Timett is a tall, fierce young man with a burned out left eye, which has been left an empty pit.[4] He is not yet twenty years of age.[2]
Timett enjoys games like dice[4] and tiles.[5]
History
During the rite of manhood for his clan, Timett burned one of his eyes out of its socket with a hot knife. Because the typical sacrifice for the rite is a nipple or finger, the impressed clan elders immediately named him a red hand of the tribe. Timett was young for this position, but he inspired fear even among his fellow clansmen.[2]
