Project Werewolf: Talbot

Finally we reach the last operative for Project Werewolf, their first successful enhanced soldier: Talbot. This nearly indestructible killing machine doesn't play well with others.

Talbot (Matthew Everett)

Werewolf Version 1.0

Description: Heavy musk, impassive face, strictly nocturnal

Defining Quirks: adrenaline addict (dilated pupils, too fast speech) (using a Pharmacy or Diagnosis spend), slurs speech, expressionless

The first of Dr. Joseph Gerhard’s successes, Talbot is unique in that he worked for the agency before his transformation. Injured in the line of duty, this hardened patriot volunteered for the operation. It not only saved his life, the procedure granted him superhuman strength and speed, a bloodhound's ability to track by scent and the stamina of an elephant.

In my game, Talbot even survived being at ground zero of the explosion that took out the Castle and the rest of Project Werewolf. But it turns out that a grenade launcher shot to the chest was one explosion too much for him.

Talbot's name has become a legend in the European espionage circuit, a boogeyman that the CIA turns loose when they want someone killed, broken, or grabbed violently. To date he has never failed.

His condition requires regular doses of refined adrenaline which he injects religiously four times a day.

Talbot handles jobs for the CIA personally: assassinations, retrieval, and other violence. He works alone and he is not discreet.
