Talus is Arthegall’s metal companion and seems to be something like an early version of a robot. He wields a flail and can be merciless, with Arthegall often having to restrain him from slaying too many people. Talus represents an absolute idea of justice, which is balanced out by the more nuanced ideas of justice expressed by Arthegall and other characters.
