Talos was initially raised by the Druids that serve the witch, Haggar, and the Galra Emperor. He had a sheltered childhood, devoted to his studies - namely history, lore, alchemy, politics and of course, Druidic magic. He developed a fierce love of knowledge, discovery and the ancient past.

However, he was cast from the order for failing to proceed with a ritual execution, and left for dead. Healed by rebels, he maintained his studies as best he could, using his Magic only to help and heal.

His contacts with the rebels put him on a path that intersected with others who would become his friends. His strongest connection was with the nature-loving Galra outcast, N’re - who was a halfbreed just like him.

Talos was selected for the same deep-space mission to find out what happened to the original Paladins, and the Emperor Zarkon - before the Galra did.

Knowledge - more than anything else in the world, Talos wants to understand the ancient history of his people, as well as the Alteans, of Druidic lore and the power of Quintessence. He is also a gifted healer and finds it difficult to resist a Being in need.

He is generally a charismatic, if eccentric, individual.

Curiosity/Obsession - Talos will brave just about anything to learn something,but this can lead to obsession.

Talos is a Galra hybrid, having the pointed ears of a Galra, but horns and white hair from an unknown alien race. There are similarities between him and another Galra, Acxa.
