Urprox Screl

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Urprox Screl is a character in the novel First King of Shannara by Terry Brooks. He lived in the deep Southland and was known as the best smith of the race of Men. During the Second War of the Races he was visited by Bremen, Kinson Ravenlock, and Mareth; the three convinced him to use his furnace to forge, with Bremen, the Sword of Shannara.

Afterwards, he went north to the Borderlands and was never heard from again. One man said he met him but he was using the name Creel. It is believed that he is the ancestor of both Panamon Creel, who went into the Skull Kingdom with Shea Ohmsford to kill the Warlock Lord, as well as Padishar Creel, who was the leader of the Free-born during the time of the Shadowen. As Par Ohmsford married Padishar's daughter Damson Rhee, Urprox Screl is also presumably an ancestor of Grianne, Bek, and Pen Ohmsford.
