Talos was born to Vostro and Leera Dakora on 236401.29. The son of a Betazoid political attaché and an architect, Talos Dakora enjoyed a normal upper-middle-class Betazoid childhood with his younger brother Hanek. From an early age he possessed an intelligent and inquisitive nature; a desire to know not only what and how things happened, but why as well. This became a problem as his Betazoid telepathy developed, as Talos was often scolded for 'listening' in on the thoughts and emotions of others without their permission. Growing up Talos was very close to his mother, owing largely to the fact that Vostro was often off-world on various diplomatic expeditions for long periods of time. In 2373, Vostro and Leera unofficially separated (an uncommon thing in Betazoid culture.). The reasons behind the split were not openly discussed, but shortly after, when Talos was introduced to his half-Terran sister Adara Bentley who was already a few years old, he was able to put two and two together.

   

This was a pivotal moment for Talos. One that, in many ways, influenced the man that he would become. Eventually, Betazed was liberated and the orphaned Talos and Hanek went to live with their maternal grandmother until the war ended and they could be reunited with their father. Talos never forgot the feeling of utter helplessness as he watched his mother taken from him and vowed to do everything in his power to never feel that way again. As soon as he came of age, Talos enlisted in the Starfleet Marine Corps, hoping that he could do his part to ensure that atrocities like his never happened to anyone else.

After his enlistment in the Starfleet Marine Corps, Talos rose through the ranks at a slow, but steady pace. His innate tactical sense and a strong desire to constantly learn and improve himself separated Talos from the rank-and-file.
