Talus

Talus was a character on. He was a member of one of Xena's first (if not, one of the first) amries. He was the one who captured Julius Caesar, subsequently leading to her first meeting with the Roman.

He was killed by M'Lila, a Gaelic stow-away on Xena's ship. His death was the first insight into to deadly pressure points for Xena, an art she would master (with help from M'Lila) and transform into handy, yet deadly tool.
