Toru (Thaumaturg)

Toru was a soldier of the Thaumaturg Army of Righteous Chastisement which was invading the Jungle of Himatan of eastern Jacuruku under the overall command of Master Thaumaturg Golan.Blood and Bone, Chapter 1, US HC p.53-54Blood and Bone, Chapter 7, US HC p.271
==In Blood and Bone==
Informed that one of the Army's Yakshaka was missing, Golan tasked Cohort Leader Pon-lor with finding and retrieving the missing "stone soldier". Pon-lor was told to take with him a detachment of twenty soldiers - including Toru - as guards.Blood and Bone, Chapter 1, US HC p.56-57
After a series of catastrophic events,Blood and Bone, Chapter 5, US HC p.195/201-203/206-210Blood and Bone, Chapter 7, US HC p.270-271 Toru was Pon-lor's only surviving guard. However, the two made their way through the Himatan Jungle, still determined to find and return with the missing Yakshaka. Toru, although unfamiliar with Himatan, did have some skill at tracking. Thus, when Toru found an animal trail heading eastward - the direction in which Pon-lor wished to go - and, on which Toru thought it would be safe to travel, the two proceeded along it, Toru in the lead. Unfortunately, Toru fell into a well-camouflaged pit, filled with upright sharpened stakes which fatally impaled him. Before dying, Toru tried to warn Pon-lor - who was attempting to help him - that danger was sneaking up behind the Thaumaturg mage. Toru, however, was unable to deliver the warning in time and Pon-lor was knocked unconscious by a blow to his head.Blood and Bone, Chapter 7, US HC p.271-273/275-276
