Turralde was a general and leader of the Hynerian Navy. When Rygel was contacted by his ex-wife Mmyna, she made the claim that Turralde was one of three generals still loyal to their previous monarch and had assembled an army to help overthrow Rygel's cousin, Dominar Bishan. This turned out to be a deception, however, as Turralde joined his fellow Hynerians in betraying Rygel and capturing him along with this companions Chiana and Ka Jothee. In spite of this showing of loyalty, Turralde was imprisoned by Bishan and handed over to the Peacekeepers for being a threat to his power.
