Origin[]

Talmar the Fang, also known as Talmar of the Tusks, was a warlord in northern plains of the Lost Continent, a landmass in uncharted waters. He was a tusked man who commanded a tribe of so-called headless horsemen (actually normal horsemen whose armor concealed their heads when riding.)

Talmar was an enemy of Kazanda and a rival of Sylf, the Subtle. When Sylf planned to carry out a blood sacrifice, Talmar abducted Aileen, the intended victim of the sacrifice, from Sylf's dungeons and planned to hold her hostage in exchange for half Sylf's kingdom. When Aileen escaped, Sylf strangled Talmar and left him for dead.

Powers and Abilities[]

In addition to being an excellent horseman, Talmar seemed to be capable of some form of telepathy enabling him to communicate with Sylf at a distance.
