Thurbal

Thurbal was a male human commander of the Twisted Tower's guards in Shadowdale before and during the Time of Troubles of 1358 DR.

History
Thurbal in his role of leader of the guards of the Twisted Tower briefly met the young Shandril Shessair, the bearer of the spellfire, when she stayed in Shadowdale for a time.

Later, during the Time of Troubles, Lord Mourngrym Amcathra, fearing the threat of the god Bane in Zhentil Keep, ordered Thurbal to go and spy on the evil city. Thurbal discovered that Bane wanted to invade Shadowdale, but he was greatly injured in his escape from Zhentil Keep. He was trapped in a recuperative sleep throughout the Battle of Shadowdale.

After the battle, he awoke cured. Thurbal was chosen by his lord to be the defendant of Adon and Midnight in a trial over the presumed death of Elminster Aumar. Thurbal was convinced of the innocence of Midnight and Adon, but the mob believed his judgement be twisted from his time in Zhentil Keep. In the end, Midnight and Adon were condemned to death.
