Ald Turmis

Ald Turmis is a friend and fighting comrade of Thongor, both of whom served as mercenaries together in the city of Thurdis. When Thongor killed his own captain Jeled Malkh in self-defense during an argument, it was Ald Turmis who helped Thongor break out of jail and flee the city.

Ald Turmis and Thongor first met in the city of Zangabal where Thongor had been a thief by trade. Thongor had tried to rob the house of the sorcerer Athmar Phong, but he was captured and thrown in his dungeons. There he met Ald Turmis who had also been imprisoned for trying to steal from the wizard. Thongor freed himself along with Ald Turmis, and after a night of horror and adventure they fled the wizard's house as it went up in flames, and the two men became the best of friends.
