Talon Lore Question

TenshouSNK·Feb 20, 2015·1 votes·1,663 views

What up guys.

Okay, so I had a few questions down my sleeves.

How did Talon kill his best friend, I forgot his name, was it kaiven or something? How did he kill him and where did he hide the body?
Why did he kill his best friend, wouldn't that make him a murderer?
Does Talon murder people, i.e men and women? Or men only? How would he treat a female corpse as oppose to a typical male? Would he dump a woman's body into the gutter / sewers just how he does with his targets that are men?
Why does fanfic push the idea of having Quinn acquainted with Talon, when we know that it would be impossible for these two to have a relationship considering a) Talon is Noxian b) Talon is a killer, why would Quinn have a relationship with a murderer?

Peace homies

Don't know if his old League judgment (http://forums.na.leagueoflegends.com/board/showthread.php?t=1121498) still counts as canon, but as I recall...

He cut Kavyn's throat with a knife Kavyn himself had stolen, deciding that someone with such poor judgment was too much of a liability to keep around. He dumped the body in the sewers afterward.
I don't know if it makes him a murderer. A killer yes, certainly. Someone with ruthless pragmatism. But 'murder' implies a deliberate act of will that 'killer' doesn't. In my opinion, he killed people if he had something to gain by it, in self defense, or on General Du Couteau's orders, but none of those seem like murders properly so called. Killings, assassinations, sure. Not murders.
Talon probably doesn't see gender when he kills. Men or women, it's the same to him. If you're wondering if he takes certain... liberties... with a woman's body afterward, I'm certain the answer would be no. Even if he were so inclined, assassins don't stick around once the job is done. That's how assassins become dead assassins.
Talon played a role in Quinn's rise to the Demacian elite (she cleared his name, in a sense, by tracking down a different assassin while everyone was convinced Talon was the killer). I think people associate her with him because she's the Demacian answer to cloak-and-dagger types like Talon and Katarina -- not a big soldier in armor but a stealthy scout who is able to track down assassins and other spies. There's also a rumor (I think unlikely, if interesting) that Talon is actually Quinn's lost twin brother. As for a relationship between them.... well, stranger things have happened, but I doubt she'd consider dating a Noxian even if he were willing to consider dating a Demacian.

But if they did date for arguments sake, would they make a strong team together?

Anything is possible in a hypothetical situation, but I don't think so. She has all the partner she needs in Valor, and he doesn't seem like a team player. He'll work for someone, but that's not the same.

If you wanted to write a fanfic about them, I think he might work with her if he thought she had information about General Du Couteau, but you'd better believe he'd be gritting his teeth the entire time and ready to drop her the instant she was no longer useful to him.
