With the excuse of his homeland invasion, he made the move to rob, murder and abuse women. Because of this, he was taken captive by a [[Herdazian general]] and given three options to be punished. Death by the sword given to the women who he abused, torture by a hammer or fighting a hog. {{book ref|sa3|i|10}}
 
After being denied the request for ransom (which is given to men captured in battle, not criminals), he chose to fight “the hog” which he believed it to be a pig. He was counting on beating the animal and was thinking of leaving and returning with an army to take them down. The animal was not a pig, but a huge sea animal (enormous claw broke the surface of the ocean) and his survival after the fight is unknown.
