Talos is a veteran Crusher member with over 40 years of service. He forged the early days of space exploration and the Crusher Union alongside founder Crusher Dan. Decades of perilous missions left him with catastrophic injuries, resulting in cybernetic replacements for roughly 80 percent of his body. These enhancements include a left arm housing a built-in machine gun, granting formidable combat strength.

His long career shaped a gruff, reserved, and no-nonsense personality. Talos frequently acts as a stabilizing force within Joe's team, specifically restraining the impulsive young engineer Ricky during crises. Despite his stern exterior, he shows unwavering loyalty to his teammates and the Crusher code.

Following a romantic loss where deception cost him the woman Kei to Bard, Talos volunteered for a high-risk suicide mission. This mission caused the injuries leading to his extensive cybernetic reconstruction. The physical transformation deepened his reserve but never weakened his Crusher commitment.

As the primary pilot of the starship Minerva, Talos leverages his vast experience and cybernetic augmentations to navigate complex operations. His mechanical components provide strategic advantages in combat and survival situations. He maintains a working relationship with the robot Dongo, another veteran from Crusher Dan's early days.

In the OVAs, Talos pilots the Minerva on critical missions, such as adjusting an ice prison asteroid's orbit to prevent planetary disaster and rescuing an officer carrying a planet-destroying weapon. His combat expertise and cybernetic capabilities remain essential to the team's success in these high-stakes assignments.
