Character from The First Law by Joe Abercrombie
An aging northern veteran trying to do the right thing in a world that makes 'the right thing' impossible to define — the last decent man in a profession that eats decent men alive.
Craw is the Northman's Northman — loyal, brave, honest, and increasingly aware that those qualities are liabilities. He tries to do right by his crew, right by his cause, right by himself, and the three are almost never compatible. The Heroes follows his crew through a single battle, and Craw's perspective is the moral center — the man asking 'is this worth it?' while surrounded by people who've stopped asking. His retirement at the end is less triumph than exhaustion — he didn't win, he survived, and that's all the North ever really offers.
Old, weathered, and tired — the face of a man who's been fighting since before most of his crew were born. His body works but complains about it. His eyes are weary but still sharp.
