- INTRODUCING CALVIN ROSE
Life before the Court: Calvin Rose was eight years old when his father locked him in an old dog kennel and threw away the key. He kept hitting the chain to the gate with a rock for three nights with no progress. On the third night, he found the chain's weak spot and hit it off, running from his home until his legs gave out. He soon discovered an old man who performed at Haly's Circus, who took him in and trained him to become an escape artist.
Over that summer, he could pick any lock that you could throw at him. By age ten, he knew fourteen different ways to escape from a straitjacket. When the old man passed away, Calvin took over his act. When Calvin was thirteen, he was set for a star act of the Gotham spectacular: the biggest show of the year. However, Mr. Haly took him to a private performance for the Court of Owls. He did his usual performance, albeit in the dark. It was the first time since the kennel that Calvin felt trapped, but he manages to calm himself and escape. Mr. Haly gave him over to the man from the Court, where he agrees to join the court so that he can get rid of evil people.
- Grand Escape from the Court:
After undergoing years of training to become a Talon, Calvin is instructed to kill the Talon that he is meant to replace. As a final test, he is put into a maze that he must complete. However, he manages to escape from the maze (being the first one to ever do this) and is accepted into the Court.
He was sent on a mission to break into the apartment of the late Eric Washington, whose company Security had been developing the most advanced security systems for years. Since his death, the company - and his apartment - had been inherited by his twenty-three-year-old daughter Casey, much to the chagrin of his investors.
The Court had ordered Calvin to bring an end to the Washington bloodline. Until he had broken into the apartment and prepared himself for the murder he would have to commit, Calvin had not thought why the Court had not specifically asked him to target Casey Washington. This was because she had a two-year-old daughter named Sarah. He started to feel sick as he realized that these were not bad people, so he knocked Casey out and escaped with her and Sarah, fleeing the Court's wrath in the form of other Talons who wanted to bring him back and kill him in the process.
During this time Calvin changed his name to Alex Cain and found himself living with Theo Cain. He was able to get seven years of happiness before the Court of Owls hunted him down. Part of him was glad Theo was out so that he didnât get killed by his past mistakes. When he refused to return to service they killed him making it look like he was just another sad case of Overdosing.
- Talon Lives Again:
After his death, Calvin's system was infused with a chemical compound called "Electrum" that could reanimate dead tissue and heal living tissue over and over again. This process was done in tantum of brainwashing process to turn Calvin back into the perfect weapon. Â His memory is very faded given he can remember his training and missions but he doesnât remember the 7 years he led a normal life with Theo or disobeying the Court initially. Â
Due to the Electrum  coursing through his veins he must return to the Court to get another shot of Electrum to keep living. Being stronger then most he can go about four days without needing to be pushed back into the pod but he does have a dependence upon it making even more loyal to the Court of Owls.
Currently he was relocated to New York, while trying to get himself off the Electrum doses he feel into a deep coma. Their Talon not being actives he was moved to a facility out here to use what they could to replicate the success story he was with little results.
He has only just woken up and a side effect of the medicine and what he can only explain as being pushed into coma but he remembers everything about the fact heâd already escaped the Court once living a perfectly normal life with Theo Cain. With a new resolve to take back his life and break away from the Court.
