 The world of Jon's birth remains unkown, but it is known that he was orphaned at a very early age.  Following his parents' deaths, he was raised by an abusive adoptive family, leading to bouts of depression.  As soon as he was old enough, he joined the Imperial Army to escape his past.

While in the service, Jon began to fight his depression with drugs--legal and illegal.  His drug abuse was discovered, and he was dishonorably discharged from the service.  Knowing little but violence, Jon became a mercenary.

Jon's skills were without question, and he made a fairly good living as a mercenary.  Shortly after the Alliance won the Battle of Yavin, Jon crossed paths with Wraith Task Force and joined their ranks.  He served with Wraith for a brief time before, unknown to his teammates, his addiction worsened.  Jon disappeared from Wraith.  The remaining members of Wraith, particularly commanding officer Dirk Badgewick, are concerned about the security risk he could potentially pose. As the members of Wraith would eventually learn, that concern was well-founded.

Talbain's additction began to spiral out of control following his departure from Wraith.  Desperately craving his next high, but lacking the resources to purchase more, Talbain made the difficult decision to cast aside his normally fierce loyalty to friends and comrades.  He approached the Empire and offered them information concerning the Rebellion in exchange for supplying him with drugs.

Jon was brought before Emperor Palpatine, who sensed an untapped Force potential within the mercenary.  Talbain was placed under the tutelage of Darth Vader, who rapidly awakened that potential.  Weakened by his addiction, it was a simple matter for Vader to warp Talbain into following the path of the dark side.

Talbain was the first of the Imperial forces to arrive on Tamaran, making his way into Tamaran Installation and heralding the start of the Battle of Tamaran.  While he engaged Trevor Vanth in lightsaber combat, Tamaran Installation set about evacuation and defense.  Although not as skilled as Vanth, Talbain held his own in combat due to his more agressive nature.  The battle itself was inconclusive, with Vanth disengaging to make his own escape as the rest of the Empire's forces began entering the base.
