"'his blunt, bearded face...large hands'" - (DG, UK MMPB, p.310)
"'A dark, armoured figure...two flanking longswords, one of them strangely bent.'" - (MoI, UK MMPB, p.898)
"'Baudin, red-scarred where one ear used to be, the hair growing tangled and bestial from the puckered skin...'" - (DG, UK MMPB, p.271)
"Baudin shrugged. 'I worked in a prison gang, scuttling the republic's fleet in
Quon Harbour. That was twenty years ago -
Dassem had been using them to train his Marines--'" - (
DG, UK mmpb, p.330)
"'a small, flat packet of deer hide (w/drawstrings)...unfolded...to reveal a set of fine thief's tools - an assortment of picks, minute saws and files, knobs of wax, a small sack of finely ground flour, and two dismantled stilletos, the needlelike blades deeply blued and exuding a bitter, caustic smell, the bone hafts polished and dark-stained, the small hilts in pieces that hinged together to form an X-shaped guard, and holed and weighted pommels of iron wrapped around lead cores. Throwing weapons. An assassin's weapons. The last item in the packet was tucked into a leather loop: the talon of some large cat, amber-coloured and smooth. She wondered if it held poison, painted invisibly on its surface. The item was ominous in its mystery.'" - Baudin's Hidden Kit - (DG, UK MMPB, p.282)
‘So the Talons remain,’ Heboric said. ‘Then who commands you?’
‘No-one,’ Baudin answered. ‘I was born into it. There’s a handful left, kicking around here and there, either old or drooling or both. A few first sons inherited . . . the secret. Dancer’s not dead. He ascended, alongside Kellanved – my father was there to see it, in Malaz City, the night of the Shadow Moon.’ -(DG UK Tpb, p.320)
"Baudin was burned, gnawed, parts completely eaten away. He had been charred down to the bone in places, and the heat had swelled the gases in his belly, bloating him until he looked with child, the skin and flesh cracked open. There was nothing left of his features except ragged holes where his eyes, nose and mouth should have been. Yet Felisin knew it was him.
(He staggered another step closer, then slowly sank down to the ground." - DG, UK mmpb, p.596)
