Two Tusks (d. 1267), so-called because of the long leather straps that dangled from the visor of his helmet, resembling tusks, was a knight in the service of the House of Varnhagen, and the right-hand man of the Blue Knight.[1]
Biography[]
Hunt for Ciri and Sweers[]
In July 1267, after receiving news of a bounty for Ciri, and the Sweers family's appearance nearby, the Blue Knight and Two Tusks travelled from Sarda to the moorlands of Geso, on the road between the Korath desert and Glyswen. There, they found Sir Sweers and the Trappers with Ciri, and rode at the group, killing Sweers' squire by spearing him with his spontoon when the Blue and Winged knights affronted each other. Sweers then returned the favour and cut his neck while taking rounds at each other on horseback. Two Tusks then fell from his horse and was trampled.[1]
Trivia[]
- When Andrzej Sapkowski first saw the cover of Time of Contempt drawn by Bogusław Polch he said that "no such character is in the book." Polch replied "so add it" and so Two Tusks came into existence.
