Talon (League of Legends)

==Summary==
Talon is the knife in the darkness, a merciless killer able to strike without warning and escape before any alarm is raised. He carved out a dangerous reputation on the brutal streets of Noxus, where he was forced to fight, kill, and steal to survive. Adopted by the notorious Du Couteau family, he now plies his deadly trade at the empire's command, assassinating enemy leaders, captains, and heroes...as well as any Noxian foolish enough to earn the scorn of their masters.

Intelligence: Gifted (Talon is a master bladesman, widely considered the third greatest knife wielder in the entire world only after Katarina and her father. Talon possesses a natural affinity for blades, having wielded them since his early childhood out of necessity for survival and demonstrating such a level of skill that even as a child his mastery of the blade quickly marked him as a threat, causing Noxian guilds to send assassins after him to either recruit him or kill him, an act which always ended in the assassins being killed despite the assassination attempts becoming more and more deadly. After finally being recruited by General Du Couteau, Talon became the General's personal prodigy, training with him on a daily basis when he wasnt on assassination missions for the empire. As an assassin, Talon holds a reputation as a merciless killer able to strike without warning and escape before any alarm is raised, seamlessly blending into shadows at a moments notice, making no noise when he moves, able to control the muscles in his body to the point that he can remain physically motionless for hours without so much as a muscle twitch, and being able to stalk his targets for extended periods of time without ever being detected, even if those targets are master assassins themselves. When preparing to assassinate someone he is able to in moments formulate perfect plans that account for all possible factors that could cause even the slightest chance of failure, including things such as small changes in the slope of the ground, the strength and direction of the wind, so as to ensure he kills his opponent with a single cut. In combat Talon is hyper-observant, able to easily pick out an opponent's attack patterns, identify the smallest of weaknesses or openings the instant they appear, and predict their attacks by reading the subtle moves they make when they are fighting, even when their opponent is constantly adapting and changing their fighting style mid-combat.)
Weaknesses: None notable
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
*Blade's End: Talon's abilities wound enemy champions and monsters every time they deal damage, stacking up to 3 times. Talon's next basic attack against a target with 3 wounds will consume them, causing the target to bleed for additional damage.
*Noxian Diplomacy: Talon dashes towards a target enemy, dealing physical damage on arrival. Casting the ability close to the target causes Talon to instead stab it for bonus physical damage. If Noxian Diplomacy kills the target, Talon heals.
*Rake: Talon sends out a volley of daggers, dealing physical damage to all enemies they pass through. The daggers linger before flying back to Talon, dealing physical damage to all enemies they pass through and slowing them.
*Assassin's Path: Talon dashes over a target structure or piece of terrain.
*Shadow Assault: Talon disperses a ring of blades, dealing physical damage to all enemies hit, while gaining invisibility and bonus movement speed. When Talon emerges from invisibility, the blades converge to his location, dealing the same physical damage to all enemies they pass through. Breaking invisibility with a basic attack or Noxian Diplomacy causes the blades to converge to his target instead.
