An unnamed Herdazian general is in command of a group of soldiers and refugees at the Alethi-Herdazian border after the initial singer occupation of Alethkar. He is an escape artist who is fond of testing his skills against the best manacles that his officers can find.
Appearance and Personality
The general is a middle-aged, darkeyed Herdazian man. He has brown skin and a touch of grey in his thin mustache. He is described (albeit in unflattering terms and by an adversary) as having a too-wide smile, a flat nose, and a missing tooth.
He is easygoing with his soldiers and officers, and enjoys escaping from locked manacles.
History
At some point in his life, the general was chained at a beach somewhere near the Alethi-Herdazian border where an enormous greatshell nicknamed "the hog" resides. He was able to unshackle himself in under a minute and escape being eaten by the creature. It is unclear whether he was there by choice to test his escaping skills or whether he was a prisoner condemned to be fed to the hog.
Some time after the singer occupation of Alethkar began, the general gained command over a group of soldiers and refugees at that same area of the border.
At one point, the soldiers in the general's company catch Sheler, an Alethi soldier, harassing and stealing from the local populace. As punishment, the general gives Sheler three options: death by the sword (doled out by the women he harassed), having his knees smashed with a hammer and left for the highstorm, or wrestling "the hog."[1]
