Talimor Dekatt

*"You took everything away from me - my mother's love, my father's affection, and now you're here to take away my life! Go ahead and do it, isn't this why you came?!" ~ Talimor to Noerin*

**Talimor Dekatt** was an Elven spy and wizard, as well as part of Elva's government elite. He briefly interacted with the Nameless Brotherhood and acted as a minor antagonistic force against them, and more specifically - against his twin brother Noerin.

## **Description**

Talimor was an High Elf of short stature (about 160cm, similar to his brother's), with pointed ears, fair skin, blue eyes and, differing from his twin brother, long flowing blonde hair. His attire consisted of clothes in black or dark browns, usually hard leather, with highlights of light blue, similar to his brother's clothing.

## **Personality**

Talimor was shown to be a person of ruthless character and was prone to violence. He was also apparently quite mysterious and assertive, as well as a strong leader, as described by both Spionin and later Noerin. He appeared to be quite secretive, never sharing he had a twin brother with his fellow spies, even after being informed that they had encountered said brother posing as him.

Talimor also showed that he had extreme repressed anger, lashing out violently and going on long insult-laden tirades against Noerin, and even killing without hesitation when he perceived a person as lying. He did not appear to value his life as much as he valued getting revenge against his enemies, even being willing to attempt a murder-suicide to take them down. Despite this, he exhibited a degree of self-loathing when confronted by Gladys, stating that he would have nobody left to get love from and that he likely did not deserve it.

## **Abilities and Powers**

### Spellcasting

Talimor was a powerful spellcaster, seemingly specializing in spells of a destructive nature. He showed the ability to shoot out bolts of lightning, create flaming spheres, energy missiles and cones of frigid wind. He was also capable of close range teleportation, creating illusory copies of himself and manifesting energy barriers to block attacks. He proficient in the use of countering magic, being adept at preventing other spellcasters from using their spells against him.

### Dwarven Automatic Hunter

Talimor had a Dwarven Automatic Hunter automaton under his command. It is unknown where he acquired it. The automaton would follow his commands only and unquestioningly, being armed with large blades, energy and paralysing beams and tough armour, as well as being able to phase in and out of reality.

## **Appearances**

### Background

Talimor and Noerin grew up together in the great city of Elva, where they were part of a weakened royal family. Talimor was born some time before Noerin, presumably a few hours, because the brothers' mother - Lady Twyndel Dekatt - died in childbirth after Noerin was born, a fact that later fuelled Talimor's hatred for his brother. Due to her untimely death, the boys' father, who had married into the royal family and was said to not have been a capable ruler to begin with, fell into a melancholy and turned to drink. Talimor was deprived of attention from his father, as the little love he gave his children was split between him and his brother, who he perceived as inferior and unworthy.

As Talimor came of age he took up the title of head of the house and, with subtle manipulations, turned most of the court against Noerin before finally banishing him from the country. Sometime before this he also married a high-born Elven noble by the name of Arnys Morell.

### "Emilbel" Arc

Talimor was first referenced by Noerin when he used the same name as a fake name during the Brotherhood's stay in Emilbell, the fake identity was used several times afterwards. Noerin also learned that his brother was somehow involved with the Elven Spy Network when Spionin and Lariel confused him for his brother and inquired why he had left his post in Magistris.

### "Magistris" Arc

Talimor first made an in-person appearance when Gladys and Noerin followed information about an informant from House Gornik heading to a remote warehouse in Magistris. The two followed the man there and encountered Talimor, who, upon assuming the informant had brought people with him, ordered an automaton under his command to kill the informant and his companions. A fight broke out between him, the automaton, Noerin and Gladys where he demonstrated that he was skilled in spell casting, swiftly dispatching and capturing both Gladys and Noerin.

Talimor was encountered again when, with the help of Spionin, Grevant, Teena Iskaar and Dustin attempted to rescue Noerin and Gladys from the Elven Spy Network's cells. After preparing a diversion, Talimor, along with Lariel, their prisoners and Spionin, had escaped into the Magistris sewers. The Brotherhood were able to catch up and a fight broke out, with Talimor calling in his automatic hunter to aid him in a fight. Spionin dispatched Lariel, knocking her out with a spell and was able to summon a Water Elemental Beast to hold down the automatic hunter long enough for the Brotherhood members to take down Talimor. This did not happen as he proved too strong for them, incapacitating Dustin, Spionin and Grevant before Noerin and Gladys were awoken and freed from their binds. As the fight continued, Talimor became more and more enraged, slinging hateful insults at Noerin, at one point begging him to kill him, as he claimed Noerin had already taken everything from him, except his life. Noerin, on the other hand, chose not to attack his brother and concentrated on the automaton. Talimor was stabbed by Teena Iskaar and knocked out, but before falling, he was able to order his automatic hunter to kill everyone in the tunnel but him. The automaton proved quite a challenge, knocking out both Noerin and Dustin, and the group was left pre-occupied, which allowed Talimor enough time to recover and begin limping away. Gladys noticed this and chased him down, pleading with him to surrender. While at first hesitant, Talimor began to show signs of losing resolve, as Gladys began berating him, telling him that there was no one left in the world to love him even if he killed his brother. In an act of apparent desperation Talimor teleported to the place where Noerin had fallen, preparing a fire spell with the intent to kill them both. This was stopped short, however, as a hidden Teena blasted Talimor with a flaming arrow, searing his face and killing him. His body was carried away by his brother, to be buried back at his home in Elva.

## **Relationships**

* **Noerin** - Talimor had a very strained relationship with his brother, blaming him for why his life had went sour and essentially pinning every bad event that happened in his life on his brother, with the two greatest events being his mother's death during his brother's birth and his father's neglect in the face of his brother. He claimed to loathe Noerin, asserting that he would have no problems with dying or being tortured if it meant knowing that his brother was finally dead. This was best illustrated when he attempted to use a powerful flame spell on both himself and his brother in order to kill them both.
* **Gladys** - Noerin claimed, after his and Gladys' encounter with Talimor, that she had a very similar personality to the one he and his brother had been told their mother had. He insinuated that perhaps Talimor picked up on this and may have had positive or romantic feelings for Gladys.
* **Spionin** - Spionin seems to have been at least a relatively close friend of Talimor, because he was very much both surprised and upset by his betrayal when the both of them, along with Lariel and their two prisoners were escaping through a sewer canal.
* **Arnys** - His relationship with his spouse were never revealed, but she was shown griefing over his death, begrudging Noerin and presumably instilling his status of exile in the Elven government circles.
