A resident of Arabel, Thurbrand is a fighter
born and bred there, who has been a
man of arms since he was old enough to
lift a blade. In his teens he was known as
"Thurbrand of the Stonelands" as he led
band after band of young layabouts into
the wilds. Few returned, each time, as
Thurbrand battled trolls, and orcs, and
kobolds, and bandits, and worse. Once, his
company battled a dark naga, and only
Thurbrand escaped, of a company of 16 
well-armed fighters, and on another
occasion, fought that evil Mage known as
Whisper, from whom Thurbrand and
three companions escaped, having left the
Mage slightly injured and 7 of their
comrades dead. Thurbrand was stubborn,
if aught else, and has ventured into
the Stonelands many times, eventually
amassing quite a fortune, and becoming a
seasoned and experienced warrior.
Thurbrand keeps in training, and even
hires out to guard the occasional CARAVAN,
these days, but he is waiting for the Zhentarim's
power to be broken so that he can
establish his own stronghold in the wastes.
It is said that he knows every valley and
tomb of the Stonelands, including 6 
abandoned subterranean cities and
holds, but Thurbrand knows he cannot
match the Zhentarim's power in the StoneJands
at this time, so he waits.
