Tarnum had two sisters which were taken away from his family by Bracaduun, as they forbade Barbarian families from having more than one child. When Tarnum discovered another nation of Barbarians who refused to join his war against the Wizards, he ordered the extermination of these "traitors", unaware that his sisters had been sent there and were among his newest enemies. One of them was killed by his own troops, but the other was rescued just in time by [[Rion Gryphonheart]], the founder of [[Erathia]], and the man who defeated Tarnum in single combat. He would later marry her, and they would have [[Allison]] as their only child. Tarnum did not discover before his death and resurrection as an Immortal Hero that he was slain by his brother-in-law.

== Story ==
=== [[Warlords of the Wasteland]] ===
Before Tarnum became the Immortal Hero, he was a [[Barbarian]] who threw off the shackles of his [[Wizard]] masters and returned his people to their former greatness. His actions as a barbarian tyrant caused the [[Ancestors]] to bar him entry to [[Paradise]] upon his death. They sent him back to [[Enroth]] as the immortal hero to atone for his crimes.
=== [[Conquest of the Underworld]] ===
The [[Ancestors]] send Tarnum to help his niece, Queen [[Allison]], rescue the soul of her father, [[Rion Gryphonheart]], from the depths of the Underworld.
=== [[Masters of the Elements]] ===
Tarnum must face down his own prejudice against magic and become a [[Wizard]] if he has any chance of saving the world from the destructive [[Elemental Lords]].
=== [[The World Tree]] ===
Tarnum is drawn to a distant region to save the [[World Tree]] from the [[Necromancers]]. He ends up facing the insane [[Ancestors|Ancestor]], [[Vorr]], who has kidnapped the other Ancestors and plans to destory the world.
=== [[The Fiery Moon]] ===
Tarnum pursues [[Vorr]] to the fiery moon. He frees the other ancestors and uses the sap of the [[World Tree]] to cure Vorr of his madness.
=== [[Revolt of the Beastmasters]] ===
To atone for dragging the Mudlanders into slavery as the Barbarian Tyrant, Tarnum was tasked with freeing them from the oppression of the [[Erathia]]ns. Through his efforts, the kingdom of [[Tatalia]] was created.
=== [[Clash of the Dragons]] ===
When the good [[dragons]] disappear, Tarnum is drawn into an epic battle with [[Mutare]], the Dragon Queen.
=== [[The Sword of Frost]] ===
The Elven Hero, [[Gelu]], sets out to find the arcane Sword of Frost despite an apocalyptic prophecy. Now, the fate of the world depends on Tarnum's ability to rekindle his darkest talents and lead the devious creatures of [[Nighon]] against his former friend. Tarnum fails in this quest as the Sword of Frost is stolen by [[Kija]] and given to her husband [[Kilgor]], thus setting Gelu and Kilgor on a collision course that would end with [[The Reckoning]].
