Ulef has the lanky awkwardness of a boy still growing into himself, and a sweetness that survives even in the rough company of thieves. A faint trace of ale and his eager, trusting manner make him feel disarmingly young.

Ulef begins as a gangly, naive young member of the crew, kind in his own fashion and excited by the promise of a new job. His youth and trusting nature make him an especially vulnerable presence among the thieves. He is later killed by an Inquisitor, his rib cage torn apart, leaving the crew—and the reader—with a brutal reminder of the danger surrounding them.
Description
Ulef is a young, gangly man with the loose-limbed, slightly awkward build of someone not yet grown into his frame. His face is described as twisted with pain, though no details of its features, complexion, hair, or eyes are given. He wears simple clothing suited to a thief, and when alive carries a faint smell of ale. No other distinctive visual features are specified.
