Not much is known of his past, other than the fact he's from Archet. No records can be found on a Redthorn family ever living within Archet and the survivors of the town don't know of any Talus who lived there either. The records could easily have been burnt within the great fire and the community that once thrived was brought down drasticly in numbers too, not by death but by being forced to live elsewhere. So where Talus says he comes from is a bit of a mystery if people was to look into it, almost as if he appeared out fo the Blue in Bree-Land one day.

 When Talus first came into contact with people he never used his name and instead went by an alias in order to get work which was 'Redfox' or simply 'Red'. His dealings were not exactly hidden away like most mercenary types as he was always open about it in order to get work more easily. Never really trusted anyone and often seemed angry at the world, starting fights verbally or physically for no reason, almost as if he enjoyed the random chaos, and would never back down either... In short Talus was a bit of a menace.

 As time went on he began to trust people slowly and eventually he'd call these people his friends, going out of his way to help them even if diving into blind danger to do it. One of which he got strong feelings for, Alyesha, a dark haired woman who was able to subdue the raging anger within Talus. These two eventually got engaged and soon after a child was on the way. This happiness was not to last long, the woman who he grew to love left with no message, due to Talus' loyalty to his friends and even more so to his loved ones, out he went on a long search for her. As far as the Misty mountains he searched, this was the first time he had ever left Bree-Land.

 Unfamiliour with the world he was unable to find the land of Gondor where his love came from, forced to admit defeat he had no other choice but to return home and went into a depression and cut himself off from everyone. Thinking over what could have gone wrong he blamed himself, looking back at all the things he did to bring misery to others and soon began to hate what he was. This was a major turning point, deciding to turn his life around and try do things to help others (Still not easily trusting people though).

 This was a very hard step for the rogue, Talus, as a peaceful life never suited him. It wasn't long before he found himself in other mercanary groups and slipping back into old ways. It was those he'd see as friends (but never would admit it) who helped him stay on his desired path. To keep himself from causing others grief he decided to become a scout for hire instead, working on his own rather than for a malicious organisation with no standards. Working in this way saved him from boredom and from slipping back into old ways, for once, he'd found peace.

 All the anger that Talus once felt seemed to have faded away, the cold and shut off man was now rather open, ditching his old Alias' to simply go by his name to people (but some still call him Red). No more tavern fights, verbal abuse or random moodswings made Tal even more approachable to others. But deep down he's always seeking excitement and danger, these things could tempt the now stable rogue back into his old ways.

(( Obviously theres much more, but alot of things have to be found out through means of Rp. Only wanted to sum up the last few years briefly in order to give people some idea of Tal's progression since I first created him a few years ago ))
