5 | ->'''Crichton''': Open the door, you soulless pinheaded adolescent pig! |
6 | -->--''Crichton gets a bit fed-up with Talyn.'' |
7 | |
8 | The son of ''Moya''. |
9 | ---- |
10 | * AxCrazy: Not at first, but after repeated traumatic events and the mental stress of his Peacekeeper modifications he becomes extremely trigger-happy. By the end even Crais can barely control him. |
11 | * {{BFG}}: Described as "covered in weapons," but we only see one main gun mounted on a turret, which seems capable of one-shotting just about anything else that comes across him. Even as a newborn, a "low-level blast" was enough to cut him free of Moya's womb, and there was legitimate concern a full-power shot would have outright destroyed her. |
12 | * BilingualDialogue: Talyn, who lacks a Pilot to speak for him, communicates through trills and bloop noises. |
13 | * BreakTheCutie: The kid was practically born insane. |
14 | * EmoTeen: Oh so much. Crichton even calls him out on it when Talyn becomes too bratty and petty (brattiness includes: locking doors on John, stealing his stuff, trying to separate him and auntie Aeryn, and trying to throw him out (into ''space'')). The problem is that he's a [[TeensAreMonsters bratty teenager]] with a ''really big'' {{BFG}}. |
15 | * HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:Voluntarily activates Starburst while inside Scorpius' Command Carrier to destroy the ship and all of the wormhole research contained within.]] |
16 | * LeeroyJenkins: He can get a ''little'' carried away in engaging the enemy, forcing Crais to start playing the voice of reason. |
17 | * LivingMacGuffin: Several plotlines involve Peacekeepers trying to capture him so they can study his modifications. |
18 | %%* LivingShip |
19 | * MeaningfulName: He's named after Aeryn's father at her suggestion. Moya asked her to choose as thanks for helping to soothe Talyn when he was distressed shortly after birth. |
20 | * MommasBoy: A positive example, as despite his emotional problems, Talyn is shown to care deeply for Moya. [[spoiler:At the end of "The Ugly Truth", it's revealed that Talyn ''willingly'' destroyed the Plokavian ship because they carried material that could've posed a threat to her]]. [[spoiler:And if there was ever any doubt before, Talyn agrees to the HeroicSacrifice because Crais tells him, "Moya will soon be enslaved."]] |
21 | ** He also appears to have something of a soft spot for Aeryn as she was the first person to approach him after his birth and helped him to make sense of his Peacekeeper modifications. |
22 | * ShipperOnDeck: In "Green Eyed Monster", it turns out that Talyn has been conspiring to get [[spoiler:Crais and Aeryn]] together, doing weird stuff like cranking up the heat in whatever room they're in. As someone correctly pointed out on the main page: "weirdest example ''ever''". However, since [[spoiler: Aeryn]] is a surrogate mother-figure, as well as [[spoiler: Crais]] being his ''Pilot'', you can see why. |
23 | * SoProudOfYou: When Talyn [[spoiler: sacrifices himself to destroy Scorpius' command carrier]], his mother and Pilot watch at a distance. It is clear that, aside from sorrow, Moya feels extremely proud of what her son has managed to do. |
24 | %%* TriggerHappy |
25 | * WetwareCPU: The Peacekeepers attempted to remove the need for a Pilot in favour of a system that allowed direct connection between a Sebaccean and Talyn. This resulted in the "neural transponder" implant that connects to the back of a humanoid's neck. It's eventuallty discovered that despite the Peacekeepers' attempts, Talyn still formed a vestigial Pilot den which Crichton compares to an appendix. The den is functional enough for Stark to temporarily bond with Talyn. |
26 | * WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity: He's the only Leviathan in the universe that's armed with any sort of weaponry, but [[spoiler: it turns out that whatever the Peacekeepers did drove him crazy]]. |
27 | ** [[spoiler:While his biology likely made him unbalanced, the poor kid might have stood a chance if not for being under constant threat since birth. Crais theorized that it was the Peacekeeper Retrieval Squad hunt that finally pushed Talyn over the edge.]] |
28 | ** [[spoiler:That and the fact that Crais (not exactly stable himself) was Talyn's first captain.]] |
29 | ** [[spoiler:And that time he had Stark (a complete nutjob) for a pilot probably did him no favours either.]] |
30 | ** [[spoiler: It's almost certainly his unfortunate "selection" in Pilots. In one alternate universe where D'Argo was his pilot (and he was named Lo La), he was much more stable.]] |

33 | [[folder:Rovhu]] |
34 | A Peacekeeper prison ship, last assigned to hold a specific passenger... |
35 | ---- |
36 | %%* CapturedByCannibals: Not exactly living the high life. |
37 | * GhostShip: She's become this by the time Crichton and co. find her. |
38 | * PrisonShip: She originally housed criminally insane prisoners. This didn't go well for her. |

42 | ->'''Played by:''' Sean Masterson |
43 | |
44 | [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Rovhu's Pilot]], found by Crichton while exploring the remains of Rovhu. |
45 | ---- |
46 | * CapturedByCannibals: The degraded Peacekeepers that used to be his crew have been cutting off his limbs to eat. GoodThingYouCanHeal is proving to be a major downside for him. |
47 | * DeathSeeker: Having your regrowing arms constantly cut off and eaten will do that. |

51 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MelissaJaffer |
52 | |
53 | Moya's Pilot preceding the one we know. [[spoiler: She was killed by a Peacekeeper firing squad when she wouldn't cooperate with Crais's experiments.]] |
54 | ---- |
55 | * DefiantToTheEnd: [[spoiler: She never yielded to the Peacekeepers]]. |
56 | * WeHardlyKnewYe: [[spoiler: She was killed several years before the start of the series to make way for the current Pilot.]] |
57 | * WalkingSpoiler: For Pilot's backstory. [[spoiler: As well as Aeryn's]]. |

60 | [[folder:Kaarvok]] |
61 | ->''Played By:'' Shane Briant |
62 | |
63 | A former Peacekeeper prisoner of unknown species, with the ability to turn one person into two. After taking over the ship Rovhu, he's been largely using his power [[ImAHumanitarian to get food]] and turn his former guards into savage monsters. |
64 | ---- |
65 | * ExpendableClone: He asserts that the twinning process makes two equal versions of a person... that he's using to make more food for himself and the Xarai. |
66 | * FauxAffablyEvil: Acts like a pleasant conversationalist and not a brain-eating, cannibalistic sociopath. |
67 | * HoistByHisOwnPetard: His twinning power and cannibal family are the end of him. |
68 | * ImAHumanitarian: "All I need is more.... what, Food? Family? Is there a difference?" |
69 | * NothingIsScarier: Everything about him, from his origins to his crimes to his cybernetic parts, are left unexplained. |
70 | * SmallRoleBigImpact: Killed in his only appearance, but his actions hang over Season 3 and the relationship between Crichton and Aeryn for most of the show. |
