The Treasurer's Second Bodyguard appears only in Deadhouse Gates as a nameless, hulking tribesman whose brief service to the Treasurer is defined by debilitating seasickness and ends in sudden death. His sole narrative function is to illustrate the Treasurer's precarious position and the lethal efficiency of the antagonists he encounters. Though he never reappears, his swift demise underscores the series' theme that even the most physically imposing bodyguards are expendable in the brutal politics of the Malazan world.
Description · as of Book 2
