First son of Humbrall Taur and a shaman of the White Face Barghast, Cafal wears his face painted skull-white and his braids knotted with bone fetishes above a coin-threaded hauberk.

Cafal is a hulking warrior of the White Face Barghast, first son of Humbrall Taur and brother to Hetan and Netok, and he serves his people as healer and shaman. White paint smeared across his face gives it the look of a skull, and his shoulder-length hair is braided, stained red with ochre, and knotted with bone fetishes. He has heavy brows and filed teeth, and wears a hauberk and gauntlets threaded with holed copper and silver coins of no mintage anyone recognises. Like his brother and sister he carries a mix of arms: lances, throwing axes, fighting axes, hook-bladed swords, and assorted knives. Gruntle finds him and Netok miserable, taciturn creatures who seem singularly thick.
