When the plan fails, Claw usually punishes Talon and blames him for everything.
Talon is very vain (patricularly about his stylish hair) and self-centered, but deep down, he is somewhat lonely and insecure about the abuse that his family gives him, and just wants them to be proud of him.
In Midnight Madness, his fear of baldness is revealed.
