β | Makkek |
+ | Makkek is a part of a group of footpads operating in the town of [[Ironsway]] in Bavland when they kill [[Took]], Szeth's master at the time. When Makkek notices Szeth holding Took's dead body, he calls him over, intending to quiet him if need arises, but while searching Took's belongings, he picks up Szeth's [[Oathstone]]. Upon learning how it works, he decides to keep it.{{book ref|sa1|i|3}} Shortly afterwards, he orders Szeth to kill his fellow footpads to keep the Oathstone's existence a secret.{{book ref|sa1|i|6}} |
β | For some time afterwards, Makkek |
+ | For some time afterwards, Makkek has Szeth assassinate his rivals and act as his bodyguard, building the [[Shin]]'s reputation as a deadly shadow -- and his own reputation as a criminal mastermind by association. He moves to [[Bornwater]], the largest mining town in Bavland, and uses Szeth's skills to suborn or destroy pretty much every business and criminal in the city. This allows him to amass considerable wealth, which he flaunts with silk clothes and numerous lovers. His ambitions stretch further, as he intends to move to [[Kneespike]], the residence of a local lord. Throughout that time, Szeth never tells him about having a [[Shardblade]], although Makkek eventually begins to figure it out after rumors of burned-out eyes begin to spread.{{book ref|sa1|i|6}} |
β | At one point, a man named [[Gavashaw]] |
+ | At one point, a man named [[Gavashaw]] opens a tavern in Bornwater and ignores Makkek's demands, having the favour of the lord in Kneespike. This prompts Makkek to send Szeth to kill him; however, the [[Diagram (group)|Diagram]] has been waiting for such an opportunity. As soon as Szeth leaves to kill Gavashaw, their assassin murders Makkek and takes the Oathstone, then brings it and Makkek's head to Szeth.{{book ref|sa1|i|6}} |
