Obedient to the will of Darth Krayt without question, the apprentice did not hesitate when she killed her own Master. Her final test of loyalty was to slay Ruyn in cold blood.
On the verge of her training's completion, Talon was greatly immersed within the dark side of the Force.

Talon was often tasked with her Master's most important missions, including the capture of the Jedi fugitive Cade Skywalker, and his training in the ways of the dark side of the Force, until her apprentice renounced the One Sith. In this capacity, Talon found herself working alongside her Hand counterpart, Darth Nihl.
Recognizing her unshakable loyalty, Krayt anointed Talon as one of his two Hands, thus making her an extension of the Dark Lord's own will. As a Sith apprentice, she was trained by a fellow Twi'lek Sith Lord named Darth Ruyn, whom she later killed on Krayt's command with a swift decapitating strike of her lightsaber, shortly before ascending to the rank of a full-fledged Sith in Krayt's Order.
