Pike starts as a brutal teenage thug in Tarbean's Dockside, twice Kvothe's size with dark hair and savage eyes, ambushing the young urchin and stabbing him with broken glass, leaving him with a black eye and broken ribs. Kvothe fights back fiercely, scratching Pike's face from ear to chin and biting his shoulder deep enough to draw blood. Later, limping from a phosphorus burn and their prior clash, Pike's nest of broken crates reveals his pathetic hoard of treasures amid his cruelty.
Description
A hulking teenage boy of 16-18, towering and broad like twice the size of a normal child, with dark tangled hair framing a dirt-smudged face that sports a crude beard of grime. Savage eyes glare from beneath heavy brows, a bloody scratch raking from ear to chin, while he clutches a bitten shoulder oozing red. Ragged street clothes hang torn and filthy on his powerful frame, his limping stance radiating menace.
