|Laggart was not a smart man. True, the things he lectured people on could fill a dictionary — but what he ''actually'' knew would barely fill a postcard.

}}
Laggart is lanky, with wiry muscles and a long, thin neck. He is bald and has scruff on his chin. [[Hoid]] mockingly compares his appearance to a buzzard. Laggart wears an unbuttoned military coat and is armed with a sword and two pistols.{{book ref|tress|13}}
 
Laggart is gruff and mean. He does not allow Tress to eat because he does not see her as part of the crew.{{book ref|tress|13}} As first officer, he saunters and struts around the ship confidently and often rudely tells off the crew for being lazy or doing their jobs incorrectly.{{book ref|tress|20}} He is very obedient to Crow, but not very bright. He prides himself on not being afraid to use the zephyr charges in the cannon, but although he is one of the crew members least frightened of the spores, he is still wary of them.{{book ref|tress|38}}
 
In his loyalty to [[Crow]], Laggart is willing to use violence against his crew members.{{book ref|tress|50}} After [[Tress]] becomes captain, Laggart is distrustful of her and is convinced that she plans to kill him as soon as he drops his guard. Because he has been treated badly for his entire life, and treated other people badly in return, it is difficult for him to recognize genuine kindness.{{book ref|tress|55}}
 
== Attributes & Abilities ==
As cannonmaster, Laggart is an excellent shot, and he shoots to sink ships without giving them warning.{{book ref|tress|10}} Instead of ordinary cannonballs that spray water to grow Verdant aether spores and immobilize enemy ships, he sneakily replaces them with more lethal ones meant to sink the ships.{{book ref|tress|25}}
 
He shows Tress how to use the cannon, although he is not a very good teacher.{{book ref|tress|38}} Later, when he is directing [[Ann]], he is much calmer and more helpful.{{book ref|tress|63}}
