The Gray Son of Gotham

Also known as Talon, formerly Dick Grayson.

Biography

Dick Grayson had been chosen to be the next generation of Talon, a vicious assassin of the Court of Owls, but when his parents died during a performance at Haly's Circus, with Bruce Wayne taking him in afterwards, the Court lost their Gray Son of Gotham.

Dick became Robin and later, Nightwing but the Court eventually caught up to him and the next thing he knew was... Nothing.

Conditioned to serve the court, Talon was nothing more than their pawn. Dick Grayson might as well have been dead and really, many thought he was. All of those in the Court, however, knew differently. They had finally got their Talon.

Quick, acrobatic, venemous and brutal in nature, Talon is a fierce foe and after given an order, he won't hesitate to fulfill it. After all, all he knows is the Court. All that matters is the court. But perhaps is loyalty isn't so monochrome. Perhaps, with the right motives, his loyalty could snap.

Perhaps Dick Grayson is still behind the Talon.
