As transcribed from the books of the Cabilis Historians...
Talon Southpaw was the fastest pugilist ever to train in the Court of Pain. His speed rivaled that of the great Grandmaster Tynn. He could often be found in the local taverns demonstrating the awesome speeds of his fist and tail.
Although already possessing legendary speed with his right arm, the speed of his left arm was not to come to blossom for several decades. Soon after achieving the Rung of Tynn Master, Talon went on a wandering retreat into the dangerous outlands of Kunark. He was not seen for nearly five years. Upon his return to Sebilis he told of his captivity within an ancient fortress of the Iksar now claimed by a rebel band of Sarnak. He survived the intense torture with numerous scars which proved his months of pain. The worst scars were never to be seen. Tallon worn a robe which he never removed. The scars beneath were for no Iksar's eyes. His determination to survive gave him an inner strength no other monk could lay claim to.
He returned to Sebilis possessing incredible, almost blinding speed with his left arm. He could tap a foe's arm with his left and strike with the same as if having a third arm! He was indeed a paragon of the Swifttails. All the Empire respected or feared him. None would spar him outside of the taverns: with grog comes stupidity.
Upon his death in, Grandmaster Tynn removed his hands in a private ceremony. The fists were then sealed in a canopic which would stay within the Tower of Kurn. His body was destroyed and scattered to the winds as dust.
