History
“ There are ... times when one must accept the aid of darkness in order to contain a greater darkness. ”
He is brought into the Rose Palace by Gaotona in order to craft wards with his Bloodsealing abilities to imprison Shai in a small room. He requests Shai's bones as his only payment.[2] Every morning he would visit her cell to renew his mark on the door.[3] Sometimes he arrived late which Shai noticed as a possible escape route.[4]
He has a lover in Dzhamar who wrote him letters. The arrival of those letters woke him up in the morning, which is why he came on time to stamp Shai.[5] When he didn't get news from home, he drank which causes him to arrive later to renew the spell.[6]
When Shai escapes from the Palace, he attempts to capture her with his skeletals, but fails and is wounded by Shai.[7][expand]
Trivia
"Weedfingers" is an insult directed at the Bloodsealer himself. Peter Ahlstrom believes the word probably means something similar to "butterfingers".[citation needed]
