Talon's Killing Technique

TenshouSNK · 2015-03-04T07:47:55.995Z

1) So in terms of Talons killing style. He is an assassin. So why does he dump his victims into moats, sewers, gutters, wouldn't that allow it to be traced back to him? The victims body would eventually float out of the canals and someone would find it no? 2) So far, I believe, his victims have been men. Does he also kill women as well? And is not that kinda weird for him to kill a woman target and treat it the same way he does with the usual targets, like dumping em around in sewers? 3) So Talon and Quinn are rivals. Does that mean they hate each other or what? Is it possible for Talon to work with Quinn in the future? Let's say, maybe, finding the Noxian General? In simple, would they ever team up? Considering they both have abilities that work well together. The rivalry is what I do not understand. Did they ever meet each other? 4) Lastly, who would win, 1v1 lore wise, Quinn vs Talon? If they had a duel?

I don't know what you are talking about exactly. As far as I remember he dropped the bodies of the assassin's guild in the sewers to show them that he isn't afraid of them, but apart from that I am not aware of any other murders being mentioned in his lore.
Talon is an equal oppurtunity assassin, as far as I know, but as mentioned in 1. I don't know about the dumping in the sewers thing.
Most Rivals that get mentioned in the Lore pages are either hostilities or just rivalries. Seeing as they both are part of the seret forces of their countries and had to gain their rank from scratch, trough hard work, they do share some similarities which could lead to a rivalry. Quinn's lore also mentions an assassin, which could be Talon:

Quinn and Valor proved themselves on one critical mission, tracking down a Noxian assassin who had evaded an entire Demacian battalion.

I am not sure about teaming up, as they have no real reason to do so (part of the enemies military, Quinn wouldn't care about an Noxian general).

Assassin vs ranger usually works like this: Whoever finds the enemy first wins :)

So what did he do with Kavyn's body?

Also I was asking, if any of his victims were women.

So in a fictional circumstance, would a scout and assassin, Quinn and Talon make a good duo team? For instance, if there was a mission, would both abilities combined make them very deadly? Do you see them having a confrontation in the future?

Quote: He remembered the blood on his hands, he remembered dropping the body into the sewer--the first of many.

Kavyn definetly ended up in the sewers, but it is never said that he did that with all victims.

Probably yes, I mean he is an assassin and some of his target's should have been female, but I can't really prove it. Edit: I already anwered that btw."equal oppurtunity" meaning that a target is a target for him, regardless of status, gender etc.

Quinn and Valor are already a duo-team and have a good setup (sniper and spotter) adding Talon to the mix could work (Valor scouts, Talon goes in for the kill and Quinn assists his escape with her range) and would definetly make them much deadlier, than they already are.

It really depends on the mission. Quinn excels at tracking down and Talon at assassinating single targets and combined they could also pull of ambushes and even some skirmishes, but they don't really improve their performance as much as they compliment their weaknesses.

I doubt they will have a confronation soon, as Talon is busy finding General Du Couteau and Demacia has (as far as I know) nothing to do with his disappearence.

I hope I was able to explain my POV and can help you with any questions you might have.

Thanks for the response.

Just 2 last questions.

Wouldn't have someone found Kavyn's body in the sewers, as canals eventually lead to outside of the city? I mean, wouldn't someone find Kavyn body floating around down underneath in the sewers? Also in your opinion, was it murder to have killed Kavyn?

Do you think he would treat the body of a woman target/victim any different as oppose to a man? In terms of getting rid of the body after his kill.

Talon turned and began to crawl down the passage. Before long, his fingers and knees squelched as the ground beneath him became wet and cold-he'd reached the old and unused pipe that led into Noxus' underground chambers, most of them connected to the sewer network.

He might have dropped him in an unused part or directly into a water stream, but he would have been a corpse of many and hard to find in the other garbage. Unless someone was actively searching for him or lead there by fate, he would just end up as fishfood.

Oh, about bringing him back from the dead...

Talon clenched the blade in his fist and dashed forward, reaching to put the dagger to Kavyn's throat...

A cut throat ain't something you cure easily.

I'd go more for manslaughter, seeing as Talon nearly died, just because Kavyn wanted some quick cash, and was therefore upset. Additionaly Noxians seem to have an affinity for the art of killing making Talon's action more instinctunal than thought out.

I think that Talon is a lot less crude after serving Du Couteau and his daughters, but since he is never implied to have any special interactions with females, you can spin your headcanons both ways.
