"C'mon, Darick, it's only a group of Ortkallans!"

Sargeant Talin Artorus, speaking to his squadmate, Darick, at the battle of Viridia

Talin Artorus was a Jorian sargeant, and a member of Clan Artorus, who served in the Jorian attack force ' Golden Dawn'. He died in an ambush on the urbanized world of Viridia.

Biography 

Talin believed, like many other Jorians, that other species were inferior to them, and he often looked down on others that didn't share his beleifs. He was part of clan Artorus, one of the many biologically related clan members,and as such, often volunteered for missions against Dar'Jorian forces, as was the squads motto. His left shoulder armour had the symbol of his clan, a black heart being peirced by a silver sword. He often trained when aboard the Sword class Star Destroyer, DawnFang, beleiving that physical fitness was extremely important. He was often referred to a joker of sorts, and often played pranks on his squad mates on their off-hours. He used the standard J-16 blaster rifle, as did all others in his squad. 

He fought in the battle of Viridia, in 216 ADK, as part of the Jorian Battle Force 'Golden Dawn'. Talins' disdain for all non-Jorians lead to the his death and the deaths of his squad, when they pursued a group of Ortkallans into a presumably abandoned building. He and the eight other men in his unit were overwhelmed and killed by ambushing Ortkallan forces.

Physical Traits 

Talin had a dragon tatto on his chest, just over his heart, which he believed granted him good luck, especially since he was shot soon after getting it, and survived because the shot had missed his ribs by half a milimetre. He also had several scars, on his arms, and one on the skin above his ribs, from a near blaster bolt miss. He kept himself physically fit, and trained whenever he could, meaning he was a well built man.

Personality and Traits 

Talin was friendly, joking, and generally easy going, except when in battle or on the subject of non-Jorians. He often played practical pranks on his squadmates, who appreciated the jokes, althouh many of them were more than a little concerned with his anti-alien opinions. He cared deeply for those in his clan, and would often put his life on the line for his clan mates, although he often hid his anxiety for a coming battle behind jokes and pranks.
