Haut
A Jaghut scholar of the Jaghut Odhan, tusked and slit-eyed, living alone in his tower keep with the Tiste hostage Korya Delath and addressed as captain by people who know better.
Haut is a Jaghut of the Jaghut Odhan, a scholar living alone in his tower keep with no company but the Tiste hostage Korya Delath. Massive discoloured tusks flank a verdigris-coloured face; his hair is dark and grey-streaked and greasy, his fingers long, his eyes slit vertically. People address him as captain, which is not a rank he has ever held. The Jaghut in general, and Haut in particular, hold armies and war in contempt; the word is an honorific, earned by the mark he has left on those who know him. He speaks of Korya's education, and of preparing her to be a Mahybe, a vessel that waits.
