Thinistor Udd

Evil sorcerer, a descendant of Soomus and a cousin of Nyrass. He was a wizard-priest who served Yibb-Tstll and took his residence in a template in the source of the Tross in the Great Bleak Mountains. With the help of the nightgaunts and Ebraim Borak, he kidnapped people and used them as vital energy donors to regain his youth, turning them into mere bags of bones, which he then fed to his pet snow leopards. 
Thinistor Udd is an antagonist in Brian Lumley's "Hero of Dreams".
== Biography ==
=== Early years and relationships with Imniss family ===
Thinistor Udd was born in Nir, and his father was a sorcerer who vanished forever during "some strange necromantic experiment". Ten years passed and his widow took a second husband, Irik Imniss; and in her last possible years Mathur Imniss was born. She died giving him life, and some nineteen years later, Irik followed her.
When Mathur was in his 30s he met and married a young woman. Thinistor remained single. He owned half of the house, Mathur owned the other half, living there with his new wife. Thinistor had inherited his father's appetite for sorcery, his books and apparatus.
There had never been any love between the half-brothers. Mathur had worked and prospered while Thinistor studied the dark arts and frittered away his half of their father's inheritance. Mathur had never liked Thinistor's experiments, but he was used to the other's strange ways and they had not greatly bothered him. But Thinistor began paying unwanted attentions to Mathur's wife, and the younger brother threw him out of the house. Thinistor went, taking his books and devices with him.
Fifteen years later Thinistor came back. He had been passing through Nir and had heard of Mathur's wife's sickness, with which no ordinary physician could cope. For six long months she had suffered and declined, until Mathur was at his wits' end what to do about it. Thinistor offered his services, and soon the woman returned to her previous strength and beauty.
=== Magic of the First Ones ===
In Great Bleak Mountains, Thinistor discovered a way into the Keep of the First Ones. He brought out of there secrets the First Ones knew, and using this knowledge he created an avatar of Yibb-Tstll in the shape of a stone idol which walked at his command. He intended to be the greatest sorcerer in all the Dreamlands.
Thinistor was known to be one of the few who were able to control the Wands of Power.
=== Death ===
Thinistor was defeated by Aminza Anz in the Temple of Yibb-Tstll.
