Thomas Andrews

Talon (By Court of Owls

## History

### Early Life

Not much is known about Thomas' Early Life, however this is known. Thomas was raised without a father, so his mother was just doing whatever she could to help raise her only son. When Thomas was 12 he was kidnapped by an organization called the Court of Owls. When he woke up he saw his birth father, who actually knew about the kidnapping since he was a Talon and would offer him a choice, train or die.

### Life with the Court

In his years of training, Thomas was forged into a weapon to kill for the court. He became a killing machine, learning several different types of martial arts. Some of these include Judo, Muay Tai, Brazilian Jiu Jitsum Krav Maga, and and Aikido. These years met also being brainwashed for days on end, not knowing when the pain of this would end. As he sat there waiting for his missions he would also study the history of Gotham.

One day, Thomas was told by the Court to kill Mario Falcone. It was to prove to the Roman that not even he was free from the Court. While Mario walks through the streets of Gotham and  comes across Two Face's old hideout and finds Diamond Jack, one of his associates, who was already dead. He asks where Two Face was, then finds out what this is all about, Sofia Falcone. At a construction site, Mario Falcone is there waiting for Gilda to arrive but instead Thomas does.

When Mario sees a Talon, he tries to escape with Sofai threatening to kill her for setting him up. But, she denies it all a With a gun to her head. However, this does not save Mario as Thomas throws a throwing knife into Mario's head, killing him instantly. Then looking at Sofia he tells her that her family is not safe from the organization before disappearing right in front of her.

After the death of this Falcone, Thomas started to break away from his brainwashing. By the time the Court figured this out it was too late, when they went to go make contact with the now freed Andrew's kid he was gone. He took his armor and went to head to the one place that he could hone his skills and hopefully felt at home.

### Life with the League

With years of travel under Thomas' belt he would arrive at 'Eth Alth'eban, the Sacred City of the League of Assassin's. Traversing through the city he would see all sorts of peoples look at him until he made his way to the Temple. Inside he would see a young boy named Davon who he would befriend for years to come. Through the years Davon and Thomas would undergo harsh and bitter training leaving them both Thomas at Peak Human Physical Condition and Davon at the same, but what he didn't know was that his best friend had powers. Thomas would tell Davon of all the adventures and troubles he went through growing up and how he somhow still loved his father despite his sadistic brainwashing.

Over the course of the next four years Thomas was trained in the arts of swordsmanship, archery, stealth and killing in both the quickest and most discreet methods or the most painful and drawn out ways. Thomas noticed how similar the Court was to the League, its members seemed very devoted to Ra's. After a day of training Davon was called by Ra's to go on a mission of sorts...

### Betrayal

When Davon returned from his mission Thomas took note of the strange behavior of his friend, but when the two went to sleep he didn't hear his friend leave, the ultimate choice for Davon was to keep this secret from Davon and pretend like it never happened or leave and try to find a way to tell him. Waking up the next morning Thomas was called to Ra's throne room, walking in he would see the ruler taking down assassin's left and right before looking at the young adult.

Ra's would call Thomas "Jalaad" (Executioner) for what he was capable of. When Ra's told the news of Thomas' death to the him, Thomas would vow his veagence to those that committed such an atrosity. What this was really doing was sharpening a blade for which Ra's could point and execute those who were worthy to die in his eyes. Thomas would spend years, killing those who he thought had murdered his father with no mercy and actually enjoyed it. Every time he returned Ra's would reward him with treats such as his own room, and etc. He even allowed Thomas to create his own mask to stand out from the rest of the normal assassins in his army. Hearing the news from around the world of a "Terminator" killing anyone he wanted, Thomas took interest in this person. Thomas even molded his own helmet in his vision.

After creating his own helmet this is when it all happened, Thomas discovered that his so called best friend had superpowers. For leaving him in a hellhole that Thomas now respected and actually liked he would get his hands on a drug or a miracle vitamin called "Miraclo". This drug would give Thomas powers such as Superhuman Strength, Durability, Stamina, Agility, and accelerated healing.

## Personality

Thomas is extremely ruthless and a dedicated member of the leauge assassins. He was shown to have a respectful and honourable side of him, as shown with Davon when he first joined. As he respected Davon for being his friend and showing him that life isn't only about darkness. However, when he was betrayed by Davon when being left and later being told that he had killed his parents made Thomas impulsive, reckless, aggressive, violent, and bent on revenge against him, and anyone he cared about. This shows how physopathic and delusional he truly is, like when he brutally killed Mario Falcone in front of his sister.
