The captain is introduced as a veteran soldier who has spent thirteen years stationed in Itko Kan. His ill-fitting helmet has chafed his forehead raw, and the heat leaves him sweating beneath a woollen cap. The book provides this sharp glimpse of an experienced serviceman but does not develop a larger personal arc for him.
Description
The captain is a man whose most distinct visible feature is a raw, chafed forehead beneath his loose mail helm. The helm has a lobster-tail extension, and a hot woollen cap beneath it leaves him sweating in the heat. The text identifies him as a veteran soldier but does not specify his build, coloring, hair, eyes, or other facial features. His battered, uncomfortable equipment gives him a distinctly seasoned military presence.
