- Very old Headman of the Tormakting family
- Politically shrewd (Eye of the Hurricane)
- Rich
Lhankpentos the the headman of the Tormakting family. He is elderly with failing sight though in his youth he was a red-handed raider who fought many battles with the Emerald Sword clan of the Dinacoli and Split Waters clan of the Maboder.
He leads worship of Orlanth more openly than any other god-talker exclaiming that he is an “old man now” and “how will they punish me apart from hastening an old blind fool’s death?”
Despite his white beard and toothless grin, he is a canny leader whose guile and cunning outwits his rivals. Lhankpentos’ political shrewdness got Broddi Strong-Kin elected. If Lhankpentos dies, the wisdom behind Broddi’s leadership dies.
Lhankpentos lives with his sons Gringle Shield-Wall and Arlest the Unmatched on the wealthy Tormakt's Farm. They have a fine collection of horses, and Lhankpentos is one of the best horse-fighting trainers in the clan.
