Guys, what was the reasoning behind Talon's choice to stab a dagger inside Kavyn's back and dump his body in the sewers? Is this something that could be deemed a murder or possibly an evil act?
Second question is, does Talons victims include men only or women also?
And why the sewers to dump his friends body? Couldn't the authorities catch him?
Talon killed Kavyn as a result of him failing him and proving unreliable. He figured that he couldn't rely on people as it had caused him to nearly get killed, so he took away what his only liability was at the time.
I'd say Talon kills both men and women, he is an assassin and they kill without indifference.
In the world of Noxious, it's either become strong or die, that's the Noxian way. No one would care about dumped bodies piling up, as the Noxians would only see them as the results of failed people who were too weak.
I think he did what he had to do in order to survive. Consider the lifestyle of Noxians: The strong live and the weak die. It doesn't necessarily make him evil. Evil is a strong word to attach to Talon. It'd be like calling Darius evil, since they have similar circumstances in their rise to power. Or even Swain. In Noxus, power and strength is revered among all. No matter what form it takes. Talon killed his friend, that's true, but did he prolong his suffering? Did he sadistically mock him and torture him? No. He killed him, and removed what he perceived to be an obstacle in his path.
If you want an evil character per say, Xerath would be considered it evil on a moral point of view. He betrayed his king, and when he was sealed with Renekton, he tortured him until he was driven mad.
Elise could be considered evil, as she traded her humanity for power and immortality, and leads others to their doom to be devoured by a giant spider beast in a cavern in god knows where.
Talon isn't evil, per say. Kavyn failed him. He nearly got Talon caught, and cost him the food in the process. He was of no use to him. So Talon killed him, ironically, with the dagger he abandoned Talon for. Regardless of whether or not he was right, it was the concept of strength and survival drilled into Talon's head. Is it murder? Sure. Is it evil? Not so much. As other people mentioned, he didn't torture him. He just knifed him. It was a 'survival of the fittest' type act. Now, am I biased because I am a Talon main? Probably. But anyway, 'evil' wouldn't quite be the correct term. Perhaps 'cold'.
As for his victims, I am almost 100% certain gender does not play a role to Talon on his targets. If Marcus DuCouteau says kill this person, Talon will.
As for the sewers, it actually makes plenty of sense. The authorities aren't going to be combing the sewers in case of a dead urchin. Even if they saw a body of a dead urchin, they'd probably think 'good riddance'. After all, the urchins are the ones stealing the food. And I doubt it was just Kavyn that was put in the sewers. One of Talon's quotes is, "Another body for the gutter.". So the gutters or sewers were obviously a fine place to dump a body after a successful kill.
