Jon Talbain

Jon was born to a human mother and werewolf father.

His mother died shortly after giving birth to him, and Jon had no contact with his father.

Although he was alone, he had lived a peaceful life as a human.

Then, one full-moon night, the beast within him awoke and he turned into a werewolf.

The transformation caused him to be shunned from human society.

Though shocked by discovering he was a Darkstalker, Talbain harbored no animosity towards his parents, whom had never been a part of his life.

Talbain cursed his fate, but was determined not to let the his primal instincts consume him.

Following his inner voice, he devoted himself to fighting and pushing himself past his limits, believing that if he retained his inner humanity, he might regain his physical humanity as well.

After Pyron was defeated, Talbain's curse was lifted and regained his human form.

Despite this, the adults of society still rejected him, and he found acceptance only amongst children.

Although he sustained his human form for many years, he often felt that the beast still dwelled within him.

One day, he heard a voice in the back of his mind and he turned into a werewolf once again.

It was then that Talbain discovered it would be impossible for him to be rid of his curse.

During the battles in Majigen, Talbain came face to face with his internal darkness in the form of an evil version of himself, Dark Talbain.

After defeating his malevolent doppelganger, Jon was finally able to accept his "curse" and resolved to live his life as a wolf.

Regardless of this, he retained his humanity, and showed great compassion for children, even caring for two orphans (as seen in his Darkstalkers 3 ending).

In issue three of the UDON comics series, Jon meets Felicia during his travels, and the two debate as to whether or not humans will ever be able to accept the existence of Darkstalkers, with Jon arguing that it was an impossibility.

Felicia rebutted that humans not liking them was just a "bumps in the road," and that one day humans and Darkstalkers would live in harmony.

Felicia then convinced Talbain to join her so that she could prove to him that humans were not all bad, and together they traveled to the orphanage where she grew up.
