The short snippish man who had been at the tiller of the longboat and then led the guards back to the Pander Ban has come up behind the merchant on the gangplank, scowling fiercely at the crew. He is about five feet tall and skinny, with a mean little face, a long, sharp nose, and dark eyes. There is a small white scar beneath his left eye which stands out as he scowls. He has stringy black hair that falls to his shoulders, and one of his long-fingered hands caresses the sword hilt hanging on his right hip. On his left hip he carries what appears to be a coiled black whip. Every now and then, the man gnashes yellow teeth behind thin, snarling lips. As he advances up the gangplank to stand behind the merchant, Wakil is sickened by the stench of evil which permeates the man and follows him, oozing from his pores like cheap perfume."This is Orpheus, my loyal man." Merchant Bledsum speaks to Captain Turion in a soft conversational tone and his face is genial, but his eyes are hard as flint. "Regardless of how this turns out today, we both know you have something of mine, and I will have it back, one way or another. If you do not give her to me now, you shall give her to Master Orpheus later, and I can promise you, you won't like that."[/SBLOCK]</blockquote>
