Talbot

Talbot was an experienced metalsmith who passed on his knowledge to Zev Raregroove.

History
Long ago, Talbot taught Zev Raregroove the art of metalworking and entrusted him with the creation of Chrome Dokuro's Dying Will Ring. Talbot also created another set of Dying Will Rings that he handed down to Zev, who in turn donated these Rings to the remnants of the Simon Famiglia and instructed them to keep them safe until the "right group" to wield them came along.

In 150,081 CMT, Suzuki Adelheid of the Simon Famiglia deemed SM Shroom, SM Moss, SM Namah, SM Viriathus, and SM Yuuka worthy of wielding the Dying Will Rings that Talbot had made and gifted the Rings to the group - though SM Zev was not given one because Suzuki considered him too unstable. Suzuki informed them that the original creator of their Rings was their version of Zev's former metalworkings teacher, Talbot.

Later that year, Zev told Fran that Talbot had entrusted him with the creation of Chrome's Dying Will Ring. The reason Zev revealed this is because he wanted Fran's input on the forging process.
