" | "The three most fearsome blade masters in Valoran are linked to the house of Du Couteau: my father, Talon, and myself. Let whoever dares challenge us." |
Talon is the blade that lies in the dark and a ruthless assassin who strikes without warning only to escape before anyone notices his presence. He made a dangerous reputation on the brutal streets of Noxus, where he was forced to fight, kill, and steal in order to survive. After being adopted by the notable Du Couteau family, he placed his deadly trade at the command of the empire, where he slays enemy leaders, captains, and heroes ... as well as any Noxian fool enough to earn the scorn of their masters. .

Blade's Shadow
Talon's earliest memories are the dark underground corridors of Noxus and the reassuring steel of a sword. You don't remember family, affection, or kindness. Rather, he finds company in the clink of stolen gold and the safety of a wall behind him. Alive thanks to his sharp wit and his prowess in theft, Talon made his way in the seedy underworld of Noxus. His mastery of the sword soon made him look like a threat, and the Noxian guilds sent assassins to him with one demand: join them or die. In response, he threw the corpses of his pursuers into the Noxus pit.
Assassination attempts increased in frequency until an assailant engaged Talon, sword against sword, in a fight of force. To his surprise, Talon was disarmed before the sword of his enemy; then, the assassin revealed himself as General Du Couteau. The General offered Talon the choice between dying at his hands or living as an agent of the Noxian High Command. Talon chose life, on the condition that he serve only Du Couteau, since he respected no other orders than those of those whom he could not defeat.
Talon remained in the shadows, executing under Du Couteau secret missions that took him from the frozen lands of the Freljord to the inner sanctuaries of Demacia itself. When the general was gone, Talon considered demanding his freedom, but he had developed immense respect for Du Couteau after years in his service. He becomes obsessed with finding out the general's whereabouts, and explores the lands in search of those responsible for Du Couteau's disappearance.
