Holwin  

Talon Southpaw (to finish the debate) was subject to strange experiments at the hands of the Sarnaks, as a result he had 3 arms. When he died, only Master Glox was allowed to attend to his body. He removed the three Fists of Talon and placed them in three canopic jars. Over the centuries, Talon's fists were stolen and lost. There is an Iksar shackle quest which requires you to retrieve his three lost fists (A Left Fist, another Left Fist, and a Right Fist) and return them to the Court of Pain. The book was written by a Historian, and just as in real life, Historians can be incorrect or off on thier interpritations. Basically, when Talon escaped from the Sarnaks he was changed, and was much faster than he was before, and the rumor was that he had was this fast because he had "a third fist". Well, the rumor happened to be true. All of this information is from completing the Shackle quest, the tomes on the Historian in the Court of Pain, and from speaking with the different NPC's mentioned in the quest text.

My guild has recently killed Holwin. It was an intense fight of 60 people fighting him and it took about 8 minutes to bring him down and almost half of us died. Guess what, once we killed him, no corpse, no xp, no loot. Complete waste of time.

If in our uber-weapon quest, we had to find Tallon Southpaw, the great Iksar monk? Since these quests involve the great human monks, Ton Po and Master Wu, the Enlightened. =)
