## Description

### Species

Talon

Widely known as the oldest active talon in Talon society. Karl is the most powerful, influential and wisest talon outside of the Lord General himself. His records date all the way back to the very beginning of Talon society thus making him over 13 billion years of age. Karl has overseen the rise and fall of every Lord General, He has overseen the creation and advancement of talon technology from basic space travel to intergalactic transportation. Karl was living in the age of which talon has yet to breach outside of their own solar system. Due to Karl’s duration, the title of Supreme Inquisitor has only ever been held by Karl. Among the Supreme Overseers, it is unofficially recognized that Karl is the de facto leader of the Talon Empire in periods between talon eras.

## The Great Ascension

The Great Ascension is the official period of which talon society instilled the Lord General title and began space travel. It is at this period that the first Era of the Talon Empire started. Karl was an important figure in this time as he proposed the creation of the Imperial Inquisition to stop the rapid independence of separate talon houses and to hunt down lost talons in space.

## Early life

Due to the nature of Karl’s age, most of the documents of his early life have been lost or are so ancient no one can translate them. The furthest his translated records reach are when the Imperial Inquisition was created and Karl was promoted to Supreme Inquisitor during the Great Ascension.

## Count of Talon Society

During the beginning of Talon society, the title of count was granted to the members of early talon society who were considered “aristocrats” or heads of noble talon houses. However, as the talon empire progressed and left the stage of aristocracy and house independence the title became inactive and soon replaced it with Earlship on Talos. However, the title is still active to whom it was given to before this removal period. Thus, Karl still officially has the title of Count. Karl is the only known talon to still process the title as it was removed during the late period of the Great Ascension. Any other talons that had it have died or have lost it in documents over the time. The title itself gives extremely powerful perks. Some perks include: immunity from Inquisitive judgement, right to own land and right to retire without permission.

## Supreme Inquisitor of the Imperial Inquisition

The title of Supreme Inquisitor has only ever been held by one talon, Supreme General Karl I. Karl was the founding father of the Imperial Inquisition and has been in office since it’s start.

## Hunting Lost Purity

Karl is one of the few talons still active in the Inquisition that has hunted and executed lost purity. During Karl’s early periods as Supreme Inquisitor it was his main job to find, judge and kill purity that has lost their way. However, Karl has also executed talons that may show signs of treason. In early talon society, execution of talons was more widely accepted and allowed. However, as the Empire processed such practices became only a last resort outside of lost purity.

## Reputation

Among talon officers and low ranked overseers, Karl is seen to be the ideal member of talon society. Among other Supreme Overseers, Karl is highly feared due to the influence and power he holds. Other Supreme Overseers know that it wouldn't be out of his power to have someone removed from the mantle of Supreme Overseer with a single recommendation to the Lord General. Karl is the vanguard that protects the Imperial Inquisition from any changes. A notable example, is the subject of removing the Purity Inquisition and allaying judgement power directly to regional Grand Generals. However, no Supreme Overseer would bring up such a topic in fear of being judged treasonous by Karl.
