Appearance
A solid figure built on the groundstones of his agile Westphalian and baroque Kladruber heritage, bearing a refined mixture of brawny warmblood build, yet supple lithe. His sable coat prides no scares and wears only facial markings. A noticeable alabaster and rose mask stretches from muzzle to forehead, branching out halfway on both sides of his face, ivory framing the cyan gaze. He also has three vertical, alabaster dots above his nostrils. The trimmed, iro mane stands from a high-arched neckline, the obsidian color interrupted by strikes of white, while the pale ends of his otherwise sable tail nearly trails the ground. Sizable, steelclad hooves provides grip and marks his steadfast stride. A smoky voice wields his words with a slight vernacular Welsh accent, some jargon words marking his speech.

Personality
ETHICAL EGOIST: Believes that each one of us is intimately familiar with our own individual wants, and is therefore uniquely placed to pursue our own wants and needs effectively. However, he does not think the pursuit of self-realization should necesarily be at the expense of others. He will not follow this to a fault, as emotions is unavoidably an imperative factor to his actions and reactions. Because of this he is not prone to offer help to others, but might lend aid to someone if they were to ask.
TRANSIENT: A restless spirit and even though he might be content with settling down, he will commonly choose to stay in the same place for a short amount of time before the lust for adventure beckons. This is a strong trait of wanderlust that shapes most of his actions, conscious or not. Nevertheless, he customarily turns to familiarity after the initial appetence passes. This makes him rarely settle residence with a herd by his own accord, and makes intimate relationships a challenge for both parties involved.
CALCULATED OPPURTUNIST: After releasing repressed emotions of rage and frustration, Talion has grown more calculated and cold. He does not follow others with the same devotion as he once did, and often assesses the value of an action against impending and long term consequences. His basic intention is to create a lasting imprint and achieve his desires by respect and fear. He does not shy from using most means to achieve them, as long as they is within his boundaries of morals and ethic.

History
Born into a high-class family, Talion initially had every prospect of a “comfortable” life ahead of him. The Kingdom of Ethran consisted of several herds, each with their individual leader, yet all had to pledge their loyalty to the King and his cause who ruled over all. Talion’s father was the forerunner of the western herd and a big supporter of the King, his mother a master of artisans and his older brother drafted in the Royal army.
However, those were times of intrigue and restlessness in Ethran. The younger brother of the king, the Crimson prince, grew tired of ineffectiveness as he watched his older brother squander the resources and riches of the kingdom on festivities and merriment, while he saw opportunities of expansion. In silence the prince, a mischievous man, plotted against the King for many years, establishing his own army of loyalist among the herds and outcast mercenaries. Those loyal to the prince wreaked havoc through the lands by his commands, while his own involvement lay veiled.
Little more than half a year before Talion’s first name day, loyalists of the Crimson prince came to his herd cloaked in the King’s colors and declared treason by the hands of Talion’s father. It later became evident that the loyalists had attacked several positions at the same time to hinder the flow of communication between the King’s herds and avoid reinforcements, mass mobilization, as well as hindering any warnings to reach the Capital herd. The Crimson prince therefore marched on the capital and met little resistance, then eventually slew the ill-prepared King, but was killed shortly after by an unknown soldier of the Royal army.
As the news reached the battlefronts, the fighting subsided and the loyalists began to disperse. In the chaos, a stallion by the name Gideon seized Talion from the corpse of his parents and dragged him of the battlefield. Gideon, a seasoned mercenary who had been hired to fight for the prince, saw opportunity in the little colt and taught him in his ways as they traveled across the lands alone and with other mercenary bands. He was also the one, Talion being oblivious of the fact, that slew his parents. When Gideon died, Talion donned his cloak and continued on his travels.
