Corl serves as a bridgeman, stationed at the deathpoint position during a bridge assault. Arrows strike him there, and he is killed. His brief appearance gives a human face to the peril borne by the bridge crews.
Description
Corl is identified as a male bridgeman, but no details of his age, height, build, skin, hair, eyes, or facial features are given. His work calls for the practical clothing of a bridge crew, though its precise cut, color, and condition are not described. No scars, accessories, or other distinguishing features are established; keep his appearance grounded and otherwise unspecified.
