Biography
After Shift the ape decided to bring the calormenes in to help him in his overthrowing of Narnia, Rishda Tarkaan was the captain of the Calormenes. At first he helped the ape, but along with Ginger the cat grew tired of the ape doing everything. Between himself and Ginger they devised a plot to make it seem as if "Tashlan" was inside the stable, because the animals were getting tired of not seeing Tashlan. Ginger was to go into the stable, and then come out saying that he had seen Tashlan. Rishda had also positioned a Calormene sentry to kill any talking animals that came into the stable, but he had orders to not harm Ginger. When Ginger went in, and came out terrified and unable to talk, having seen Tash, Rishda's plan began to fall apart. Next a Calormene, Emeth, one of his own men, decided to go into the stable. He went in, there was the sounds of a battle, and a Calormene's body was thrown out. Rishda then told the party of talking animals gathered there that it was Emeth, but the Narnians hiding behind the stable (King Tirian, Jewel, Jill Pole, Eustace Scrubb, Farsight the eagle and Poggin) could see that the Calormene's body was a different person, and not Emeth. When the Narnians jumped out and began to fight the calormenes, Rishda called the reinforcements that he had. The battle was going well, and no dobut Rishda would have eventually won, untill King Tirian who was fighting him, dragged him into the stable along with himself. Rishda was terrified when he saw Tash, who asked him "Thou hast called me into Narnia, Rishda Tarkaan. Here I am. What hast thou to say?"

- Tash

Tash then picked Rishda up and tucked him under two of his arms. He then looked at Tirian but before he could do anything High King Peter ordered him to "Begone, Monster, and take your lawful prey to your own place."

- High King Peter

Instantly Tash disapeared, with Rishda still under his arm. It is unknwown what happened to Rishda after that, but it may be presumed that as Rishda was considered "lawful prey" by Peter that he was eaten by Tash.
