Tarlus

Tarlus was a solider. He fought alongside Iolaus for King Pelus at the Battle of Peltros. When King Pelus was under attack, Tarlus left Iolaus' back to save the king. Pelus was so embarrassed that he swore Tarlus to secrecy about the incident. Though he felt badly about leaving Iolaus, he could not reveal the reason for many years.

Later, Tarlus fell in love with Ramina, a woman that Pelus' son, Bereaus, was also attracted to. As prince of Zebron, Bereaus ordered Ramina to marry him so to prevent the wedding, Tarlus staged a kidnapping. Bereaus asked Hercules and Iolaus to help him retrieve Ramina but once the heroes realized that she was in love with Tarlus they stopped the wedding between Ramina and Bereaus.

Tarlus was kind to both men and beasts. He forged a special relationship with the Primords who lived near Zebron. They helped him to retrieve Ramina from Bereaus.
