One thing that came up in the recent chats was that the Red Talon extremists are meant to be based somewhat on the Nazi's, or at the very least, the Germans. It was suggested that we change the name of the Talon's front man, Baron Julius to Baron Werst, to give it more of a German feel.
I'd like to suggest another alternative name for the character - that he be renamed to Baron Manfred von Richthofen, or to some appropriate ponified version of the same - Baron Manfred von Richthoofen (may not work, as Griffins don't have hooves...)
The reasons for this suggestion are thus:
1. Baron von Richthofen is better known by his informal title - The Red Baron, a title that would suit Baron Julius perfectly in his role as a leader of the Red Talons. 2. It is an iconically Germanic name like we are looking for. 3. Would re-enforce the idea that he and the talons are a very dangerous group - the Red Baron is credited with a minimum of 80 air to air kills, and would help to suggest that Baron Julius is a lethal threat in aerial combat

Definitely a badass name - and sounds good to me! Don't know much about the Red Baron, but he was an awesome hero unit in Empire Earth.

I'm going to try and submit sample lines for him shortly. I've got a solid idea of how I want to voice him - Totally obsequious to Fleur, full of false praise and hollow charm, and totally convinced of Griffin superiority. Quick to anger when something dispels his mental illusion.
