Felix Harmon

"*Beware of the Court of Owls that watches all the time, ruling Gotham from a shadowed perch behind granite and lime. They watch you at your hearth. They watch you in your bed. Speak not a whispered word of them... or they'll send the Talon for your head.*"
—Duela Doe[src]

**Felix Harmon** was one of many assassins for the Court of Owls, known as Talon.

## Biography

### Butcher of Gotham

Felix Harmon was a famous knife thrower in Haly's Circus in the early 1900s. Harmon was also known as the Butcher of Gotham, a serial killer, who terrorized the gaslit streets of Gotham by dismembering his victims. He started to work for the Court of Owls when they offered his daughter, Eunice Harmon a life of luxury. Harmon was eventually arrested and condemned to execution. The Court used the last of their Electrum to allow Harmon to survive his hanging and transform him into an immortal assassin.

### Hunting down the Gotham Knights

After Ford fails to kill Turner, Duela, Cullen, and Harper, the Talon hunts him down and cuts off his head with a sword in the parking garage of GCPD.

The Talon tracks Turner and Carrie down to Wayne Tower, where he attempts to kill the two of them after they break into Bruce's office, but they manage to escape. However, he continues his pursuit and follows Duela to an antiquities dealer, who the Talon kills before chasing her into the parking lot, where she locks herself inside an impenetrable Wayne Security vehicle. Unable to force his way inside, Talon punctures the gas tank and sets the vehicle ablaze. He watches as the fire grows until Turner and Carrie arrive, holding off the Talon long enough for the Row siblings to help Duela escape.
