''The Order'' was an ancient, secret organization led by the Nobleman Richard Maxwell, who had a network of agents that helped him with his quest for justice. Motivated by the death and abuse of his wife and children by the hands of a corrupt Baron, Richard started the "Order" as a means to protect the innocent and prevent the same tragedy from happening to anyone else.

Richard had agents scattered throughout the different kingdoms, and where there was trouble, Richard would strike.

The Order of the Talon's main role was to gather intelligence on the corrupt, and swiftly take them out in the shadows. Richard had agents scattered throughout the different kingdoms, and where there was trouble, Richard would strike. Richard used intimidation to strike fear into his enemies. He theorized that if his enemies were too afraid to fight, then half his work was already done. He crafted and wore armor with a bird motif, and always struck at night time or in the dark. His silhouette and giant frame intimidated his enemies, eventually earning him a reputation of being something not from this world. Richard would learn from various teachers the power of strategy and propaganda. He had his agents of "The Order" spread rumors and help circulate stories from kingdom to kingdom about a "demon" who had come from hell to punish and eat the souls of the wicked. The "Demon"s legend would soon grow, and by the time the renaissance came around the legend of the "TalonKnight" would be well known throughout Europe. The tale of a once noble knight who sold his soul to the devil to save his beloved, and now acts as the devil's personal bodyguard would become folklore, and many interpretations would be shared among different cultures. Parents would tell tales to discipline thier naughty children, while the evil and corrupt members of society became more wary about harming the innocent, as many wicked had fallen to the so called TalonKnight. |
