Talos
Alter Ego: N/A
Occupation: N/A
Known Relatives: N/A
Group Affiliation: Monster Society
Base of Operations: Transylvania
Background/History:
Talos in mythology was a man made of bronze who fought and was defeated by the
Argonauts. His strength was legendary and he had been known to be placed in fire
to be heated and used to torture prisoners. It is said that he was defeated by
removing a plug in his heel causing the ichor that empowered him to bleed out.
Whether Talos is the actual figure from Greek mythology or something entirely
different is a mystery. The bronze strongman has the ability to heat up and burn
his foes is usually silent and seems to be almost an automaton. Some believe
that Gremlin discovered the shell and found a way to replace the ichor, others
that he is a mutant or a robot. In any case, there appears to be a large, welded
patch visible on his left ankle.
Personality/Motivations:
He seems devoid of emotion and exists only to do the bidding of Gremlin. He
shows no signs of having any regard for his personal well being, he simply
fights until he is defeated or he wins unless ordered otherwise.
