Horg
Horg was a member of the Tribe of Gum.
Biography
Horg was the father of Hur. As her father, he could "give her" to whomever he wished her to be with. Whilst Za spent all of his time attempting and failing to make fire, Kal supplied the tribe with meat, prompting Horg and the rest of the old men to consider having Kal as their leader instead. In this instance, he planned to give Hur to Kal.
Horg led the tribe in an uprising after Za took too long to secure the secret of firemaking from the First Doctor, Susan Foreman, Ian Chesterton and Barbara Wright, although Hur attempted to prevent it. However, Horg backed down and acknowledged Za as his leader after he emerged from the Cave of Skulls with a flaming torch.
Horg was later among the tribe members who pursued the four strangers after their escape. He saw them enter the TARDIS, which vanished before their eyes. (TV: An Unearthly Child)
Shortly after, the tribe met the Prometheans, whose gift of "burning stone" led to them becoming effectively immortal. Horg died with the rest of the tribe in 2013 after turning against the Prometheans. (COMIC: Hunters of the Burning Stone)
