Therkla was a half-orc ninja who fell in love with Elan. Therkla was employed by Daimyo Kubota as an assassin. When she first appeared, her target was Lord Hinjo. At this time, Elan had appointed himself Hinjo's bodyguard. Therkla developed a crush on Elan and several times failed to kill Hinjo due to her not wanting to hurt Elan. She saved him from Qarr, and even helped him flank a sea-troll that was on her own team. Therkla is the only half-orc or orc character in the comic who speaks with proper grammar and capitalization.
