The Talon Brigade is an elite unit in the Erathian army, and is mentioned in Heroes of Might and Magic III: Armageddon's Blade. Queen Catherine was a captain in the Talon Brigade, and Morgan Kendal was a lieutenant under her command during her original tour of duty. During this time, he found a half-Vori baby. The Talon Brigade raised this baby, named Gelu, as their own, and he was "essentially born into the Erathian military". This contributed to him later joining the Forest Guard.
