Human male, Talbot served as the Federation's diplomatic presence in Paradise City on Nimbus III. In 2287, Sybok captured Talbot, along with his fellow Klingon and Romulan delegates, and took them with him on his crusade to find "God" at Sha'Ka'Ree.

The U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-A was dispatched to rescue Talbot.
