Tarqinder

Tarqinder is a character in the series Gielinor. He is a Dragon Slayer as part of the Slayers Union which disbanded due to financial difficulties.

Character History
Tarqinder's past is vague, he has only been seen at the Slayers' Union. He is a powerful warrior and is always seen with a weapon in his hand, usually his large sword. Tarqinder's main priority is to Misthalin, Kandarin and Asgarnia safe from any attack caused by dragon ("He Who Slays Dragons").

Tarqinder was sent into the Wilderness to kill a dragon hidden beneath the ice with another slayer, Ferdinand who was to defend him from any revenants. Ferdinand broke his foot on the journey there and became almost immobile. After the nearby volcano erupted, they teleported to a random location in the Wilderness which was close to the dragon's lair. Ferdinand had an encounter with an ice spider which Tarqinder killed and later used as bait to lure the dragon out. The large red dragon killed Ferdinand who had unwillingly caught its attention by calling out to Tarqinder. Tarqinder decided to leave the dragon to a painful death by drowning it and burning it to death in lava. Tarqinder seemed incredibly angry and distraught by this event ("He Who Slays Dragons").

The Slayers' Union disbanded due to lack of fundings due to the economy crisis as well as funders losing faith after Ferdinand's death. Thanks to this, Tarqinder was out of work and made his way west. He encountered Mark Theobald near Falador who asked to journey with Tarqinder. Tarqinder let him do so, and Mark revealed he was heading towards Ardougne as well. As they cross White Wolf Mountain, Tarqinder slips on the ice and is left dangling over the edge of an icy ledge. Mark refuses to help, saying he is not strong to enough to pull Tarqinder to safety. Mark is further frightened by a wolf which spots him, but it launches itself at Tarqinder which causes both itself and Tarqinder to plummet over the edge. Mark ran to Tarqinder's body and took his sword, money and food claiming that Tarqinder would no longer need it ("Tarqinder's Journey").

Tarqinder awoke hours later in the snow. Upon getting to his feet he noticed he had been robbed, and decides he will find his items and take revenge ("Another Sleepless Night").

Reaching Seers' Village, Tarqinder goes for a drink in the Forester's Arms. After requesting a Wizard's Mind Bomb, the bartender tells him they are low on it due to a depressed person coming in and drinking it. Upon hearing the person came from Falador and was heading to Ardougne as well as carrying a rather large sword, Tarqinder realises it is Mark, and realises Mark is closer than he thinks ("The Cave of Doom").
