Malop

  • Supporting
  • First seen · Book 1 · Ch. 21

Malop has the solid, unvarnished presence of a man shaped by hard work: thick hair, a bushy black beard, and glyphs inked across both hands. He seems at once ordinary and marked, a familiar face among men living under constant strain.

Malop is a bridgeman, first glimpsed among the men falling into line and later distinguished by his thick hair, bushy black beard, and glyphward tattoos on both hands. He asks about Jezrien, a small glimpse of the beliefs and questions he carries. Malop dies after an axe wound severs his arm and splinters the bone, bleeding out among the dead.

Description

Malop is a thick-haired man with a bushy black beard, his appearance rugged and work-worn. Glyphward tattoos mark each of his hands, making them his most distinctive feature. His clothing is that of a bridgeman: plain, practical garments suited to labor. The text does not specify his height, build, complexion, or eye color.
