Skull, the Arion. Skull is one of the last survivors of a race of warriors genetically created to be the perfect weapon of war. The Arions' light blue skin, enhanced strength, cunning, and keen tracking sense makes even one of them a formidable foe for an entire platoon. Talon, the Ariel. Talon is an outcast among his race of benevolent philosophers, the first genetically created race. The Ariels have been given superior intellect, the peak of "human" physical attributes, and wings that carry them even further above normal men. Skull and Talon. Two unconventional men, trying to live up to the legacy of their fathers while finding their place in a clockwork world full of humans and mutants, Skull and Talon struggle to survive in a world built by the uneasy partnership of forgotten magic and late-century science. Partnered by fate, bound by destiny-this is the legend of Skull and Talon.
