This article is about the human character. You may be looking for Tornac (horse).

Tornac was a servant and skilled swordsman who taught Murtagh the art of swordplay and dueling. He was killed attempting to escape with Murtagh from Urû'baen, apparently taken by a treacherous blow to the back. In honor of his mentor, Murtagh gave the name 'Tornac' to his grey warhorse. It is later learned that Tornac was like a father to Murtagh and is likely the only parental figure Murtagh recognized. He taught him to be an honorable person and cared for him in Urû'baen. It may be due to his influence that Murtagh became a better person than his father or the woman his mother had initially been.

After going into exile following the Battle of Urû'baen, Murtagh traveled for a time under Tornac's name.
