Talon Company Merc

s are members of Talon Company, an exceptionally brutal and amoral faction of mercenaries and hit-men. Unlike other factions, they are nearly exclusively male. They wear the unique Talon Combat Armor, and usually carry small arms, such as chinese assault rifles, and combat shotguns.

Operations in the Capital Wasteland
If the player has good karma, a thousand-cap bounty will be placed on his or her head and Talon Company Mercs will periodically attempt to collect. They may also be contracted by Mr. Burke if the player chooses to disarm the bomb in Megaton. However, when sent by Mr. Burke, their V.A.T.S. caption changes to "Hitman". Talon Company search parties typically operate in three-man squads when patrolling the wastes looking for the player character.

Three Dog mentions that Talon Company mercs accept jobs that other mercenary companies won't do. Reilly of Reilly's Rangers notes her particular dislike of Talon Company, recalling a job they did which involved the killing of defenseless women and children, and commenting that they give all mercenaries a bad name. If the player converses with her rudely she will mention that the player sounds like a Talon Company Merc.

Fort Bannister seems to be their main base of operations, being that it is exclusively populated by Talon Mercenaries, and contains an even larger underground base crawling with more high level mercs. Bannister also happens to be the dwelling of Talon's ridiculously powerful commander, Jabsco.

Besides the fixed locations and roving packs of bounty hunters, there is a rare random encounter in which the player can encounter a group of Talon Company Mercs, even if they have never had good Karma. Despite not having a contract to kill the player, they are just as hostile towards him/her as those that do.

Effects of player actions
Whenever your Karma is good or very good these mercs might appear in random encounters and attack you on sight.
