Talos, a cyborg antagonist and ex-agent of Olympus, enforces his will across a post-apocalyptic wasteland under the guise of a messianic mission. Once charged with neutralizing threats for the utopian city-state, he now commands the organization Triton, leveraging manipulation, coercion, and brute force to seize control of dormant superweapons from a global war. His ultimate aim: to forcibly reshape civilization under his own tyrannical vision.
Disillusioned with Olympus’s ideals of collective preservation, Talos prioritizes personal dominance, betraying his former masters during a critical mission to secure a prototype mobile fortress capable of mass annihilation. To unlock its power, he captures Iris, a bioroid with biometric access to the weapon, and brutally interrogates her, executing her protector Olson to extract vital intelligence.
A tactician unbound by morality, Talos manipulates allies and enemies alike—including mercenaries Deunan and Briareos and warlord Two Horns—until his machinations provoke unified retaliation. Enhanced by cybernetic augmentations, he thrives in direct combat but succumbs to fatal overconfidence. After activating the fortress superweapon, a final confrontation aboard the machine ends in his demise, triggering the weapon’s destruction.
His arc traces a descent from loyal enforcer to rogue conqueror, driven by an obsession with power that eclipses former allegiances, cementing his role as a singular, relentless force within the conflict’s pivotal narrative.
