# Ajor — The Land That Time Forgot character guide > Ajor in The Land That Time Forgot by Edgar Rice Burroughs. **Role:** major **Also known as:** Brave little Ajor, Plucky little Ajor, little Ajor **First appearance:** 0011-part-ii-the-people-that-time-forgot ## Snapshot A Galus woman born from her mother's breast rather than an egg, who fled a forced marriage and a traitorous suitor to find the stranger from another world. ## Who they are Ajor is a cos-ata-lo, one of the rare Caspakians born as other races are born, which makes her both prized and hunted among the Galus. Her father Jor is high chief, but the warrior Du-seen wants her and the chieftainship both, and his dealings with the Wieroo have made her a pawn in a coming war. She teaches Bowen the Caspakian oath, the meaning of the seven cycles, and the geography of a world evolving upward through its own strata. ## Relationships ### [Co-tan](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/the_land_that_time_forgot_se/characters/co_tan) _friendship_ Ajor and Co-tan are close friends and fellow native women, supporting each other in their interactions with the outsiders. ### [Thomas Billings](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/the_land_that_time_forgot_se/characters/thomas_billings) _romantic_ Ajor and Thomas Billings develop a romantic relationship, with Ajor being a native woman who becomes attached to Billings. ### [Bradley](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/the_land_that_time_forgot_se/characters/bradley) _friendship_ Ajor and Bradley are allies and friends, with Ajor often aiding Bradley despite her primary bond with Billings. ### [Galu](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/the_land_that_time_forgot_se/characters/galu) _family_ Ajor and Galu are father and daughter, with Galu being a tribal leader protective of Ajor. ### [Ace](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/the_land_that_time_forgot_se/characters/ace) _friendship_ Ace and Ajor have a friendly bond, with the dog accepting Ajor as part of the group. ### [Chal-az](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/the_land_that_time_forgot_se/characters/chal_az) _rivalry_ Ajor and Chal-az are adversaries, with Chal-az being a hostile native who opposes Ajor's tribe and her friends. ### [Thomas Billings](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/the_land_that_time_forgot_se/characters/thomas_billings) _romantic_ Ajor and Thomas Billings develop a romantic relationship, with Ajor being a native woman who becomes attached to Billings. ### [Chal-az](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/the_land_that_time_forgot_se/characters/chal_az) _rivalry_ Ajor and Chal-az are adversaries, with Chal-az being a hostile native who opposes Ajor's tribe and her friends. ### [Co-tan](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/the_land_that_time_forgot_se/characters/co_tan) _friendship_ Ajor and Co-tan are close friends and fellow native women, supporting each other in their interactions with the outsiders. ### [Bradley](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/the_land_that_time_forgot_se/characters/bradley) _friendship_ Ajor and Bradley are allies and friends, with Ajor often aiding Bradley despite her primary bond with Billings. ### [Thomas Billings](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/the_land_that_time_forgot_se/characters/thomas_billings) _romantic_ Ajor and Thomas Billings develop a romantic relationship, with Ajor being a native woman who becomes attached to Billings. ### [Co-tan](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/the_land_that_time_forgot_se/characters/co_tan) _friendship_ Ajor and Co-tan are close friends and fellow native women, supporting each other in their interactions with the outsiders. ## In the story ### [III](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/the_land_that_time_forgot_se/chapters/iii) Brave Galu girl who rescues Billings from the Band-lu cave, explains Caspak's mysteries, and accompanies him through the underground tunnels. ### [The Oath of Allegiance](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/the_land_that_time_forgot_se/chapters/iv) Explains the oath of allegiance to Tyler; initially wary of So-al but later becomes friends; stands ready with a knife during the confrontation with To-mar. ### [V](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/the_land_that_time_forgot_se/chapters/v) Reveals she is a cos-ata-lo (born, not hatched), daughter of Jor the high chief of the Galus, and fled south to escape Du-seen's advances and his pact with the Wieroo. ### [VI](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/the_land_that_time_forgot_se/chapters/vi) Billings' beloved; she is taken by To-mar but escapes the village alone, armed only with a knife. ### [VII](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/the_land_that_time_forgot_se/chapters/vii) Beloved Galu she; captured by Du-seen, escapes, and is rescued by Tyler before being trapped in a swamp. ### [II](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/the_land_that_time_forgot_se/chapters/ii) A Galu girl held captive by the Wieroos; destined to be given to 'He Who Speaks for Luata'; speaks with Bradley about escape. ### [The Blue Place of Seven Skulls](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/the_land_that_time_forgot_se/chapters/iii) The girl Bradley recognizes from the place of the yellow door, threatened by a Wieroo and rescued by Bradley. ### [V](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/the_land_that_time_forgot_se/chapters/v) The girl (Ajor) learns to swim, prepares breakfast, and learns English from Bradley.
