Talon

Talon is a Siphon, a magic user who can heal others by taking on all or a portion of their injury or affliction. Siphons are rare, and often accompany Paladins on dangerous missions where they will likely be required to trade their life for the Paladins. Talon has hidden his Siphon powers until now, getting by as a common thief, since any honest job would require him to reveal his power. Unfortunately, he has finally been caught. For his penance, he must accompany a disgraced paladin and two other criminals on an almost impossible quest.
