Role in Record of Lodoss War
In Record of Lodoss War, Ghim plays a major role all the way up until the end of episode 8, in which he dies removing Karla's circlet from Leylia.
His purpose from the beginning of the series is to save his Leylia, who he thinks of much like a daughter from whatever dark forces may have abducted her.
During the goblin raid on Parn's village, Ghim and Slayn are instrumental in routing the goblins, saving the lives of several people, Ghim with his special axe and Slayn with his sorcery. Ghim is present during the fight between Parn and the goblin chieftain, and when it is remarked that Parn is undisciplined but has potential, Ghim grunts in agreement.
From episode 3 onward, Ghim becomes a sort of mentor for Parn, teaching him how to hold his weapon, as well as how to wield it. He teaches Parn what he is able to, but ultimately allows King Kashue to take on the role of his teacher, when Parn's studies would need to be furthered by someone who actually uses a sword.
Throughout the series, Ghim's quest becomes increasingly desperate, as he comes across Leylia herself, when she is possessed by Karla the Grey Witch. He then vows not too long later, that he is going to go and retrieve Leylia, which will put him face-to-face with both Leylia and Karla.

“A famous theatrical actress
Played best in the role of malefactress.
Yet her home-life was pure
Except, to be sure,
A scandal or two just for practice.”
