'''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.

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.

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

* When aiming to detonate a midair snare, aim slightly below to account for its arc.

| effect4        = '''Spirit Power Per Kill:''' '''5'''
* 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.

'''A FATE'S TALE:'''
<!--For fresh data see [[Deadlock:Street Brawl Ability Changes]] -->
Apart from [[Street Brawl#Heroes|global changes]], Grey Talon does '''not''' have any special modifications for his abilities in Street Brawl.
=== Item Draft ===
{{HeroStreetBrawlItems|Grey Talon}}


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.
== Backstory ==


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.
{{Fates_Tale|orion}}
 
Then he got the call.
 
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 ==
* 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]].
