Murk is all spare, spindly lines among the bridgemen, a slight figure in a life that leaves little room for safety. There is a vulnerable, watchful quality to his place in the crew, as if the next danger is always close at hand.

Murk is a spindly Alethi bridgeman assigned to the deathpoint position during a bridge assault. He is struck by four or five arrows and killed; the text gives no further history or relationships.
Description
Murk is a spindly male Alethi bridgeman, with a lean, narrow build suited to the hard labor of a bridge crew. The text gives no description of his skin tone, hair, eyes, facial features, or age. His clothing is not specified beyond his role as a bridgeman, so it should remain practical and unadorned rather than distinctive. He has a slight, exposed presence among the crew.
