Tankred Thyssen

Tankred Thyssen was the only son of Esterad Thyssen and Zuleyka of Talgar, Lord of Kovir, Poviss, Velhad, Narok and Talgar and a would-be suitor for Cirilla of Cintra.

As a youth, he fell in with bad company, most notably the baron Surcratasse, Mrs. de Lisemore and Redanian ambassadors in the kingdom Kovir and Poviss. Probably thanks to the intervention promised by the sorceress Sheala de Tancarville, he straightened out and resumed his studies.

He had two sisters: Gaudemunda and Heloiza.
