Trotts

Bridgeburner

Trotts, 9th Squad, a Barghast warrior (GotM, Dramatis Personae)

Hedge: 'the Barghast’s name is Trotts, and it ain’t because he likes jogging.’(GotM, UK Trade, p.89)

'...the endless blue woad tattooing on his bared arm, the spiral patterns marred here and there by white scars.'(GotM, UK Trade, p.89)

'The Barghast had attached his entire collection of charms, trinkets and trophies to various parts of his burly body' (GotM, UK Trade, p.116)

'Trotts grinned, revealing a blue-stained row of filed teeth..' (MoI, uk mmpb, p.96)

She shrugged. ‘Heard an interesting conversation between Paran and Trotts. Turns out that Barghast bastard once had some kind of highrank in his own tribe. Something about all those tattoos (MoI)

The Barghast : They’ve come to answer Trotts’s challenge. He is the last of his own clan, and tattooed on his scarred body is the history of his tribe, a tale five hundred generations long. He comes claiming kinship, bloodties knotted at the very beginning . . . and more, though no-one’s explaining precisely what else is involved.

‘I still don’t understand the need for the duel in the first place,’ Paran said. ‘Trotts doesn’t need to make any claim – the history is writ plain on his skin. Why should there be any doubt as to its veracity? He’s Barghast through and through – you just have to look at him.’

‘He makes claim to leadership, Captain. His tribe’s history sets his lineage as that of the First Founders. His blood is purer than the blood of these clans, and so he must make challenge to affirm his status.’
