Tumak was the director of the main battle claw repository at St. Aegolius Academy for Orphaned Owls. He was an elderly owl of an unknown species, and his eventual fate is unknown, but it is likely that he either died of old age or when the Pure Ones took over the Canyonlands, unless he was enlisted into Kludd's forces, if which so he presumably perished in the Battle of the Burning.
History[]
The Capture[]
Tumak is briefly mentioned by Grimble when he devises a plan to get Jatt away from his guard post in front of the library. He tells Jatt that Tumak and Jutt are about to fight over the position of battle claw director, which was a position the two Short-eared cousins had both wanted, as it would give the winner the third most powerful owl in St. Aggie's, after Skench and Spoorn. Jatt runs off to gather his followers and participate in the fight, giving Soren and Gylfie the chance to escape through the library's sky exit.
