'''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.

* Charged Shot can be held indefinitely.

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.
{{AbilitySection
| hero_name  = Grey Talon
| ability_num = 2
| notes      =
* 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.
}}


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.
{{AbilitySection
| hero_name  = Grey Talon
| ability_num = 3
| 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.
}}


Then he got the call.
{{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.
}}


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.}}

== Trivia ==
== Trivia ==
Grey Talon's current design is temporary and is based on a model from when the game was still called ''Neon Prime.''{{Heroes}}
* 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.
[[Category:Heroes]]
* 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]].
