supporting
Also known as Gobred, Prince Gobred of Nimmr
First appearance: The Great Tourney
As a supporting figure in Tarzan, Lord of the Jungle, Prince Gobred is not background color—the story leans on what they do once the chapter opens.
Prince Gobred interrogates Blake about his origins and the supposed Saracen siege, showing suspicion but also curiosity.
Gobred rules the City of Nimmr and its feud with the Knights of the Sepulcher, a conflict of lances, banners, and fanatical courage that swallows Tarzan the moment he enters the valley. His world is one of ritualized violence and rigid honor, where a stranger's raw jungle tactics both scandalize and astonish. As the battle's fortunes turn, Gobred's city becomes the destination that pulls Blake, Tarzan, and the watching Beduins toward their separate reckonings.
