Talon Company Merc

Talon Company mercs are members of the Talon Company, a faction of mercenaries in 2277.

Background
If you have good or very good Karma, a 1000 cap bounty will be placed on your head, and Talon Company mercs holding a Private contract will periodically attempt to collect. Talon Company search parties operate in squads of different sizes dependent on your level.

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 the 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 acts as their main base of operations in the Capital Wasteland, seeing that it is exclusively populated by Talon mercenaries and contains an even larger underground base crawling with more high level mercs. Bannister is also where you will find Talon's commander, Commander Jabsco.

They can also be found fighting super mutants at The Capitol Building.

There are several random encounters in which the player can encounter a group of Talon Company mercs.

The Broken Steel DLC adds a 4th rank of Talon Company merc, with higher health and better armor, that appears at higher levels. Even at level 30, Rank 4 Talon Company mercs are a relatively uncommon encounter. They are typically found in random encounters, rather than in fixed locations such as Fort Bannister. They are quite tough opponents, with good armor and very high health (More than twice that found on a rank 3) on par with that of an non-player character companion.

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