Born on Planet Terra in 2109, Talos served alongside Crusher Dan during the Crushers' formative years. He participated in foundational operations like asteroid destruction, space lane mapping, and terraforming support, helping establish the group's early reputation.

An emotional setback in 2142, orchestrated by romantic rival Bard to end Talos's relationship with Kei, led Talos to volunteer for a high-risk suicide mission. The mission resulted in catastrophic injuries, requiring cybernetic replacements for approximately 80% of his body. These extensive enhancements grant him immense physical strength, frequently used to protect teammates in combat or hazardous scenarios. His prosthetic left arm conceals a gatling-type machine gun, deployed as a formidable weapon during engagements.

Now a veteran Crusher, Talos serves as a mentor aboard the Minerva under Joe's leadership. He functions as the team's primary pilot and leverages his decades of tactical expertise on missions. His reserved and gruff demeanor contrasts with a deeply ingrained loyalty; he often physically restrains the impulsive young engineer, Ricky, reflecting a protective dynamic. Their relationship includes moments of lighthearted teasing, such as Ricky joking Talos only needs "an oil change" during downtime.

While primarily grounded in professionalism, Talos exhibits dry humor and unwavering dedication to the Crushers' ethical code. He operates as the team's physical anchor, utilizing his cybernetic capabilities and experience to resolve critical situations.
