― Torba to Grizzly
Torba (Торба) is a character in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat.
Background[]
Torba is friends with two other stalkers, Grizzly and Mitay. The group came into conflict with Shishak's Bandits, who demanded that the stalkers give them a cut of the artifacts they find. Torba and the others refused, which prompted the Bandits to kidnap Mitay and hold him hostage for ransom in return.
Appearances[]
Call of Pripyat[]
Torba appears in Yanov station, near the left-most quarter of the station's bar, along with Grizzly. He and Grizzly are arguing what they should do about Mitay's predicament, which the player can overhear when going near the two's table. Grizzly keeps insisting that they should sell the artifact they found and use the money to hire stalkers to take Mitay by force while Torba keeps insisting that it's hopeless to fight the bandits and should just pay the ransom.
Torba does not trust the player and will not talk to him until Mitay is freed.

Trivia[]
- "Torba" means "bag" in Russian, Ukrainian, Polish, Serbian, Croatian and Turkish; this is why Mitay once refers to him as "Bag".
