Rather than cram everything in the Archives (and since we've got subforums now) I decided to make a thread totally dedicated to the characters that you've seen and those you've never heard mentioned.

--------

Artemis
Species: Virtarak (Talon)
Age: 13
Gender: Masculine

While Artemis is a perfect clone of Wyvern, he is a much younger warrior than the original who fought Fenix at age 67. His temprament is just as similar to his "father." However, he's different due to his unique life. Artemis was socially awkward prior to Fenix's uprising, rarely interacting with others outside of combat or questions of strategy.



Fenix
Species: Virtarak (Neo-Talon)
Age: 19
Gender: Feminine

One of the first generation Neo-Talons, Fenix was introduced to a galaxy that did not understand her kind. The most widespread psychics, the Naryyn, had just been cast out, and few in the galaxy could relate to psionic individuals such as the Neo-Talons. Fenix's first years of life were not unique from her sisters, they had no more understanding of their powers than the rest of the galaxy did.
The pivotal event that forever changed Fenix's life occured when she was 16. Along with a squad of Talons and other Neo-Talons, she was sent to track a renegade first generation Talon called Wyvern. Ultimately the hunt ended in a confrontation between the young Neo-Talon and her predeccesor. After a impassioned argument with the old veteran, Fenix assaulted dying Wyvern's mind, tapping into his memories and emotions.

The rogue's memories shocked Fenix into a silence stretching on for a week. Then she finally seemed to have recovered for active duty again so she was sent on another assignment. Only the Neo-Talon never went through with her objective, and went rogue herself. Vanishing quietly.
For two years Fenix mourned the death of Wyvern, having realized the tragic circumstances that drove the super-soldier to fight his own people. During her self-imposed exile, she encountered a being who introduced himself as Inyll, one of the forefathers of the modern Kha'Thur and Iso Naryyn races. Inyll told the Neo-Talon to find passage to a little-known system

It was in this system that the Nirn Conflict started and climaxed. Fenix then crossed paths with a small group of Naryyn led by Rhys of the Iso Naryyn. Over the next few months, Fenix learned from Rhys about the universe and how to discover her true potential.
Afterwards, Fenix took to the stars again, armed with knowledge and newfound power. The young Virtarak felt obligated to give her sisters a chance at freedom and to master their abilities. In this personal crusade, she learned continued to mature and discovered a shocking revelation. In addition to a handful of Neo-Talons, Fenix gained a modest following of Talons. One of these Talons, Artemis, was actually a clone of Wyvern, the only Talon to go rogue and arguably the best in history.

Upon learning Artemis' identity Fenix scorned him, disturbed by the reality that loyal copies of Wyvern were being created. However, as the small band of renegades developed into a tightly-knit family, Fenix apologized to Artemis and the two became close.

Wyvern
Species: Virtarak (Talon)
Age: late 60s at time of death
Gender: Masculine

The title of Talon owes it reputation to the likes of Wyvern. He was among the first generation to be augmented. By the time his name became known across the galaxy, he was the last of the generation ones. His role as a rogue soldier whose name inspired fear persisted even as the augmentation processes of the Talon Project became more and more refined.
Generation three and generations to follow were augmented directly after spawning: more plentiful, faster, but all at the price of experience in battle and war. Even in death, Wyvern's name has been invoked in an illusion that all Talons are just as capable as he was.

None have come since that can approach his level of mastery. The beings that saw him created went to great lengths to find comparable results. They resorted to cloning the deceased super-soldier in the hopes these clones would be able to attain the status of their "father"
During his life, Wyvern was a "marksman" Talon, enhancing his already exceptional skill with ranged weaponry along with his agility and reflexes. His total inflicted casualties is estimated upwards of 300,000; the highest first-hand casualty count in the galaxy.

Irene
Species: Naryyn (Kha'Thur)
Age:
Gender: Female

One of the individuals targeted for the Kha'thur BlackOps program. Irene specialized in close-quarters and stealth techniques, having learned from Wyvern himself. By the time of the crusades, Irene was one of the last special forces troopers from any squad.
Even before the Requiem, Irene was a largely quiet figure in her squad. In her time with Rhys, Sam, and Kyle, Irene rarely opened up to any of them. Rhys did detect that the commando considered them outsiders and felt very uncomfortable speaking to them about personal issues.

This changed slightly when they encountered Fenix, after some hostility, Irene accepted that the Neo-Talon was not an enemy. Afterwards Fenix made a passing reference to Wyvern and the program, causing Irene to demand an explanation for her insight. The Neo-Talon informed the commando that her instructor had perished two years ago.
Irene was silenced by the news and gradually both of them began to speak of the respective pasts. This bond strengthened into a sisterly bond, and lead Irene to open up a little more to their companions. When Fenix went on a mission to free other Neo-Talons, Irene followed her.

Irene would never see her friend's plan reach fruition. During a full-scale Plys'Iea assault, the commando finally faced an opponent she couldn't defeat.

Jared Talbot/Kyle Thane
Species: Naryyn (Kha'Thur)
Age:
Gender: Male

Most people know him as Kyle Thane, one of the Legionnaire's brain-case volunteers. It's astounding how far from the truth that reputation is. Jared Talbot is the only son of Lucille Talbot, the executor for Zenith Technologies. His status as a corporate heir gave him nearly limitless avenues of possibility in the government and corporate world. However, Jared abhored the life as a pampered aristocrat and signed on with the Legion under a false identity against his mother's wishes.
"Kyle Thane" entered the legions under an under-the-table arrangement as both a field testbed for new technology and agent for Zenith.

Lucille Talbot
Species: Naryyn (Kha'Thur)
Age: 428
Gender: Female

The executor for Zenith Technology, one of the Naryyn megacorporations, Lucille was a paragon of business. She had worked her way from a "middle-class" upbringing to the corporate stratosphere through dedication and guile. The only part of her life that had not gone quite as she'd planned resulted in the birth of her son whom she named Jared.
Lucille managed to balance her work with raising a child, hoping he'd take after her and perserve the status their name had gained. However, Jared once again surprised his mother. He signed on with the Legion, a completely volunteer military outfit whose effectiveness barely trumped their notoriety.

Her son's betrayal stung deeply, of all the decisions he could make, Jared chose the one most opposed to his mother's virtues. Lucille fought with her son before her boss intervened. So long as Jared used his military career to help Zenith, he could remain with the Legion or whichever service he wished.
For months Lucille refused to forgive her boss or Jared for their arrangment. Finally, she accepted that Jared had chosen his course and supported him in whatever way she could. For the next 63 years this continued, until the Requiem.
