The Thiefmaker

The unlikely ruler of Shades’ Hill and the orphans that dwell within. He makes a trade from buying children whose parents are victims of plague epidemics and fires, taking them to the Hill and teaching them the art of thievery. He came to the Hill many years before and was initially under the mercy of the resident children, but as time went on and he grudgingly taught them the tricks of his trade, so his authority grew and he created his underworld lair dedicated to producing thieves he would later sell on to Camorr’s gangs. He is wily and brusque, with crooked fingers where they had once been broken and healed unevenly. He is callous, but charismatic and likeable nonetheless.
