Kindly
A Malazan captain of the Ashok Regiment with a reputation as the meanest officer in the army, who claims more lazy soldiers killed than enemies, and collects combs despite having almost no hair.
Kindly is a captain of the Malazan army commanding the 2nd Company of the Ashok Regiment, and by reputation the meanest officer in the entire Malazan military. He claims to have killed more lazy soldiers than enemies of the empire, and one fellow officer sums him up as terrifying but competent. His strictness is not always what it looks like: he has been known to order a kit inspection purely to take his soldiers' minds off what they have just seen. His caution runs well past what other soldiers think reasonable. He has very little hair left and a passion for his collection of combs, and his lieutenant, Pores, exasperates him so regularly that he threatens the man with promotion.
