My Story: Talon is an intense people watcher, carrying on the tradition of his parents Delphi & Tursi, and grandparents Mr. Gipper & Little Bit. The eldest male of his half siblings (Pax, Merina, Aleta, Santini and Gambit), he is a brilliant, athletic guy, confident in his abilities. His research projects have been published in scientific journals. Brains and brawn, with a dose of silliness thrown in for fun – that’s Talon!
