there will be a bloody reckoning.}}

* Targets can only be hit once per multishot.
* Each shot is separated by approximately 2°, resulting in a 8° spread between the furthest two shots.
* Rain of Arrows works with {{ItemIcon|Split Shot}}, allowing Grey Talon to shoot 25 arrows.
** Split Shot's multishot is applied before Rain of Arrows', regardless of order used; Their combined spread is approximately 28° between the furthest two shots.
* Rain of Arrows grants increased air mobility, +{{DataProp|Rain of Arrows|AirMoveIncreasePercent}}% [[Air Dash]] distance, and the ability to use any number of Air Dashes while active.
* Grey Talon can Air Dash in any direction including Down Dash at any point immediately after casting. He cannot Air Jump or grab [[Ziplines]] while the ability is active.
* Holding a direction while activating Rain of Arrows influences the direction Talon launches in. If cast without holding a direction, Talon jumps backwards.
| tips        =

| notes      =
| - {{AbilityIcon|Ability=Charged Shot|Size=20}} Charged Slot Collision Size reduced by 10%.

* When aiming to detonate a midair snare, aim slightly below to account for its arc.
- {{AbilityIcon|Ability=Guided Owl|Size=20}} Guided Owl Explosion Radius increased: 10m → <u>12m</u>.
* Placing a trap in narrow hallways where enemies are likely to ambush you from (or escape to) can force them to either be cursed, slowed, and slightly damaged, or take a less ideal path.
* Manual detonations can be used to quickly [[interrupt]] and weaken an enemy, and bypass the snare's {{DataProp|Spirit Snare|ArmTime}}s Arm Time.

| - {{AbilityIcon|Ability=Rain of Arrows|Size=20}} Rain of Arrows Flight Duration reduced: 8s → <u>7s</u>.
* Grey Talon's line of sight while controlling owl is based on the owl's hitbox. This creates a bug in which enemies cannot hit [[Melee Attacks]] and some [[Abilities]] on Grey Talon if the owl is out of the enemy's line of sight. However, they can still hit him with weapons.
- {{AbilityIcon|Ability=Guided Owl|Size=20}} Guided Owl Spirit Gain per kill increased: 4 → <u>5</u>.
* The owl can enter [[Vent]]s, if entering at an aligned horizontal direction.

== Trivia ==
== Trivia ==
* Grey Talon's current model is inherited from his design in ''[[Neon Prime]],'' in which he was called '''Orion'''. Based on datamined textures, he wore a visor and had a long beard. He had an animal labeled ''"archer_pet",'' which was reused as the creature in {{HeroIcon|Trapper}}'s cage.
* The current design for Spirit Snare resembles a [[wikipedia:Dreamcatcher|dreamcatcher]].
* Grey Talon's bow was originally called '''Koschei'''. This probably refers to Slavic folklore.
* Grey Talon's bow seems to be based on the Fenris Magazine Bow or [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sy_bJQaD3Uc "Instant Legolas"], created by youtuber Jörg Sprave. The bow has a magazine that can be loaded with multiple arrows to be fired in succession.
* A Work-In-Progress remodel for Grey Talon was found in the files in the [[Update:May 8, 2025|Shop Rework Update]]. The model depicted Grey Talon as tall, muscular, and bald.
* "Mourning in the Hideout" is displayed as one's status in the in-game Friends List when playing as Grey Talon in the [[Hideout]].
== References ==
<references />


== Navigation ==
* Grey Talon's current design is temporary and is based on a model from when the game was still called ''Neon Prime.''
{{Hero Navbox}}
* ''Grey Talon'' during Deadlock Pre-Alpha (''Neon Prime'') was named ''Orion''.
