'''Grey Talon''' 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 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.

* When aiming to detonate a midair snare, aim slightly below to account for its arc.
| effect5        = '''Movement Slow:''' '''50%'''

* 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.

== 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.
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.


Then he got the call.

=== Ability Changes ===
<!--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}}


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.
== Backstory ==


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.
- Fire rate now scales with spirit {{Ss|0.25}}.
* 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.
- Can now use multiple air dashes during {{AbilityIcon|Ability=Rain of Arrows|Size=20}} '''Rain of Arrows'''.
* 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.
