Tup

Tup was a Nog. He features in the Portal of Returning. 
Career
Tup was the captain of a noggish slave galley that picked up Shiv. Shiv provides Tup with a plan for destroying the port of Usak using fire ships. Tup then ties Shiv and Carab to the mast of the main fire ship.
Shiv spots Tup later in his adventures in the court of King Real of Lysander. Tup was actings as 'some kind of ambassador'.
Later, Shiv shoots King Real with his revolver, then shoots Tup:
I heard a commotion behind me, and saw Tup crashing across the floor towards me like a steam train. I shot him, which didn’t seem to do much, so I shot him again, and by the time he got to me, he was on his knees, which put me at about eye level with him.
‘Do I recognise you?’ he gasped.
‘Yes.’ I said, and stepped away from him as he fell to the floor.''
Tup survived though, as Shiv recalls:
Tup was still alive and in a strong position. I imagined he was still likely to be baring me a grudge, after all I had shot him twice. I tried to put aside the idea that this whole war was just a way of them getting their hands on me. From about then on, I stopped getting much sleep.
Tup becomes know as Narf (Crippled one) as a result of being shot.
Tup becomes a national hero and head of the clans.
Tup, and his co-ruler Zort nearly catch Shiv as the portal opens to return him to his own world.
Shiv sees him:
Tup had a streak of white in his hair, and one of his arms was obviously useless. He didn’t look like he’d had a good day recently either.
Shiv and his friends escape after the Battle of Pechenga and that is the last anything is seen of Tup.
Other quotes from the Portal of Returning:
There was the captain, Tup, the largest out of all of them, and of a more noble air. He never dirtied his paws with beating slaves. He left that to Ack, the chief slave wrangler, who would never be far away, to punish crimes real and imagined, and to throw overboard those that were sick, or not pulling their weight.
Tup, was standing at one of the windows, dressed in a formal blue officers coat and black boots and britches. He wore a starched white collar, and the hairy pelt of his neck tufted out of it at odd angles and his white fangs shone from the dark shadow of his bestial face. He reminded me slightly of those novelty paintings that you get of dogs dressed as humans engaged in games of billiards or cards.
