Grey TalonGive feedback
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 founder of the monster hunting Baxter Society, Grey Talon happily retired after 40 years of service to support his extended family.

Background
“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.
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.— A FATE'S TALE
