“I don't have to be the fastest: just the most clever.
Grey Talon is a Hero in Deadlock. He 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 organisation The Baxter Society, 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. Now, he hunts the perpetrators of the arson, bow in hand.

- 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 Vents, if entering at an aligned horizontal direction.
- Immediately flying the owl upwards after the initial cast time can give a better view and an easier path to a target.

Backstory
See Grey Talon/Lore for more story content.
“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 an Ixian who 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
Trapper's cage. - The current design for Spirit Snare resembles a 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 "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 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.
