For all we know, some second-rank Talons might still be around.. After all, Korbolo Dom claimed the title "Master of Talon".. kalam wiped out his best, but that doesn't mean he didn't leave some behind on Quon Tali.. heh...

Korbolo's Talon aren't the old Talon of Dancer's, as far as we're made to believe.

. Baudin and Hawl were Talons, but they are both also dead. We don't know of any living Talons as of RG.

I could have sworn we saw a Talon in RG, one of the Marines,,, cant remember his name off the top of my head...

We learn it about it when it goes to his point of view for a page or two...he belonged to it because of his Father?? maybe... I hope im not going nuts.

Throatslitter, hes reminescing when they are babysitting that brullyg guy on the island.

The passage is in pg 438 of the uk mmpb

"Surly had seen to that...her agents had failed in tracking down Troatslitter after all"

Got to say, I didn't pick up on this when reading RG. Is it clear that Throatslitter was a Talon though, rather than a criminal or other dissident who would've been on the run?

I mailed my book to my brother today so I cant double check it, but I am pretty sure he was a Talon, it didn’t come out in say but I believe it was implied.

Maybe some one could post a more complete quote....

-oh and thanks for saying im not nuts...positive reinforcements help out the ego.

"Fourteen years of age Throatslitter found himself in the company of secretive of old men and women the why and the how were without relevance even back then. His future was set out before him in measured strides and not even the gods could drive him from this cold path. He wondered about his old masters from time to time all dead of course. Surly had seen to that. Not that death meant failure. Her agents had failed in tracking down Throatslitter after all and he doubted he was the only one to evade the claws. He also wondered if he was still on the path, torn away as he had been from the malazan empire. But he was a patien man one in his profession had to be after all."

Since the claws were trying to track him down plus the "still on the path" part, I'm pretty sure he was definitely a talon.

Hmm didn't even think of that.. i assumed he belonged to some Li Hengese resistance/mage cult, but a Talon? that will be interesting, esp. what he'll be doing now...
