​

Born on Tatooine to a small-time criminal father and a courtesan mother, the only thing he remembers relating to his past was his name; Talo. At a very young age, Talo lost his mother to slavery by the Hutt cartels and the last thing he remembers was his father leaving town for a job only to never return.


Talo spent the next few years growing up alone on the harsh streets of Mos Eisley, slowly but effectively developing his skills as a thief and pickpocket. The boy even earned himself a reputation on Mos Eisley as the 'Mos Eisley Pickpocket'... or more affectionately 'the Womp Rat'. One day, at the age of 14, Talo made the mistake of pickpocketing a Mandalorian that happened to be in town - and after a lengthy chase, Talo was cornered by the esteemed warrior. Talo raised his fists ready to fight for his life, although the Mandalorian instead commended Talo for both his skills and drive, offering to take the boy to Clan Krayt and under his wing.


Evaluating his options, Talo came to the conclusion that he had a chance of a much better life by joining this Mandalorian and so, agreed. The Mandalorian named Styp took him back to the Krayt camps where he would begin his new life as a Foundling, befriending a clan-born member along the way. Talo spent the next six years in the Fighting Corps before undertaking Resol'nare and becoming a true Mandalorian.

​

Talo is a young reserved and somewhat stoic Mandalorian, a demeanour he was forced to develop as an orphan on the streets of Mos Eisely. His stoic nature serves as a protective wall to conceal his true feelings. Talo has a tendency for sarcasm and often shows his knack for dark humour, it helped him get through his time in the Fighting Corps. The Mandalorian is cynical and untrusting as a result of his upbringing, only trusting those part of his clan, he has a hard time even trusting Mandalorians from other clans - Talo cares deeply for his fellow clan members and would die for them as they are his only family.

Although widely stoic, Talo has rare flashes of extreme anger caused by delicate triggers. Despite his stoic exterior and apparent ruthlessness during combat - Talo is extremely sensitive and tender when someone was close enough to him.

Like many Mandalorians, Talo has an honourable nature - always honouring his promises when he can, refusal to kill children or innocents as well as having a distaste for unnecessary death. While he expects others to betray him, he would never intentionally betray someone else.

Talo is deemed reckless of sorts, despite his composed nature - in heated situations, he runs on instinct and becomes careless, having a tendency to jump headfirst into danger in order to resolve the conflict.

Talo's reckless and stoic nature masks a deep insecurity of not feeling worthy of being Mandalorian - he struggles to step into his role as one and as a member of Clan Krayt. While he has sworn to the Creed and is seen by his people as Mandalorian, Talo finds it difficult to see it himself.

A P P E A R A N C E​

Talo is a young human male that stands at six feet tall. With a strict workout routine Talo has a shredded body type weighing 166 lbs.

As a Mandalorian, he almost never takes his beskar'gam off and as a result of his un-trusting nature, he chooses to wear his helmet at all times, its also a method of hiding his feelings.

Unmasked, Talo is olive-skinned with dark brown eyes and scarlet red hair. Due to his stoic nature, he is described as having an 'intense look' whenever unmasked as well as being well-known for his red hair and 'wild eyes'.
