| Background |
----- Talpa formed the Dynasty by the power of
his armor. With his new found power he waged his first war on the mortal
world. Talpa was however opposed by several warlords from the Nether World
who believed him to be too ambitious. Lord Saber Strike is the most notable
of Talpa's opposition. Talpa, however, quickly overcame this setback.
----- One thousand years ago Talpa opened the
gateway to the mortal world. He was faced with the armies of feudal Japan
which he easily slaughtered. The Ancient then confronted him and was able
to banish him back to the Nether World.
----- Talpa's soulless armor remained behind,
and he vowed that by its power he would return. So the Ancient split the
armor into 9 separate armors, in order to diffuse its power.
-----
Approximately Four hundred years ago Talpa began recruiting
his Dark Warlords from the mortal world. He regained control of 4 of the
armors by corrupting their wearers. He also kidnapped a member of the Ancient's
clan and began her training. During her kidnapping Talpa killed off all of
the Ancient's clan except for one.
----- In the late 1990s Talpa attacked the mortal
world. He was however met with stiff opposition from the 5 Ronin Warriors.
He lost control of his warrior Anubis. In a decisive battle he was able to
kill the Ancient that had thwarted him so long ago. He eventually regained
all 9 of the Armors for a brief time. Ryo with the help of the Spirit of
the Ancient broke free from Talpa and was able to call upon the powers of
all of the Ronin armors to form the Armor of Inferno. With this armor Ryo
was able to drive Talpa back to the Nether World.
----- Talpa was not done with his attack on the
mortal world though. His remaining Warlords captured 3 of the Ronin Warriors.
He held them prisoner and would later use their power to create a sword,
which was given to Dara so that he could defeat Ryo and Rowen.
----- Talpa then sent Lady Kayura, the member
of the Ancient's clan that he had kidnapped and trained so long ago to take
care of the Ryo and Rowen (who were the 2 remaining Ronins). With the
help of Anubis, who took on the role of the Ancient, they were able to defeat
Lady Kayura. Ryo and Rowen were then able to travel to the Nether World
to free their companions.
----- Talpa was not done yet. He now sought
to control the White Armor of Inferno. He continued to send Lady Kayura
to try to capture the remaining Ronins. He called upon the aids of
the dark priest, Badamon, to assist in the acquisition of the White Armor.
-----
Finally with the help of Lady Kayura, then
possessed by Badamon, Talpa captured all 9 Armors and used them to begin
the destruction of the boundary between the mortal world and the Nether World.
The power of the Jewel of Life enabled the Ronin's and converted warlords
to break free of Talpa's prison.
----- By now Talpa's empire was crumbling. He
lost Anubis a long time ago. When the other three Dark Warlords realized
that Talpa was only using them, the finally turned against him. Anubis
was able to break Badamon's control over Kayura. With Talpa's forces
were now depleated, he made his last ditch effort to take the Mortal World.
----- Talpa's breach between dimensions was finally
large enough. He entered the Mortal World once more and began to take
control of the people there. In the final show down between Ryo and
Talpa, Ryo was able to defeat Talpa by projecting the Armor of Inferno on
to him and using the power of good stored in it to hold down Talpa. The
other 4 Ronins then concentrated their full power and attacked Talpa.
Finally the Jewel of Life reacted to the battle and the combine attack
destroyed Talpa.
| Powers and Abilities |
----- Talpa's powers are many indeed. He not only
has all of the resources of the Dynasty at his command but he has his own
awesome array of powers as well.
----- Talpa feeds off of the negative emotions
of the Mortal World. The more suffering and despair present in this world
the stronger he grows. This energy caused him to become a giant when he attacked
the Mortal world in the 1990s.
-----
Being a demon warlord Talpa is skilled at martial arts and the
use of most forms of weapons. He also has many mystical powers available
to him. Some of these include control over the elements and clairvoyance
and clairaudience, the ability to see and hear what transpires elsewhere
on the planet. He has also demonstrated powerful telekinesis (when he dropped
an office building on the Ronin).
----- Perhaps Talpa's most devastating power is
his ability to seize control of mortal technology. So far no piece of technology
has been able to resist Talpa's control. He has taken control of cars, monorails,
military weapons, etc. He will frequently turn this technology against its
human wielders.
----- Talpa's powers do not end there. He
has an almost complete understanding of the 9 Armors. He has over 1000
years of experience with magic and the supernatural. He has many contacts
and resources. It is also hinted at that he has a large (but not seen
in the show) army of humans who have given themselves over to his power.
