The face and head were unremarkable; bristly short black hair, narrow fine features. No scars. The eyes, though, shone like jewels of jet - NoK p.199

Companion to Kellanved

Apsalar and Fiddler, immediately after Fiddler realizes that Dancer ascended to become Cotillion, Patron God of Assassins:

'Fiddler:...why...didn't Cotillion reveal himself to us? To Whiskeyjack, to Kalam? To Dujek? Dammit, Dancer knew us all - and if that bastard understood the notion of friendship at all, then those I've just mentioned were his friends-

Apsalar: Dancer trusted but two men. One was Kellanved. The other was Dassem Ultor.'(DG, UK MMPB, p.196)

Urko on Cotillion : "He was the most feared killer in the empire. More than Surly, who was just treacherous. Or Topper, who was just cruel. I suppose those two still think they won. Fools." (BH UK Tpb. p. 138)

Urko to Apsalar : " Assassin or not, I always liked Dancer. Especially the way he could keep his mouth shut"

"Believe him, Apsalar. Dancer doesn't lie, and I suspect even godhood won't change that." (BH UKTpb. p. 140)
