Hello guys!
My name is Kleber, and i'm brazilian. I'm sorry by my english, but i'm until studing.
I play RPG since 1995, and I started with GURPS and AD&D. My better char, in all time, was a barbarian warrior called Thorvid. The inspiration from this char was a spellfire card (somebody remember, old times!) of the same name.
Someone know who was Thorvid? Does he a 4th ed. version or AD&D offial sheet?
Tks!

according to this site LINK he can also be found in the AD&D card set II, as card #357. that card should have AD&D 2e stats for him, and the overview on the linked page states he is a 16th level warrior.

Ah Spellfire, brings back some good memories of high school, trying to get Strahd's card.
From what info. I could gather, Thorvid's card did have the Greyhawk label attached to it. However, the Spellfire cards were created using already existing art from the TSR art department. Sometimes the names of the NPCs the art represented was used and other times new names were made up (usually because the art didn't represent anyone in particular). When assigning world labels to the cards they generally were the same as the worlds of the products the art originally came from... but not always. Since I can't seem to find the picture for Thorvid's card anywhere on the net (and the name doesn't ring any bells with me) I'm going to hazard a guess that Thorvid was created for the Spellfire game.
That's all a really long way of saying that I haven't seen 4th ed. stats for Thorvid 
So my post isn't completely useless, based on the card's powers (a bonus against monsters, undead, and flyers), I would make Thorvid a Defender, probably a Paladin (but since I've never seen the art I could be way off base here).

That looks like the art from B11, which is set in the Grand Duchy of Karameikos of the Known World.

he certainly does exists as a 2e AD&D collectors card, which would have given him 2e stats.... he does not have a previous greyhawk providence though (as far as i can tell) and was likely made up for either the spellfire game or for the AD&D collectors cards.

Strange, I went through my 92 factory set and couldn't find him in the Greyhawk cards. hmm.. Maybe i lost the card or it's hidden in the 91 box.
Yes, according to the incredibly useful TSR Cards list excel file available from the FoS he's in the '91 cards. I'll have to search through them, which will take a while, as i think i don't have them ordered by setting.

Tyrinon is also in the '91 TSR cards: #224 Greyhawk Tyrinon human paladin 16
The image used is from the cover of the Greyhawk Adventures hardcover.
