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.

Famous quotes containing the words role in and/or role:
“Friends serve central functions for children that parents do not, and they play a critical role in shaping children’s social skills and their sense of identity. . . . The difference between a child with close friendships and a child who wants to make friends but is unable to can be the difference between a child who is happy and a child who is distressed in one large area of life.”
—Zick Rubin (20th century)
“Always and everywhere children take an active role in the construction and acquisition of learning and understanding. To learn is a satisfying experience, but also, as the psychologist Nelson Goodman tells us, to understand is to experience desire, drama, and conquest.”
—Carolyn Edwards (20th century)
