Bishop Turpin is a bishop in Roland's world. When Elric went there to find the Horn of Fate, the witch Vivian thought Elric was a demon and threatened to have him banished by Turpin.[1]
Turpin is based on the historical Tilpin, the French bishop of Reims during the 8th century who was also made a fictional character in the French epic poem The Song of Roland.
