Talos
A bronze giant who circles Crete as an ancient mechanical guardian.
Legend File
Talos patrols Crete like a mythic automaton, a giant body of bronze with a single vulnerable vein. He throws stones at approaching ships and enforces the island's border. Long before modern robots, Talos imagined artificial protection as something both magnificent and brittle: one pin removed, and the machine bleeds out.
Source Framing
Greek myth of Talos as a bronze guardian of Crete, especially Argonautica traditions around Jason, Medea, and his vulnerable vein.
