Biography:
"Talisman" is a callsign of one of the most skilled and battle-hardened fighter pilots of the Emmerian Air Force, the leader of the 8th Air Wing, 28th Tactical Fighter Squadron "Garuda". Prior to the Emmerian-Estovakian War, he was assigned to the Eastern Air Defense Division in 2013 and put in charge of Gracemeria's defense.

Talisman appeared on the front on August 30th, 2015. During that day, Estovakian forces started their assault on Emmeria's capital Gracemaria, beginning with the disabling of the King's Bridge by two Su-33 fighters.

Talisman fought bravely and well, and the battle began to turn in favor of the Emmerians.

However, weakened Estovakian forces managed to call for reinforcements. Five Airborne Carriers began bombardment of the capital with Nimbus Missiles, destroying most of defending units, except for Garuda Squadron and few other pilots. The further defense was prevented by appearance of Estovakia's top ace squadron - Strigon team, which forced the survivors to fall back and regroup.

Fighting from Khesed Island, Talisman lead the few Emmerian soldiers as they drove Estovakia from the island. After landing on the mainland itself, Talisman played an invaluable role in retaking key locations like San Loma from the Estovakians.

After many large-scale battles, the Estovakian Aerial Fleet, including the Airborne Carrier "Aigaion", appeared. Talisman and the other top Emmerian aces rose up, and struck down the aerial fleet, sending it crashing into the ocean. With a distinct edge in the form of Talisman, the Emmerians took back Ragno fortress easily, without the threat of the Aigaion's Nimbus Missiles.

Talisman's brief, but monumental military career hung in jeopardy after he disobeyed a direct order to flee the battlefront. Suspended with his wingman, it seemed the Hero of Emmeria would never fly again.

However, after destroying WMD's that threatened to destroy Gracemeria, the great ace once again took to the skies. Triumphantly freeing the city once and for all, Talisman defended it from the threat of an Estovakian counterattack the very next day.

It was revealed that Estovakia's Meteor Defense System, the massive railgun "Chandelier", had in fact been completed and used to fire missiles at Gracemeria. Flying north with his comrades, Talisman fought once again with Strigon team. Flying in a series of close spaces at high speed, Talisman destroyed the Chandelier at Sonne Island and finally ended the war.

Afterwards, he continued to serve in the Emmerian Air Force.
