Tarkhan lives in the province of Kastollia, Helmia. He is the current Lord of Val Deur.
== Backstory ==
Tarkhan was born in an area north of Rathnir. Tarkhan comes from a nomadic tribe. This tribe is known as Gerliinovog, which means 'tribe of the light'. When he was 18 his tribe was brutally killed by a neighbouring tribe and he started to wander until he met the people of Kastollia. He then decided to settle in Ville, where he still has a second residence. Because he was so eager to help Kastollia, he was entrusted with the fortress of Val Deur, where he now lives. Later he discovered that Pete Leeuwenmoed is his great great grandfather, so he decided to take the surname Leeuwenmoed.
=== Religion ===
Tarkhan has a unique religion. His religion is Gerliinism, this is the faith that his tribe had.
Gerliinists believe that Gerliinkhan used to always give light to people, but after a while people didn't respect Gerliinkhan anymore, then he decided not to give light to people anymore and they had to live in the dark for a while. The night is a dangerous period according to the Gerliinists, because then all kinds of inexplicable things happen. After this dark period, people began to see again the importance of honoring Gerliinkhan and they struck a deal with him. He will provide light for 1 part of the day and the other part of the day the people will provide light while he keeps an eye on things. If the people make enough light then he will give them light again, otherwise he will ensure that there is another period of darkness.
=== Surname ===
One of Tarkhan's surname is Gerliinkhuu, that is a composition of Gerliin (light) and khuu (son), so it means son of the light. In Tarkhan's tribe it is not customary to have a surname, because usually you are distinguished on what you have done for the tribe. Tarkhan invented the name Gerliinkhuu during his travels through Eldham and Rathnir in order to be seen as a civilized man. The house he is a part of is the House of Gerliin. A man is given the surname Gerliinkhuu, a woman is given the surname Gerliinokhin, this house isn't noble.
Because Pete Leeuwenmoed is his great great grandfather in direct male-decendent he is a true Leeuwenmoed, which makes him a noble
