'''Typhon''' (also known as '''Lord Typhon''') was a merman leader. He was responsible for aiding humans in reaching the Great Continent, including the [[First Crown Prince of Southbay]] and [[Haldric I|Prince Haldric]].

== Biography ==

=== First voyage ===

Typhon, a leader of the mermen, struck a deal with the [[First Crown Prince of Southbay]]. In return for steel trident points and fishhooks, due to the difficulty of metalwork underwater, Typhon provided him pearls and an escort for his voyages. On one of those voyages, Typhon accompanied the prince to the Great Continent in the east.<ref name="final">A Final Spring, The Rise of Wesnoth</ref>

Some time later, Typhon returned to [[Southbay]] to meet the prince, but was informed by his past acquaintance [[Jessene|Lady Jessene]] that the prince was dead. She asked him if he would lend them his services once more, and he agreed to the same terms as on the previous occasion, needing the steel for his own martial purposes. He aided [[Haldric I|Prince Haldric]] in killing the orcish warlords besieging the kingdom, before departing with them eastward.<ref name="final"/>

During the voyage, they laid anchor at the drake-infested island of [[Morogor]]. Typhon and his mermen aided Haldric by pacifying the drakes and slaying their leaders, so that Haldric's men could re-provision their ships in peace before setting sail once more.<ref name="peoples">A Peoples in Decline, The Rise of Wesnoth</ref> The weather became rough, and forced Haldric to make a landing at [[Naga archipelago|an archipelago]] inhabited by nagas. Typhon once again helped Haldric to kill the nagas' leaders so that all Haldric's ships could safely regroup.<ref name="rough">Rough Landing, The Rise of Wesnoth</ref>

Typhon remained with Haldric for the final leg of the journey until they reached the [[Bay of Pearls]]. Upon their arrival, they were confronted by hostile elves and dwarves, but before battle could commence, [[Dionli|Lady Dionli]] intervened and asked Haldric to accompany her to the Ka'lian. Before Haldric left, Typhon told him that he needed to return to his fellow mermen, but that those of the mermen who had already fought for Haldric were willing to remain.{{Note pointer|no=1}} After leaving, he received word that Haldric was sending a no more than a third of the fleet back to the [[Green Isle]] to search for refugees.<ref name="new">A New Land, The Rise of Wesnoth</ref>
