Tormod is a playable unit in Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance. He was an impetuous youth and angered quickly, especially when it came to taking care of the laguz. At the same time he sought ways to improve his magical prowess.
Background
As an infant, Tormod was orphaned, but he was found and taken in by the laguz Muarim, who raised him as his own child. When he was only a child, he became the leader of the laguz liberation force based in the Grann Desert of Begnion. Together he and Muarim dreamed of a world in which beorcs and laguz lived together peacefully, but those efforts were hampered by Begnion nobles who still kept laguz slaves against the law.Tormod learned magic from an old man in the desert, whom bore a mark signifying he was either a Spirit Charmer or one of The Branded (the second being likely due to the colony of Branded located in the desert).
In "Chapter 15: The Feral Frontier" of Path of Radiance, Ike and the Greil Mercenaries defeated Muarim in battle under the orders of Begnion's apostle Sanaki, whom had claimed Muarim was leading a group of bandits. After the battle, Tormod revealed himself in order to protect Muarim and told Ike the truth about their laguz liberation force. Afterwards, Ike decided to have Muarim and Tormod speak before the apostle about the slavery problem. They found Sanaki knew more than they expected to her to, and wanted the mercenaries to act on her behalf in order to protect the Begnion government's image. Tormod and Muarim joined up with Ike's group in the coming battles to shut down the laguz slaveholders.
Afterwards, they remained in Ike's group in the battles to reclaim Crimea as part of the Crimea Liberation Army, simply because they wanted to help Ike. He also received instruction in magic from Calill. When the war ended, Tormod and Muarim returned to the Grann Desert in order to meet with their friends there and begin telling stories about the adventure.
