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

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.

From a young age, Wesley had always been captivated by the beauty of birds. Among them, a lone raven with shimmering, dark feathers stood out. He found it one fateful evening, lying injured beneath a tree in his favorite park. With gentle hands and a caring heart, he nursed the bird back to health, forging an unspoken bond that went beyond the ordinary. He named it Shadow.

* 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        =
* Cancelling Rain of Arrows while launching keeps the launch momentum, which can be used for mobility and evasion.

For years, Shadow became his closest companion, a symbol of hope and resilience in a world often filled with shadows. Wesley and his raven would wander the park daily, their souls intertwined in a dance of trust and affection. Yet, the world, cruel and unforgiving, had other plans.

| notes      =
* Spirit Snare can be detonated by a {{AbilityIcon|Charged Shot}} immediately after it's thrown, including while midair before it deploys its AoE visuals.
* The hitbox to manually detonate a deployed snare is indicated by the smoke emitted from its center.
| tips        =
* At angles where the center of a deployed snare is less visible, aim {{AbilityIcon|Charged Shot}}s slightly away from the surface the snare landed on.
* When aiming to detonate a midair snare, aim slightly below to account for its arc.
* 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.
}}


One cold, misty evening, as they strolled through the park, a masked figure emerged from the darkness. His voice was laced with venom as he demanded money, eyes gleaming with malevolence. Wesley's heart pounded as he realized he had nothing of value to give. In a fit of rage, the masked man seized Shadow, holding a blade to the bird's fragile chest.
{{AbilitySection
| hero_name  = Grey Talon
| ability_num = 4
| notes      =
* To get a "Spirit Power Per Kill" [[stack]], the enemy has to die within 4s after getting hit.
* If Grey Talon dies while controlling the owl, it will float uncontrollably until it times out and explodes.
* T3 Execute deals [[Pure Damage]].
** The spirit damage of the owl will hit before checking if the opponent is within the execute threshold.
* 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.
* The owl can enter [[Vent]]s, if entering at an aligned horizontal direction.
| tips        =
* Immediately flying the owl upwards after the initial cast time can give a better view and an easier path to a target.
* Guided Owl can also be used as a targeted, long-range stun, capable of interrupting hard-to-reach channeled ults from behind cover.

"Give me what I want, or the bird dies," he snarled.

Wesley's eyes filled with tears as he pleaded with him, but his pleas fell on deaf ears. With a swift motion, the blade plunged into Shadow's heart, and the raven's lifeless body crumpled to the ground.
== Backstory ==


"No!" Wesley's scream echoed through the night, a cry of pure anguish that tore through his very soul.
{{Fates_Tale|orion}}


Days turned into weeks, and Wesley was consumed by grief. The world seemed a darker place without Shadow by his side. But in the depths of his despair, on a stormy night, something extraordinary happened. As he knelt in prayer, seeking solace in the emptiness of his room, a book—ancient and mysterious—descended from the sky, landing gently before him. Its cover was marked by a single, ominous eye.

Drawn to the book, Wesley opened it with trembling hands. Inside, he found arcane texts written in a language older than time itself. The words spoke of an ancient power, one that could grant dominion over life and death, but at a cost. The soul was the key, and those who mastered this power could call back the dead—if they were willing to sacrifice their own humanity.

Years passed, and Wesley, now known as Grey Talon, became the book's chosen one. He delved deeper into its secrets, unlocking powers that no mortal had wielded for centuries. His heart hardened as he mastered the art of soul manipulation, his once gentle spirit consumed by a thirst for vengeance.

The day finally came when he attempted to bring Shadow back to life. But the ritual had an unforeseen consequence. Shadow's body remained lifeless, but its soul returned, trapped between the realms of the living and the dead. The bird's ethereal form followed him, a constant reminder of what he had lost—and what he had become.

With his newfound powers, Grey Talon hunted down the masked murderer, his eyes burning with a cold, unyielding fury. When he found him, he unleashed the full extent of his dark magic. His soul was torn from his body, leaving him a hollow shell, an echo of the pain he had caused.

But vengeance did not bring him peace. Instead, it deepened the darkness within him. The world soon whispered his name in fear, the legend of Grey Talon spreading like wildfire. He was no longer the kind-hearted boy who had once loved a raven. He was something else entirely—an embodiment of grief, power, and unending sorrow, forever marked by the loss that had shaped his destiny.
== 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]].


And so, Grey Talon roamed the world, a shadow of his former self, with his raven's soul by his side, eternally bound to the darkness he had embraced.}}
