• Current Official Bio
• Unofficial Updated Bio
• Old Official Bio

This is Talus' official bio currently found in his champion page in-game.

Talus might still be young and overly-optimistic, but he's got big plans. After almost losing his family to an angry mob who refused to accept the otherworldly Ska'drin as neighbors, he set out on a quest for knowledge.

From the shores of an abandoned island paradise to the darkened corridors of the Deepwerks, he found his answers — and a weapon — in the research papers of Torvald. Unlocking his inborn aptitude right when the Resistance rose up to oppose the Magistrate, he joined them eager to put his newfound abilities to work and prove that the Ska'drin deserve a place in the Realm. Now, he acts as the face of a new movement: one that looks to ensure the prosperity of his people. Let's see where this guy can go!

This is an unofficial version of Talus' bio intended to more clearly present all currently known information regarding him. Sources can be found here.

While most Ska'drin hide away in fear, the young Talus has other plans, proudly presenting his ska'drin heritage, believing if people simply get to know him, they'll see the ska'drins aren't worth hating. As part of this plan, Talus set out on a quest for knowledge, from abandoned island paradises to the Deepwerks facility where he stole Torvald's research, from which he learned some of the history and magic of his people. When the Crystal War broke out, Talus joined the Resistance, hoping to prove the ska'drin deserve a place in the Realm.

Following House Aico gaining leadership of the Magistrate, Talus joined Zhin's New Resistance.

According to Atlas, in the Lost Future, Talus would end up dying at some point.

This was Talus' in-game bio prior to the The Damned Frontier update. It's no longer considered canon.

From the shores of an abandoned island paradise to the darkened corridors of the Deepwerks, he uncovered forgotten truths as well as unlocking his inborn aptitude.

Summary

Talus is a flank champion with an interesting playstyle. This consists of shuffling up the backline of the opponent team and teleporting back to safety shortly before it becomes dangerous. The Flanker has a weapon that is particularly effective at short and medium range. Talus' skill set is unique and above all his ultimate skill is an interesting mix of revelation, teleportation and punch with a recoil.

Lore

• Talus' openness about being a Ska'drin is a rarity.
• Talus learned a lot about the history and magic of the Ska'drin during his time at Deepwerks via Torvald's research.
  • Though this was less Torvald teaching Talus and more Talus stealing Torvald's research, or in Talus' eyes, stealing it back. Talus isn't fond of Torvald's research in general because he's not doing it for the good of the ska'drin, but rather for the sake of science and learning how to use it. Despite this, Torvald isn't intentionally evil or selfish about it.
• The topic of Talus' age is surprisingly unnecessarily convoluted. Initially, it was said during Talus' reveal that he's a young kid, which is clearly backed up by his appearance and personality. Years later, however, one of the developers was asked about Maeve's age, to which it was said that all playable characters are of adult age. This same event with the same developer later on, where it was said that every "human / near human" is of adult age, which logically would include Talus as well; despite the confusion these events caused, the developer never specified further for any other characters such as Talus. Later still, a different developer backed up these answers and did clarify on a few of the more confusing champions, which included Talus, saying that Talus is apparently supposed to be an adult, despite the initial statement and Talus' appearance / personality, especially compared to other ska'drin such as Mal'Damba and Vatu.
• The mark that appears when Vatu uses his Ambush ability appears to be a combination of the marks that appear when Talus uses Rune of Travel, as well as his ultimate True Power.
• A unique mark also appears when Vatu his Dash ability, and as part of his ultimate that somewhat resembles the mark that appears when Talus uses Rune of Travel.
  • This mark also used to appear when Vatu used his default emote, but this was eventually removed.
• When Corvus uses Projection, the indicator showing where he'll teleport to features the same symbol that appears when Talus uses Rune of Travel.
• Talus supposedly has two of his in-game weapon, though it's not known if this was an error.
• Based on a dev statement revealing Viktor to be around 5'9 or 175cm tall and comparing it to model sizes in-game and out of game, it was discovered that Talus would be around 4'9 or 149cm tall.

Cameos

Talus appears in the following content:

• Cinematics and Trailers
  • A Conflict Reignited - Cinematic
  • Emergence - Cinematic
  • Terminus' Teaser Trailer

• Cards
  • Light of Dawn - Furia Card

• Avatars
  • New Year's Celebration*

• Other
  • End Times Story

Notable Characters that appear in Talus' own content includes:

• Cinematics and Trailers
  • Barik, Fernando, Drogoz, Lex, Tyra, and Viktor - Talus' Teaser Trailer*

• Cards
  • Makoa - Antediluvian and Relic Affinity*

References

• The "Nimbus" emote is likely in reference the cloud Sun Wukong uses as his preferred mode of transport from Journey to the West.
• Talus references Lex's ultimate, which has become a meme in the Paladins community, during his teaser trailer.
• Soon after in the same trailer, Talus asks Barik if he's ever tried shawarma; in reference to the after-credits scene in the 2012 Avengers film.
• The talent "Faustian Bargain" is a reference to a term of the same name, which originates from an old German legend about a man named Faust who made a pact with the devil after growing dissatisfied with his life.

Concepts

• In the blog post regarding the removal of the 'Parts and Pieces' skin system, various concepts were shown off to showcase what new types of skins could be created with the new system. Among these concepts was a Talus skin, seemingly themed after the Abyss, though the style does also bear resemblance to the Darkness as well.

Other

• Oddly, Talus' horns are absent in the A Conflict Reignited lore cinematic.
• Talus calls Barik "Mr. B" in his teaser trailer, yet doesn't in-game.
• Prior to lip syncing becoming more common from Octavia's teaser trailer onward, Talus is one of the only champions to ever speak with their mouth visibly moving. He shares this trait with Ash, Imani, Tiberius, and Vivian.
• The mark that appears when Talus uses Rune of Travel also appears when Ska'drin and Scorned Ash use Shoulder Bash.
  • The mark that appears when Talus uses his ultimate also appears when these skins use their ultimate.
• A somewhat unique mark used to appear when Talus used Blitz Upper.
• Talus' codename was "Demon".<ref.File:Champion Code Names.png</ref>
• In older versions of Paladins, there used to be a number of additional recolors of default champions. For Talus, these recolors included the Moonstone skin.

Champion Skins

• Geist
  • A geist is a type of ghost or spirit.

• Oni
  • This skin is based on creatures from Japanese folklore by the same name.
  • Prior to the removal of the Parts and Pieces system, this skin's mask could be removed, revealing a unique face texture; however, with the removal of the system, this face texture could no longer be seen.
  • This skin had several unused splash art concepts prior to the final composition being settled on.
  • This skin's splash art appears as a spray.
  • This skin shares its theme with Soul Eater Jenos, Soulweaver Lian, Death Mage Lian, Aka Oni Tiberius, Aoi Oni Tiberius, and Bloody Bakemono Koga.

• Trick or Treat
  • The kill taunt against Fernando "Is that an Ares cosplay?" (▶️) references Fernando's God of War skin.
  • This skin appears in the Hallowed Talus avatar.
  • This skin shares its theme with Pumpking Bomb King and Bewitching Evie.

• Wukong / Monkey-King
  • These skins are based and named after the Chinese God Sun Wukong, also known as the Monkey King.
  • The line "YOU DARE TO CHALLENGE ME?" (▶️) might be a reference to Makoa's ultimate voice line "You challenge Makoa?!".
  • Soul Briar Grover is present in these skins' splash art.
  • The Wukong skin appears in the Mischievous and Wukong avatars.
  • These skins were designed by arty_SNAPS for the Community Battle Pass.
    • This makes them some of the few skins to have been designed by a community member, sharing this trait with Ska'drin Ash, Soul Briar Grover, Dark Monarch Lian, Sweet Shop Evie, and the respective recolors of the former three.
  • These skins were part of the Community Battle Pass alongside Ska'drin Ash, Scorned Ash, Soul Briar Grover, Seeping Corruption Grover, Dark Monarch Lian, and Death-Goddess Lian.
