Hawl

An old witch and a mage of Ruse, Hawl once commanded the Talon. She is no beauty, by her own reckoning and everyone else's: wide lumpy features, a thick build, skirts, and a permanently dishevelled look about her. Grinner is her lover. She began as a captain in the service of Sureth of Nap and fled with her into exile in Malaz City, where the two took work at Smiley's and were soon in the employ of Kellanved and Dancer. She sails with Cartheron Crust aboard the Twisted on the raid against Cawn; they arrive late and miss the ambush, but draw the attention of a Napan ship, the Just Cause, and shake it off only when Hawl puts Ruse into their hull and gives it speed.
