Pritchard was an exiled member of the Araluen Ranger Corps and the mentor of both Crowley and Halt. The name of his horse is Tillby.
History
He trained Crowley for the customary five years before he was banished from Araluen by the corrupt lords. He fled to Hibernia, where he met Halt near Dun Kilty.
Pritchard trained him to be a Ranger; providing him with equipment nearly identical to that of an Araluen Ranger's. Halt received a green cloak, and a high quality saxe knife and throwing knife, which were sheathed close together at his left side, although not in a double scabbard. He also provided Halt with a longbow, a fletching jig, arrows, and a quiver.
He is briefly mentioned in The Hibernian.
He was one of the first in-corrupt Rangers along with Crowley. He was the first ranger banished, as Halt was banished afterwards in the third book.
He later came back after being banished from Araluen by Morgarath, upon hearing from Berrigan that Halt and Crowley were gathering Rangers to stop Morgarath from ruling Araluen. He helps the two and infiltrates castle Gorlan for them. He sneaks a note to King Oswald telling him that Duncan is safe and for him to hold on, and helps them rescue King Oswald from Morgarath. He meets his end by an ambush of 3 or 4 men with swords near the end of The Tournament at Gorlan.
Pritchard dies as Morgarath escapes from his castle at the end of The Tournament At Gorlan with his followers. His cause of death is that he is mauled to death by Morgarath's men.
