Once Admiral to Kellanved's Empire

Believed to have drowned at the end of Kellanved's reign

'...huge by lowlander standards, his skin so dark as to seem black. He wore no shirt, only a sleeveless vest of heavy mail stiffened by rust. His muscles were vast, devoid of fat, making his arms, shoulders and torso look like they had been fashioned of taut ropes. He wore a belted loincloth of some

colourless material. A hat that seemed made of the torn remnant of a hood covered his head...thick, grey-shot beard

covering the lower half of the man’s face.' (HoC, UK Trade, p.155)

'The man standing within filled the doorway. Napan, massive muscles, blunt face, small eyes. His scalp shaved and white with dust, through which a few streaks of sweat ran down to glisten in his thick, wiry eyebrows.' (BH UKTpb. p.137)

Gesler: 'I once saw Urko punch down the side of a mudbrick house. Three blows, no more than four, anyway, and the whole thing toppled in a cloud of dust. That Napan bastard could

punch.’(HoC, UK Trade, p.360)
