Scythian Warrior

The Scythian Warrior is a minor, yet pivotal, antagonist in The Golden Crown and Tower of Thunder, the seventh and ninth books in Chris Heimerdinger's Tennis Shoes Adventure Series.

The Golden Crown
The Scythian warrior is present at Epigonus' villa when Harry Hawkins is being held there. Harry is awaiting his fate the following sunrise when a band of Nephite warriors led by Gidgiddonihah come to rescue him. They manage to bust him out of his cell, but the Scythian warrior comes and intercepts them. The Scythian fires an arrow and hits Gidgiddonihah. Gidgiddonihah manages to kill the Scythian, but he soon dies from his wound.

Tower of Thunder.
During his adventure in ancient Shinar, Harry Hawkins frequently looks into his seerstone and repeatedly sees the face of the Scythian who killed Gidgiddonihah. After Harry's sister Steffanie is captured by Nimrod, Harry consults the seerstone once again. He sees the Scythian's face once again, and realizes that he must go back to the day of Gidgiddonihah's death and prevent the Scythian from killing him.

Harry does indeed go back in time to the day he saw his friend die. He, with the help of Micah, manages to stall the Scythian and prevent Gidgiddonihah from getting shot. As a result, the Scythian is killed, but Gidgiddonihah survives.
