Tirgin (pronounced TEAR-gin) is an Ishtaran champion of Sarenrae who has devoted his life to redeeming his former friend Parshatar,
Tirgin witnessed the same event in the desert that turned Parshatar to evil. Their entire adventuring party, save for the two friends, died after venturing deep into the Sangora Desolation, into a part of the desert long ago cursed by devotees of Nurgal. There they watched their companions die from terrible causes - thirsts no water could sate, sunburns that cooked them alive, extremely fast-spreading skin growths, and so on. Tirgin was not affected by this nearly as strongly as Parshatar, who took a hard turn to evil after.
Tirgin had long been Parshatar’s friend prior to the event in the desert. Always a devout follower of Sarenrae, Tirgin became a champion of his god after Parshatar’s turn to evil and since then has attempted to redeem him and show him the healing powers of the sun. Tirgin currently lives an itinerant life in Khapesh and the surrounding Red Lands. He refuses to work with those who seek to harm Parshatar, fully convinced his old friend can still be brought back to the side of good.
