Talia (storyline)
Talia is a mysterious woman. In her time on Delta V, she has found herself under the tutelage of both Baelius and Caden, though her education was never completed for obvious reasons. That being the case, she has forged a new path for the Tech Mage discipline. She has chosen to use her powers in tandem with machinery to maximize technological potential. Ever wonder why Tech Mages are so skilled with guns? Studies like the ones Talia performs are the precursor to those deadly abilities. She is a pragmatist, something not often found amongst Tech Mages, and she uses that trait to hone her abilities in ways never seen before.
But all the hypothesizing and methodical research and testing don't help to explain just who Talia truly is. She's brilliant, yes. Of that there can be no doubt. But where do her loyalties lie?
During the War, Talia was a Legion affiliate. Her duties were simple enough, most of them pertaining to the maintenance of androids and augmentation of critically wounded soldiers. She was a glorified medic, for the most part, which is all that The Legion has ever seen in her because of her unorthodox methods and motives. It is for this reason that they may not have this skilled, young, Tech Mage on their side after all.
Talia, since the war, has made many valuable connections outside of The Legion and Baelius' sphere of influence. Most of these are with ex-Uprising soldiers who have gone underground to form resistance cells geared toward sabotage and guerrilla fighting. Some even resort to kidnapping for ransom. It is these ruthless types that Talia seems to fit in well, not because she is ruthless, herself, but because her guileful and seductive nature easily manipulates the men and women who hold positions of limited power. She recognized early on that people in power want control, and she likes to take it from them.
On one hand she assists the Administrators who exorcise the law as if it were a spiked gauntlet. And on the other she works closely with the remnants of the Uprising and the now Exiles as something teetering dangerously on the edge of becoming a full-blown terrorist.
Is Talia evil? No. Misguided? Perhaps. Her intimate ties to Caden certainly warrant a CAT scan or two. The most important things to remember about her are that she is both dangerous and unpredictable. Legion and Exile alike should keep a cautious eye on this beautiful mystery.
