Terkoz
Son of Tublat, the wife of Kala, who adopted Tarzan. When Tarzan wants to leave the tribe, he does not want Terkoz to become its leader, so he battles Terkoz until he convinces Terkoz to surrender. When Tarzan leaves the tribe, Terkoz takes over as leader, but the tribe splinters under his leadership, and, following old advice from Tarzan, five apes combine forces against him to get him to leave the tribe.
Terkoz then kidnaps Jane Porter, whom Tarzan loves, although Jane has yet to meet him at this point. Recovering her, and realizing Terkoz's intent, Tarzan plunges his father's knife in Terkoz's heart until Terkoz dies.
