Biography
Thorak is the head of Memnon's army, and he is first seen ambushing and holding the Akkadian warrior Mathayus hostage after he kills one of the guards in Cassandra's tent and introduces him to his boss Memnon, who executes his half-brother Jesup in front of him. When Memnon plans on killing Mathayus now, Cassandra warns against it, saying the gods wish him to survive the night until dawn, and Throak knocks Mathayus out until having him buried to his neck in the desert to be devoured by fire ants.

Later, when Mathayus sneaks into Memnon's palace to avenge his half-brother Jesup and saves the urchin street boy from having his hand cut off while trying to shoot Memnon, Thorak and his guards are alerted to his presence, in which they chase him through out the palace to try and kill him, but he barely escapes and abducts Cassandra along the way, aware that Memnon will come after her. He and a group of guards were then sent by Memnon to kill Mathayus and retrieve Cassandra.

Mathayus manages to slay Thorak and all the other guards under the cover of a sandstorm and in a cave. While dying, Thorak manages to stab Mathayus in the leg with a scorpion blood-laced arrow (which Memnon gave to him); Cassandra uses her magic to save Mathayus' life. As an insult, Mathayus sends Thorak's bloodstained pendant to Memnon.
