Matt Talon

Matt Talon was a Human male who served as a light scout trooper in the First Sun Mobile Regiment mercenary organization during the Galactic Civil War. During his time as a First Sun trooper, he was wounded during a battle which left him with a distinguishing scar on his face, which ran from his right eye down to the right corner of his mouth. After the company he served in was almost completely wiped out in an Imperial attack, he became disillusioned with his mercenary service and began wandering the galaxy. During that time, he continued to wear his First Sun Mobile battle armor and found work as a bounty hunter.

Talon pursued his new career with a vicious streak, which, combined with his disparaging view of the Galactic Empire, began to lead him down a dark path. He eventually joined the Rebel Alliance, and he was assigned to work with a Sullustan named Thila aboard the starship Arkanian Dawn. The decision turned out to work in Talon's favor, and through his work with Thila, he developed a deep-seated loyalty for her. The two worked together to free slaves, often enslaved by the Empire, and Talon's work with Thila helped him channel his rage and disillusionment into something productive—the Alliance's fight against the Empire.
